£300 for the turbo S - which is the 'normal' kit - i.e. everything you need, pedals, rf dongle, wheel, etc. There's a 'pure' version for less, or a clubsport version with better pedals for a bit more.

That's some serious buckage!

I treated myself to the G25 and Wheel Stand Pro this week. Ready and waiting until I move out and have the 2nd bedroom as a designated gaming room in 2 months time

You must be joking that this has only just been delivered!?

[Altrezia]

Nope :/

I *think* it might be ONLY the wheel too - not including the pedals (or the pedal adaptors for G25 pedals).

Worst customer service and expectations management ever!

Hope it's worth it!

This reminds me an episode from The Simpsons where Bart was waiting for a toy (from Japan??) and hassling the 'mailman' everyday!

I spent some of yesterday reading the Fanatec thread on the FM3 forum. Thomas (I think) from Fanatec appears to have upset a few people, and seems to struggle with the task of sending out the right stuff.

it was a pre-order to be fair.

Glad its finally here.

Mine arrived about 4 weeks ago now but hardly used it. Firstly they forgot to send the g25 pedal adapter. Secondly there is no instruction manual at all and its quite a complex wheel. I still have no idea what all the LCD functions display on the wheel. I'm slower on Forza using it (rather than the pad) and the same goes for Rfactor. On the plus side there is something about the LCD that is uber-cool. Has a plug in for Rfactor allowing you to display about 5 or 6 different variables (speed, shift indicator, gear etc).

I think when people have sussed out the basics (how to set rotation degrees etc) then I'll probably put some more time into it as it has a fantastic feel and its ultra smooth feedback.

Oh, and consider yourself lucky. I ordered mine Dec 18th 2008

[LukeBird]

I think I'll wait and see how you guys get on with the wheel before I even consider ordering one.
That and the crappy exchange rate...!!

Maybe I'll be keeping the G25 longer than I thought!

Only played some Forza3 so far, as I havent worked out how to connect it to my PC yet.. haha.

Feels pretty good, but the standard pedals are gash.

And I didnt get a pedal adaptor either. :/
