Good quality entry-level racing wheel from Thrustmaster at a great price with free standard delivery from BT Shop.
Have been looking for a reasonably priced wheel that's better quality than the real bargain-basement models and this seems to fit the bill nicely! Also cheaper from BT of all places than Amazon were selling their used returns.
@ Amazon for £67.69 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Thrustmaster-Ferrari-Italia-Racing-Wheel/dp/B005L0Z2AC
Plus 20% off a racing game which makes some of the pre-orders cheaper than anywhere else.

this looks like it'll blend in well with my Bus Simulator, heat!

Sorry no idea! The Italia definitely does PC/360 and the Spider the Xbox One - have they made it so Xbox One peripherals aren't PC compatible?

Does that one DEFINITELY work on the PC too? :confused:

I bought one of these recently off eBay for £26 delivered. It is well made and clamps well to my desk. It's USB powered and shows up as a XBOX 360 controller. It's not force feedback but is sprung so has some resistance when you turn the wheel.
I've used it on both Euro Truck Sim 2 and Dirt Autosport on the PC. Both benefit greatly from using the wheel and pedals.
As an entry level device I'd recommend this and the BT shop price for a new one is pretty good too!

Looks like it's just the PC & 360, but the 'Spider' edition does support Xbox one for a couple of pounds more -
This has an Xbox button on it - anyone know if it supports Xbox One?

I didn't know BT sold video games and gadgets online, I learn something everyday! :smiley:

It used to be ran by the same people as Dabs I think. When I ordered a flight stick from them a few years back, their site was practically identical to Dabs apart from a different colour, and different prices.

Yeah pretty sure BT bought dabs a while back and think they are just renaming it as their own.
