Oh noooooo, do the kids really really need this to go with psvr?

Euro Truck Simulator :laughing:

Thanks everyone for making this post so hot; couldn't have asked for a better first post! Congrats to everyone who took the plunge and was able to take advantage of the deal. Mine will be arriving via DPD tomorrow. :laughing:

I'll keep my eye out for more scorchers!

This is fire. Top deal OP!

Got the wheel for £99 when on offer a while ago,the paddles are great,not sure you need the gearstick.

heat added.

Oh noooooo, do the kids really really need this to go with psvr?

Got the PS3 compatible version back in the day for gt5 and gt6. Good wheel and near identical to this but Logitech won't make it PS4 compatible. No more Logitech for me if they don't add support for their premium products.

Bargain price. I never thought the price would reduce inline with what it was when they had it for £99 a while back but it's technically even cheaper now with the gearstick being worth around £40 so the wheel only really comes in at about £90. Cheers OP. Now to wait for a cheap playseat!

Hope i can buy multiple,since it would be a perfect gift for my cousin. Anyways,amazing deal.

any good stands for this?

Thanks OP! Couldn't help myself at this price its a steal!

In stock at my local store plus an extra 10% off will do me nicely.Heat from me

Great deal heat added

Really good deal :smiley:

Purchased thanks

Finally a price worth paying. Should've been this price from the beginning. Great post OP

a good ps4 racing game for this for an xmas party competition?

hot, ordered. Thanks

Got a G27, got my homebrew USB adapter + Gimx; still purchased.. :confused:

Still trying to find Thrustmaster T300 & T3PA at a decent price..

Great deal.. Amazing wheel and great price with the Gearstick, I bought mine when they were £133 in the summer without the gearstick.

Unbelievable price, now if I get this would santa bring me a rig to strap it all to.....

I can vouch for that really good sturdy stand, just so ppl know its impossible to use the wheel on your lap

​I second the GT omega. rock solid and one of the few stands without a pillar in between your legs. They have an eBay page that sells without the shipping charge in place on Amazon.

BRILLIANT price

Paid 160 for this and still haven't even opened the Parcel!!

Get the G29 though if your ya PC gamer

Are there any 2 player games using these ?

****. Got this on Black Friday. Does anyone know if the gearstick comes separate? If so I'll buy this, then take the unopened wheel back with the receipt for the Black Friday wheel

This is the stand I was intending to order...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162309998518

I also recommend the GT Omega wheelstand. Really sturdy and no pillar in the middle. There's a good YouTube video review of it here.

Don't forget Quidco.......

+1

great stand :smiley:

I couldn't resist... Got the G29 when it was £99, but at this price for the wheel and gearstick... ordered :smiley:
...now i'll have another wheel...yay!

At the moment I use it on a GT Omega wheelstand (PC gaming) and I've made a handbrake that uses a wireless Xbox controller... perfect for Dirt Rally :smiley:

Cheers op, now I'll have a spare wheel and a gearstick.. heat!

I've always wanted to buy a wheel with gearstick and pedals like this one. Maybe with a stand... But since NFS Underground, I didnt play with any racing games... But I had a bit hard time saying no to this deal :smile:

Good deal! Just a Shame no xbone version :neutral_face:

By the time the graphics have been downgraded significantly so the underpowered PS4 can handle PSVR, any amount of added realism might make the difference.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMqAIU8h6no

​there is, see description at top, two different models on offer

which version is best to use with the PC guys? ta

Looks a hot deal and have voted hot. Not sure if I'm going to buy though. I don't play that many racing games

Buy it anyway and sell it on eBay if you don't need it these never lose their value!

Hate when these come up! 3 weeks ago the currys deal was £129 for wheel and pedals and £159 for wheel pedals and shifter, I decided £129 was enough to spend...

Now for the same price I paid you get the shifter anyway lol! Not that my deal was bad but still sat here feeling bitter about it :-(

Yes, gearstick is in a separate box.

I got both for £159 on Black Friday. Now I'm wondering if they would refund the difference, or if I could buy a new one and return it on the old receipt. Not sure it's worth the effort.

Hmmm dont need one of these..... Ordered :-) :stuck_out_tongue:

wonder if Currys will actually fulfil all orders this time, unlike when the wheel & pedals went down to £99! Excellent deal if they do, but may seem too good to be true for Currys. Fingers crossed though!

Assetto Corsa, Project Cars. Driveclub is more arcade like than sim.

Ordered

I shouldn't. But I guess I already have. This seems like a mighty good deal.

Ordered! Great deal, thanks op!

I've had both the G29 and the G920 (used on PC) and I prefer the G29 as it has the dial and change lights (lights don't work in all games tho)

Now ordered another G29 + gearstick because I was missing the gearstick and never know when I need another wheel as I have couple of gaming PC's (Handy when a mate comes over for some LAN racing :smiley:

I do think the G920 is a better looking wheel tho. the grey details arn't so bright/blam as the blue.

Why cant they do one that works with ps4 and xbox one! I really an tempted so i can try driveclub VR with it. Plus GT 7 on the way. But also then could use for Forza, there not cheap accessories, but really. They expect us to buy both, im sure its simple enough for them to get them to work on both consoles.

I have ordered, will be returning amazon one which was just the wheel for £129.99 - thanks for posting!!

Magic thanks a lot

Hear hear that's exactly what I wanted!

I thought the same but I seriously doubt they'd do anything... let me know if you try to get the difference refunded though

You could call it greed on there part, but surely, If it worked for both, im sure there would be even more interest in buying one. Maybe its just licencing from sony/ microsoft.

I got this without gearstick for £129.99 , and not opened yet and still sealed so reserved this and will get a free gearstick :smiley:

I wish I had a PC just to buy this!!

​They can't "just make it compatible", it's a licensing issue. They'd have to pay a license for every old PS3 version that had been sold on the off chance it might be used in a PS4. It's economically not viable.

So yeah, expensive morning.
Gonna need a bigger desk.

Cheers OP for spending my money :disappointed::laughing:

Wow. I thought the £99 deal was a killer earlier in the year!

Heat added; however do need a stand to use. I bought one in the New Year sales @ PC World for about £180 with the stick so this is a great deal! Makes driving games so realistic although you do need to play around with the game settings before playing.

Great first deal post btw :smiley:

Me too I bought it when this came up last year. The stand makes it.

Fwiw this wheel was £99 without stick last Boxing Day.

That chip was one big lie from Logitech, how on earth all old fanatec wheels work on ps4? That is just Logitech being lazy and greedy.

I had DFGT wheel and had to sell it because Logitech dropped support for it, I will never buy any of their products again

brought! ty op.

Also 1% TCB

Awwwwww boohoo. Logitech will be crying!

Their products are second to none. Pay a lot, get a quality product, pay little, get a product you expect at that price.

All of my peripherals are logitech and none have broken - ever.

I've also had the DFGT and currently have the G27 and G29. All have never broken.

Your experience speaks for no-one.

​i got the whole thing with PSVR and play seat challenge

Which ps4 do you have? Which vr driving game do you play and is it any good, the whole package?

Ordered last year ps4 same price,now got ps4 and xbox version thanks

like quite a few people I bought it last year for £99 (without gearstick). Well worth the money spent!
The wheel and pedals are amazing.

Ordered will pick up today, i need a stand yet (Santa;) and games lol

It still was the best - as you can pick up the shifter for £24.99 every now and then..

Personally I haven't bothered with the shifter as I'm really happy with paddles..

Is the 920 that different from the G29 for PC, apart from the light.. and knob? Do I need a knob? :confused: I think I'd prefer to have support for PC/XBOX over PC/PS all things being equal.

As much as I really want one, not buying from PC world/curry's ever again. "Lee.thestoremanager" (stockport) made sure of that, worst attitude in retail ever.

they are the same as far as I can tell just one supports ps4 and one xbox one

Thanks, that's what I was thinking, going to order 920.

I'd offer an inferno, not just heat, if I could.

Thank you so much for pointing this out! I just picked one up.

Tempted to buy this. Planning on building a new PC early next year. Which version is better? Also what games would you recommend for the PC?

The best one is most certainly the G29, simply because nearly all Xbox exclusives are now coming to PC, so with the G29, you'll be able to play all PS4 exclusive racing games, alongside both PC and Xbox One games with just one wheel.

Grreat, thx! Bought 6.

unless you own a pc and a xbox one I suppose. I actually own a ps4 but the only driving game I own is forza 6 on xbox one. Hmmmm you have a point though as I suppose I could buy forza for pc but can I play with friends on xbox on the pc version?

This or the Thrustmaster TMX ?

Well the excuse is used that PS3 era peripherals are unable to work with the PS4 because if this supposed 'security chip', but how is it then that everyone can use their old PS3 era guitar and drum controllers on the PS4 Rock Band without issue? They don't have a security chip but yet they plug in and play just fine. I suspect that the real reason Logitech PS3 wheels are unable to be used with the PS4 is that Sony signed a big fat deal with the competing company Thrustmaster for them to produce the official PS4 compatible wheels, and if Sony just allowed everyone to carry on using their wheels then no-one would go out and buy a shiny new Thrustmaster one. You know, protecting their own interests and all that...

This,pedals are great on G29.

Thanks. Just off to collect a G29 bundle.

I got a g29 with the gearstick earlier on in the year, only thing missing is a hand break that Logitech dont do. Can anyone suggest a decent budget one that doesn't look as if comes off of "old sparky" or will fall apart like most of the diy/ebay ones do?

(Using the old ironing board method of mounting at the moment :wink: as no space for a proper stand )

I would go to the hospital if you have broken your hand :smile:

Had a steering wheel for my Xbox 360. Used it twice. Still tempted to buy this though!!

As good a deal as it is, when I do eventually upgrade from my dfgt, I want to lose the 'notchy' feel, still present with the g29. Voting hot anyway

I've had a GT 27 for a while now, used mainly for Euro Truck Simulator 2 :smile:

Really good, makes you feel a lot more involved. Its mounted to my desk using the built in screw mounts which works ok. The only thing I don't like are the wires everywhere when it's setup. I suppose there's no getting around that though..

If you want to use the clutch, you need the gearstick!

OOS for home delivery now

Some on eBay already. Just reserved one form my local Curry's. Thanks to the op!

I have a g27 brilliant bit of kit

clutch works fine on pcars without....

I use the playseat challenge for mine,used to use a wheelstand pro. but find this much better. takes up about the same room when folded too
https://www.boysstuff.co.uk/gaming-chairs/playseat-gaming-chairs/playseat-challenge-simulator-racing-gaming-chair/

I appear to have missed out :disappointed:

If anyone has reserved at pontefract/Wakefield and had a change of heart let me know please !

But you'll still buy Sony who make changes between PS3 and PS4 which render all your accessories obsolete? *facepalm*

Have you seen Driveclub VR? It looks worse than a PS2 game.

Have reserved for pick up but can't make it there today - you reckon they'll still apply the discount for pick up tomorrow?

apparently so, I asked the same question on live chat, plus the reservation has the price on it

Noooooo I got just the wheel for £129 from PC world...

What can I do?

Don't need it, but got it anyway. I had better get some driving games for me and the kids on the Xbox one now. Heat added.

​Looks like a deck chair

HEAT!!! Bought this about 3 months ago. Similar price but without the gearstick.
Very happy with the quality of this wheel. Having both PS3 and PS4 compatibility is great!
I've used it on Dirt Rally, Project Cars and Gran Turismo 6. A wheel transforms any racing game! Get on the internet for help with settings, especially for Project Cars!!

Heat! been after one of these for changes! Can't say no at this price. The G29 is oos for delivery but my local has one!

Loads in stock at new St Helens store maybe 20 of each so worth trip if roughly in area.

just placed the order. no home delivery, only store collection now.

Thanks OP, reserved one for pickup today. Sold my G25 about a year ago because of PS4 incompatibility and been waiting for a decent deal since. Can't say I liked using the gearstick much but if I ever go VR that might change.

Yes but how many cars have a manual clutch and paddle shifters, excluding race cars. I am not saying it doesn't work but it is not very realistic. I bought this wheel last year and know it inside out, it is much, much better with the gear stick, you would have to be a moron not to buy it without!

Just an FYI, 14:36 Saturday plenty of stock in staples corner branch

This is what I found for Forza Horizon 3 (PC)...

"Cross Play in Horizon 3 covers all online modes, co-op, competitive, and "playground" modes like King, Infected, and the new Flag Rush modes. ".

Caught a deer here plus deal is hot, heat added

Talk about hyperbole...

Amazing price for this. Got one on the black friday deal. A force feedback wheel makes such a difference. So much fun!
If you want it for PC get a g29 as it has an extra dial and buttons. Also the G29 seems to be way more popular if you need a fix down the road)


It absolutely is Sony's doing. They prevent compatibility. This is not new behaviour for them. Adding support for the wheel is a simple driver.
The G27 is still supported on PC. I think the G25 still is as well.

Damn that's great. I bought it for 160 on black Friday. Great price and great wheel. Must buy

I've got this wheel and play it on the xbox one. It's not as good as the G27, it's too plastic feeling but works fantastically.
I've only played F1 2015 and 2016 so far with it and it's faultless. peddles need modification if you don't have a fixed seat. This is a 5 minute jobbie and improves it so much.

Just ordered the package from Currys/PCWorld in Cambridge. I nearly bought this for ££ more during Black Friday, so I am cuffed to bits at having waited and got this deal.

Still within time for the distant seller regulation. Send it back and save yourself some $$$.

So everybodys a moron if they don't buy one ? what's others thoughts to this sweeping statement ?

Best deal ever for the bundle. Heat added! I'm so lucky I got the wheel + shifter for £100 in the summer!

Bought this on Black Friday for £140.
Shame the pedals are to big for the playseat I have.
Check it out 1st.

For anyone that bought this on Black Friday I just had Currys refund the difference on the phone. It's outside the 7 day price guarantee. Push the fact that their return period is until 14th January over the christmas period and have them speak to a manager(My refund was only approved on speaking to a manager for a second time).

Saved me a pointless trip to the local Currys to pick up something only to return it :smiley:. Impressed with Currys. Amazon now makes you do the return! Thanks OP.

did you buy it from the store or online? Was it head office cust services you spoke to? I have the same problem...

Bought this today via click and collect but having to take it back.Works fine on PC but on my PS4 it keeps re-calibrating while playing so I'm driving straight with the wheel at an angle :disappointed: Happens in both Project cars and Drive Club.
Really nice on PC though if you're thinking of getting one.

Good deal

Might be worth downloading the Logitech software and check if its got the latest firmware in...

I bought it online. I only spoke to the customer services rep. He was kind enough to speak to 2 different managers.
I rang 0344 561 0000 and just kept pressing the button for other until it put me in a queue for a person.

Thanks but it's saying it's the latest.

Bad Luck mate,If Currys dont have another contact Logitech,their customer support is great....

Thanks OP. Was waiting for the thrustmaster 300rs to come down in price but had to grab this at the current price :smile:

Thumbs up here for the 920. Got one for Xbox One, only I got it a couple of months ago before the price started dropping:( Got the Wheelstand Pro for it also, altogether a good solid setup. Now to learn how to use it properly!

Gutted, closest xbox one to Essex is 51 miles away, ps4 2 miles, but most of my racing games are xbox

Are there any issues with them honouring the online buy and/or click and collect?

Just collected this at Blackburn, Lancashire store and they had a good amount of stock there

​can't believe you had to ask.. moronic :-)

​got my click and collect no issues. last one at workington I believe

Yes you can, you can use the paddles for accelerate and brake and the gearstick for gears, I used my G25 like this when my pedals packed up, it's tricky but doable and you can use auto gears so you don't really have to use the stick.

If you are spending over £100 on a steering wheel generally speaking you are looking for an immersive experience. To get this most immersive and realistic experience you need to have the gear stick, as a lot of cars have a manual gearbox with a gearstick. The pedals for the wheel also have a clutch, that's the one on the left if you don't know, and most cars that have this, excluding some race cars, have a gear stick to go along side this. Meaning that the manufacturer of the wheel is obviously seeing this has a suitable addition to the wheel! When it comes to the 'space' argument that you Will surely come back with, if you have space to mount this wheel, you have the the extra 6 or so inches along side this for the gearstick. Hope this clarifies my argument.

Great deal. I was forced to get one thanks to Dirt Rally. Makes so much difference to Project Cars too.

Got it and currys paid me 1p even to get it :smile:

Picked mine up from Hove store. Loads of both in stock. Any ideas best place to sell the gear stick?

Thought as much Dan looking at the number of likes on your profile,goes some way to explain how many likes you have been given on your profile its not like you have only been on here week or so is it !
I probably have been driving in real life before you was born and playing competitive sim racing for over 30 years,so your random child's rambling doesn't wash kid,might have to watch out for low flying toys on your next message :smile:

If I ever need a brain transplant, I’d choose yours because I’d want a brain that had never been used. :laughing:

Careful :innocent: you will have danbrooks9237 calling you a moron as your not getting the full sim experience,look at his posts....

If anyone is after one in the north east i have a reservation at Team Valley PC World store under number "2402aby"

I have decided against getting one as i'll buy it and never get enough time on it.

Standard PS4 its for Driveclub VR, cant tell you anything else as present for kids on xmas.

PS2 didn't do VR

Any recommendation on how to mount or a compatible seat ? Sorry, would love to use this but don't know how as I currently use a low gaming chair as you can see in the link below.
http://www.argos.co.uk/wcsstore/argos/images/208-5668942A71UC580369X.jpg

The problem with making the driving experience too realistic is the 2d screen becomes the weak point. These games are just as exhilarating with a basic wheel, unless you're going for a near seamless 40"+ 3 x screen set-up, even then I'll wait for VR before taking this too seriously.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Logitech_Racing_Wheels_compatible_games

Not a great game selection :disappointed:

The gear sticks no good for the new Assetto Corsa Porsche 911 Carrera S that pumps 420 hp (309 kW) via the 7-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox
voted hot though
click

same price as black friday

No it's not

Black friday was £129 just for the wheel

G29 or G290 for PC? I'm not going to be using it on a console. It looks like the Playstation version has the shifter lights in the middle of the steering wheel?

Dirt rally is a game you need to play on a wheel.

The gearstick is fine for H shift cars but pretty useless for any others, most cars are sequential so better with the paddles, Logitech in their infinite wisdom decided to remove the switch for sequential after the G25, the shifter is fine for classics but not really needed in my opinion, there is a mod that you can do on them to make it sequential though but it requires being taken apart.

I have Thrustmaster with the TH8RS and use it sequential, only about 10 percent of cars use a H shifter so I never use the H plate.

I chipped a G25 and managed to get it running Gran Turismo from a CD-RW for a while, but it crashed.

Great deal, got the g27 and have barely used it :disappointed:

​maybe you need more driving lessons?

Don't forget to try out LFS on the PC.



Live for Speed is a serious racing simulator. No arcade modes, no steering aids - YOU have to do the driving.

The forces affecting the car's motion are simulated individually at each wheel. We recommend the use of a steering wheel, because although you can use the keyboard and/or mouse, a wheel and pedals provide a lot more accuracy. The force feedback sent to the steering wheel is calculated directly from the forces, with no canned effects. This allows you to feel what is happening at the contact patch between your tyres and the road, helping you to get closer to the limit without exceeding it too much!

When you have a lot of speed and you approach a corner, you must brake well in advance or you will end up somewhere you don't want to be! You need to find the best way through any sequence of bends by going through them many times. There's always more to learn.

https://www.lfs.net

Same here :-(

Thanks for the post. My G25 has been sitting there unused for a few years now since the PS4 came out... The amount of great racing games now almost demand a replacement. Project Cars is a great game even with a controller but literally just bought Assetto Corsa in the US PSN sale and it's already clear you need a wheel to get the most from it.

Then after that there's F1 2016, DIRT Rally and the new Gran Turismo coming out next year so a great time to get a wheel.

Cracking deal for a first post. Welcome aboard!

I've ordered a G29, will I be able to use this at all with my Xbox One? I've seen some people using the Playstation wheel on the Xbox before. I primarily play on my PS4 and PC but I have Forza Horizon 3 for the Xbox.

I bought one of these 4 years ago for my DFGT and now use it with my G29;

http://wheelstandpro.com/

It works well as a handbrake, just use a rubber band to keep it in 3rd and bind handbrake to 4th gear. Change gears with the paddles.

It is annoying but on the flip side Logitech have made a good quality product that is far cheaper than the decent alternatives like the Fanatec, Thrustmaster etc.

Testament to the great value they offer is that I've just seen a G25 go for £92 on Ebay. So about £60 (£130-£70) for an upgrade after Ebay fees is very reasonable.

And no loose surfaces. Tarmac racing is for pussies, it's a shame that nothing came even close to Richard Burns Rally in the last 12 years..

I've got the Thrustmaster T150 (bought for 49.99 in the Argos price glitch). Just finished Drive Club and moving onto Dirt Rally and Project Cars. Worth changing to the G29? Got one reserved.

And even if it did break, Logitech's CS is second to none.

I was reading the previous deal threads for the G29 and there were a few reports of noise from the steering wheel.

Has anyone that picked one up today noticed or been bothered by noise from their wheel?

Thanks

Incredible deal! Get Assetto Corsa as well (PC, PS4, XB1) for some trackday simming - best force feedback, and top physics.

Thanks OP - Managed to pick up in store in Ireland for 160 Euro - it wasn't advertised anywhere - only for the fact I saw this deal you posted I would never have got one today - Thank you so much!

thankx

Logitech are a class apart as far as quality of customer service and products are concerned. They should be held up as examples of how things should be done far more often.

Good price, so voted hot. However, these are pretty rubbish wheels as Logitech only created them because the G25/G27 weren't compatible with current gen consoles. They are essentially same wheels in sheep's clothing. I would recommed going for the Thrustmaster T150 for PS4 of Thrustmaster TMX for Xbox One that utilise some of the tech in their top range T300 and T500 wheels and are genuinely a step forward in wheel controller development. You can also upgrade the pedals to more professional Thrustmast T3PA in future for £70 odd too. Cheaper and way better wheels. That's not just my opinion either. Look up reviews on YouTube from the like of Inside Sim Racing.

Another Christmas present sorted :smiley:

I was looking at the thrust master TX or 300, and while I admit they are superior feedback with the brushless there just seems to be too many issues with reliability AND support which was stopping me hitting the buy button on one (thinking about the pain if something goes wrong and having my lad whinging at me) and at £300+ to get a three pedal setup plus no gearstick - no brainer really

Thanks and heat added

Couldn't resist biting, been waiting for a decently priced wheel for Driveclub/Project Cars on PS4.

A long shot, but does anyone know if this would work on a Mac running Parallels (so effectively a Windows machine)? Hoping I can use the wheel to play Forza 6 Apex on my iMac, thereby destroying any intentions I once had of using the iMac solely as a workstation for my photography work. Goodbye life!

I have the sad feeling I got one on hold I won't be able to collect tomorrow due to 'other plans'.
:disappointed:

Sounds like an awesome wheel.

Nope, you'll need the G920 for Xbox One, a G29 will not work

Would the price to pay in store be 129.99 if I've reserved on Saturday but collected on Sunday?

Yes. See their terms and conditions (http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/terms-and-conditions-1044-theme.html), second section down (Our contract after you have ordered) - "Just take your Reserve & Collect print out and/or reference number with you and our store will sell you the goods at the website price or store price, whichever is cheaper."

I was in the same boat but just did a buy it again then immediately return it with the original receipt to get the cash back.

wont let me pay and collect, only reserve and collect.. which isnt ideal as the store that it lets me do it with isnt as close as ones i would have rather paid to collect from. (in Newcastle rather than the bloody Metrocentre)
plus the fact that i'm working sunday and monday and not off till tuesday...:confused:

oos

whops just noticed it was a Saturday deal so expired now
n

Still available, I ordered after midnight.

Just ordered at 2am

​collection or delivery?

still showing 129.98

Collection....

​I have this stand, had it for a few years now and it's still as good as day 1, useful if you need to tuck the steering wheel away from time to time, easy to store away and quickly bring back out for a quick session

Will they honour the price??

That's what I was thinking!

I managed to order this for collection, had a phone call from the store to say the one i reserved was display and they couldn't sell me it :/

Managed to order for delivery for today (sunday) had an email saying they may not be able to deliver in the time scale , anyone else have this :<

just collected mine, they put the wrong one by for me, but luckily that had a few left of both models.

Reserved mine yesterday when the deal came out a d Collected today at the £129 too good to miss this deal,

So just correcting you as you say the clutch wont work without the gearstick fitted which is incorrect you start throwing the toys out of the pram saying everybodys a moron if they dont use one and start rambling on like a kid saying Im the best sim race ever and start calling names by passing the swear filter,your not welcome on here by me anyway and looks like not well liked looking at your profile that has been so helpful to others.

Does your mum know your typing these silly abusive messages hidden in your bedroom ?

Don’t you realize that there are enough people to hate in the world already without your working so hard to give us another?

So happy I bought this! Now for the setup lads! Any DIY recommendations on how to construct a stand ?

Did I ever say that the clutch wouldn't work without a gearstick, if you can find a quote from me stating that I'll take everything I said back! And as for the people that 'hate' me, you were the one that made this personal, not me! And by the way if you are basing my age on that photograph I can tell you that it was taken about 10 years ago. Furthermore I think you are the one saying that you are the best at racing sims, as you have apparently spent 30 years playing them, what racing sims they are I don't know, as far as I am aware there weren't any racing sims hat long ago? Anyhow this will be the last time I respond to you, as I honestly have lost interest in this now.

And if I'm the one with a brain that has never been used how come on the 2nd to last line of your last response you should have written you instead of 'your', bit hypercritical you think, and in the first paragraph you should have used I'm or I am instead of 'Im'.

Listen you buffoon,you have nothing to say that's of any interest or beneficial on this post or indeed looking at the whole website looking at your profile,give it a rest .

Here is a screen shot,hope it helps,I mentioned the clutch can be used/works on pcars without the gearstick and it does,if you dint know what it does it disconnects drive from the engine to the transmission which is handy for standing starts.hope that helps,it certainly does not help you calling people morons for not using one.

[img]jpg images[/img]

Picked mine up this morning (for Xbox One).

Still don't even know why I bought it; guess it seemed too good a deal to pass up on! :smile:

Just caught a silver bearded flamedeer...lovely(_;)

Anyone order online and now saying out of stock ? I spent nearly an hour on the phone to currys (mostly in que) and apparently the gear shift isn't in stock and they don't know when it will be in.

Wonder if they show in stock in a store if they will uphold the price and I'll cancel my online order ?

DPD turned up earlier with my order but all they delivered was the gear shift, They didn't say anything about items being sent separately, This could get interesting...

Same here, but ps4 version.
Had it reserve since yesterday, chose not to buy them woke up this morning played abit of project cars and looked on eBay which convinced me to buy lol.

Hmm this might explain why I got two DPD text messages and emails for the one order.

Yes they did. Now a happy boy as last time they had the offer on for the steering wheel only they did not.

Recevied my G29 today and was playing Drive Club. It's amazing.

Anyone know if these adapters are good. It's a shame I can't try Forza.

Had one reserved from yesterday bit the bullet and bought... What games do people recommend for pc? I had my eye on forza

Long drive through xmas traffic to pick up mine. Happy I got it but too shattered from 'real driving' to actually go and hook it all up !

Saw another happy chap who picked up one in front me in store.

Forza Motorsport isn't great these days imo. It feels off compare to the examples I'm about to give. Although the Forza Horizon series does seem to be excellent. So I'd recommend one but not the other.

Project Cars - To me the successor to Gran Turismo. Loads of tracks, massive grids (up to 43 cars), great sounds and a decent amount of cars. I say decent because for racing cars it's amazing but road cars are certainly lacking although it does have some of the important ones like the P1 and McLaren F1.

Assetto Corsa - Just bought this recently and although it's not as good as Project Cars in terms of tracks and cars what it does have is bloody good. In terms of tracks it's a bit lacking but the small amount of cars it has are mainly gems. It's got the big three P1, La Ferrari, Porsche 918 and cars that make a car fan like myself almost drool. Lotus 98T, Lotus 25, Ferrari 312T, Porsche 917/30 etc etc...

After that although I haven't got them yet there's F1 2016 and DIRT rally both from British developers Codemasters which both look worth a try.

Thanks everyone for making this post so hot; couldn't have asked for a better first post! Congrats to everyone who took the plunge and was able to take advantage of the deal. Mine will be arriving via DPD tomorrow. :laughing:

I'll keep my eye out for more scorchers!

Collected mine this afternoon. I reserved the G29, went to the store and collected and walked out. Quite easy to set up. Now just need some racing games. On a slightly unrelated note, have you seen this nutter using a similar wheel, this guy is amazing: https://youtu.be/9tr9HCwuh3E?t=30s

Edit - Forgot to say thanks OP, I had no plans to buy this but am so glad I did, should last years!

Euro Truck Simulator :laughing:

This guy's nuts.. Lol check the heel and toe

If you like full on sim Automobilista is damn good plus you can double the cars and tracks with all the mods available on Racedepartment, Reliant Robins are a hoot lol.

Thanks to the OP
Collected mine g29, omega gt stand will come on Tuesday

​Just got them to reset my long lost password linked to a long lost unknown email address. still people playing online too. Been playing this all day. Superb game. Now need to get my lap times down to what they were 14 years ago.

got this

thanks op. collected today , made a make shift table from wood I had lying around and started playing drive club. had alot of fun! only thing that was weird was that I could change gear without pressing the clutch , that would grind the hell out of your gear box lol

I'd like to know this also. Bought the G29 for PS4 & Driveclub/Dirt Rally but hoping to get an Xbox One at some point for Forza. If this adapter works that would be perfect.

I looked at these myself, to use a PS3 wheel on PS4. It makes the wheel emulate a joypad, so there is less precision in steering, and the force feedback is faked from the joypad vibration input. I decided it was useless, and bought a new wheel instead.

Argh!

I didn't have the option to buy it for home delivery. Could only reserve and collect.
I reserved successfully - and got the confirmation email. But for some reason, I mistakenly assumed that I would receive a further confirmation when it was ready for pickup.

Fast forward to 2 days later - haven't received anything and actually read the email this time. Turns out the reservation was available for pickup immediately - and expired after the first day! :disappointed:

Gonna go and see if the manager will still be kind enough to honour the price of my initial reservation. If not, I'll be gutted and will have missed the opportunity.

I ordered my stand from http://wheelstandpro.co.uk on Saturday and haven't any shipping notice yet.

Anyone else ordered from them?

If you order a GT Omega stand direct from http://gtomegaracing.com/ then the code "MODDEDUK" will get you 5% off.

Well - the email stated that the wheel would be available for collection "until the end of the next working day" which by legal definition isn't a Sunday so I went on the way home from work today - to be refused my order with them telling me it is only 24 hours :disappointed: - this was despite me showing them legal definitions for what states a working day (excludes Sunday's and Bank Holidays for retail) all I was getting was - we work Sunday's so it is a working day.

This is poor practice for Currys - they should put on their emails - end of the next day, or even putting down the date it expires - well and truly peeved now :disappointed:

I thought about leaving it until today too but thought it was a big risk so like everyone else, dashed to the store on Sunday :smiley:

I'm afraid the early bird catches the worm buddy

No it wasn't mate - it is Currys being rectums about it - legally working day has a legal definition and they should honour it - the order was still there behind the counter

It was a who wants to be a millionaire moment - I will now personally try to steer my purchases away from Currys - and will be closing my business account with them. Their loss more than mine I am afraid

No pun intended but surely you'll need a steering wheel to aid you in that endeavour :smile:

Yep I had the same experience. They even got the wheel in shifter out and it was on the counter in front of me - but I was expected to pay the full price for it. I spoke to 2 managers but they just wouldn't budge. I could see I wasn't going to get anywhere so just had to accept it and walk out...

Oh well... maybe next time.

Yes it was :smile:

Currys should not use the word next working day when they mean next day (which has two different definitions) - I wonder how many people who had the correct understanding and purchased anyway - it is a form of dishonest enticement by not making it perfectly clear - they should be putting the date on your confirmation email of when the offer expires - Argos do and we all know what their IT systems are like

Have a look down on this page - there are many others as well
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/46/section/1173

Email their headoffice, maybe they will be sympathetic ​

I have same poor experience as well. I reserved the order on Saturday evening and then phoned the consumer services on Sunday to ask if it is possible to collect the item on Monday, or I was happy to pay for the item immediately. I was advised that I had to pay in the store and could collect the order on Monday with the offer price. I went to the store on Monday but was told my reservation had expired!

Really bad impression for Currys now…

I have actually gone through the reserve process again to see what comes up and the wording shown is (this was at 10pm last night)

Your items will be ready on Tuesday 13th December 2016 from 09:00 until the end of the next working day

Is it me as that is saying you have 2 days to collect anyway as a minimum? The same wording would have appeared doing the reservation on Saturday night, and with that wording a reservation made on a Friday night should still be available for collection on Monday as well.

I have logged a case with the help desk (whatever use that will be) and if anybody wants the reference to quote ping us a message and I will pass it on - I am also sending a letter (recorded) and will copy it to the CEO's office

I didn't say it above but I was able to negotiate a £20 discount so still purchased so I am down £60 on this and not £80 but it is also proof that I did go to store and purchase said item

The need to get this misunderstanding sorted out for their own benefit really - as I said, I am closing the business account now with PCW as at this time I don't really want them to benefit from my custom D: and other people/customers will also feel similarly.

I ordered online for next day delivery and rang them to be told OOS (the shifter apparently OOS with no expected date) , heard nothing about my delivery so rang a local store and they said they would honour the online price for a week after the offer price. Picked my wheel up yesterday night and the store had no issues with selling me it at 129.98

Cancelled my online order today

Maybe worth trying a different store

Would anyone who missed this deal be interested in a G920 unopened collection from West Yorkshire at the deal price ?

I couldn't get mine either... it was "reserved" but only the shifter was there... nothing else. Being 'really sorry' after I'd made the 80 mile return journey and ignoring posting to them via FB is rubbish.

Currys just proved very poor execution on their "1 day deals" and won't see another penny from my family anymore.

NB: to the kind poster above, I'd love to get the deal but West Yorkshire is just a tad too far from me. Great offer & HUKD spirit to you!!

That's unacceptable. You made a reservation and were in time to pick it up. If they didn't have stock then the onus is on them to provide you with an alternative. I wouldn't let that one go. You should chase it up

How did you create a Helpdesk request? Please share details as I would like to take this further too.
Thanks

I am in West Yorkshire but need a G29...Anyway thanks

I called their number 03445610000 - then options 4 4 then 2
I have been offered the £60 difference back although I was informed I would be contacted today by their finance dept to arrange payment to bank account but not heard anything - I will be chasing them up tomorrow

This is covered in their T & C's though if it is out of stock... For me it wasn't and I purchased it to prove my loss

Anyone got a play seat challenge ? Could do with one of those on offer now haha

My offer still stands on the wheel for sale until Saturday.

Basically I ordered one online was OOS, so went to store and bought it and cancelled the online order. They then didn't refund my online order and delivered it so now have 2.

Gonna return it into a store Saturday unless someone wants to take me up on it

mines been in my boot since Sunday... I think am going to save it for xmas break!!!

which is better stand

Wheel Stand Pro

or

Omega GT

I ordered the Omega, it looks way sturdier. 5% off with code I posted earlier too.

I went for the wheel stand pro... for the ease of putting it away and adjusting for different people. And the space...

Where do you live? I am interested...

Pm'd

Yea I was thinking the same... Are you happy with it? Every locked in to place??

It hasn't arrived yet, I was waiting for stock to order order it from the uk site, but then ordered via Amazon yesterday. All reviews are positive so I'm hoping it will be fine though I still wouldn't go for the GT purely because of the number of knobs to turn! Next would be the playseat challenge, but then I didn't like the idea of the velcro's so I was left with little choice!

Was debating on getting this but decided against it, regretting it big time!

Hoping a similar offer pops up on the g29 again soon!

Well, Currys contacted me today and processed my refund - they said that it would hit my bank in 5-7 working days - I asked if that was normal working days or Currys working days - mike drop :smile:

Update:

So I sent an email to Currys customer services.



And then got the following reply today:


I've replied and provided my phone number so that they can call. But it's not looking positive so far.

Any advice?

Get it escalated to the management team - quote my reference if you want (I will PM it to you shortly) - also, on the website when ordering it would have stated your reservation will be ready (at a time in the morning) and will be available until the end of the next working day - now I read that as two days - just repeat (calmly) that their process is inconsistent throughout and is at best confusing - you stated correctly the government legislation, and that "working day" has legal definition so incidents like this where the term can meany many things to different people have a legal reference

Also, state that they should say clearly the date (and time) that the reservation expires - Argos do

The advantage that I have is that I did purchase and could prove loss - although I was never asked to provide proof of my purchase - just my reservation number

Did you go for the gearshifter v1 or v2? I wonder what is better for couch racing?

v2. That's what's advised for couch racing.

ok installed G920 & just tried Grid Autosport... Doesn't work - will need to go into tweaking mode for this game :disappointed:
Thought a premium wheel would just work lol

I take it ur on PC , Did you install Logitech gaming software and the drivers went on ok?

Nice one cheers, going to order this soon I think, looks by far the best stand for the money.

Is anyone have any issues with the 920 on fh3? mine seems to constantly turn to the left making it unplayable

​yeah latest drivers and firmware. sorted in the end by changing an XML file.... cheers...

finally set mine up! im a bit disappointed in the amount of vibration in projects cars when in the rough?

the wheel is weighted but no/minimal vibration... is this normal???

Have you got any further?

Hi folks,
So as an update to my attempt to buy this set...
I managed to find somebody on the online chat / help on the Currys support desk to open a ticket for me due to the store only reserving the gear shifter.
The resolution was that I put the product on hold at a store closer to me and pay the full price of £209.99 and I'll get a £80 refund on my purchase.
So that's what I've done...
I haven't opened it yet, I'm looking at buying a GT Omega for it and a driving game... but which one!? :smiley:

Thank you folks on here for suggesting I follow up on this.

Have a look here http://forum.projectcarsgame.com/showthread.php?35635-G29-Discussions-Plus-Support-and-Settingsfor,I was disappointed at first,but feels good now :smiley:

Didn't get a further reply to my email so I called them up. The rep repeated the same thing to me about Sunday being a working day for Currys. I pushed the point - and eventually he said he would send an email to the manager of the store and CC the area manager - requesting them to honour the original price. I was told I would get a call back, but haven't heard anything back. Just called again, and the rep said he would get the store on the line and then connect me through to the call. Just hope I don't end up hearing the same line about Sunday being a working day again.

I'll let you guys know how it goes.

So regret not getting this now!

I've been absolutely delighted with my G29, using it with my PS3, and I've practically had to fight the kids to get a go.. and that's only having Gran Turismo 6 or Burnout Paradise to play!
I found a copy of Dirt3 - Complete, on ebay, seems to be in quite short supply.
If I'd know how much better the games are, I'd have bought one last year and be willing to pay the £160 instead of this bargainous £130 price!

Next up is to get a stand - the wife wants her ironing board back. Luckily ours is a quite sturdy metal one, but even then does flex a bit when the driving gets rough.
I am hoping that these people http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/riceesproducts resume making and selling them, they stopped before Xmas :-(

Nominated you @OneMaccChap for this competition.

hotukdeals

I received a response through ebay, they said they'll be resuming sales "in the next couple of days"

Sounds like you need one of these :smile:

Competition? What competition is this?

Thanks though, I think! :smiley:

Its to win one of them amazon dot things on hotukdeals instagram.
Basically you share best deal you bought personally.
Take a pic of the said item and if I win, you win.
So good luck to us both and thanks for the deal.
Getting a stand for it 2moz.

the guy is now selling steering wheel stands on ebay again,

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Steering-Wheel-Stand-for-Logitech-Thrustmaster-PS3-PS4-Xbox-360-Xbox-One/152381103785

don't forget topcashback and nectar points on ebay.

Are these any good bearing in mind the pole in the middle?

I don't know, I've never owned a wheel stand, but there's a similar thing at twice the price which seems to get good reviews.

After using this for a few weeks, this thing is awesome. Kids won't let me have a go :disappointed: I highly recommend Assetto Corsa, the graphics aren't as sparkling as Project Cars but it has better physics, also its a blast playing online :sunglasses:

That's fab, thanks very much!

Lets see some pics of those killer setups people sound like they're working on!
