 PS2 Driving Force Wheel works with PS3 March 3, 2008

This forced feedback wheel works great on PS3 system. Note that the USB connection to the game system is required, and there is slightly less than 9' of USB cable attached to the wheel. If you need more, get a USB extender. Also, the wheel *REQUIRES* something to anchor to, sold separately. Read the reviews before you consider the Logitech Lap Attachment (and heed them!).
 AWESOME!!!!!! January 29, 2008
This is the best wheel for PS2's GT 4 game. I mount it to a TV tray table and it sets at the correct height for a regular folding chair. It has the paddle shift handles and a manual shifter (stick). Both of which function on GT4. Forsake all other steering wheels and get this one.
Was impressed!! January 2, 2008
The wheel works great. I like how it self calibrates and is ready to go after that. It makes the racing feel so much more realistic. The only thing I would change is the mounting clamps dont fit the evolution seat as well as I would have liked. But other than that I love the wheel.
Great Addition to the PS3 December 15, 2007
I am really happy with this steering wheel. The 900deg turn option rocks for games like F1. Makes the driving a lot more realistic. I don't have it permanently mounted on a table or anything, that is my only disatisfaction...but that is a problem with my setup, not the wheel. I also wish more games supported it!
Great wheel for PS3, problematic pedals December 11, 2007

I purchased this wheel specifically for use with a Playstation 3. There are two limitations with the PS3, since this was a PS2-specific design. First, the connection is USB-based, not wireless. The supplied cable is plenty long enough for my setup, though. Second, no PS button, meaning I have to have the SixAxis controller nearby for exiting the game, etc. All other controls are present and well-designed.
On the whole, I like the pedal setup just fine; it stays put, is easy enough to use, and having the ability to apply half or three-quarters throttle, rather than having to tap the controller button on-off-on-off to simulate that works very nicely. I have to downcheck the unit one star for the lack of reliability in the pedals, though. Mine failed after three days: the gas would cut off for no apparent reason, and the brakes would apply themselves randomly. Not a good trait when driving at a virtual 180 mph. :-) Amazon promptly replaced the unit, and so far, no problems with the new one, but a search on the internet reveals that many people have experienced similar problems, and applied various kludges to fix them.
Touch and control with the wheel is spectacular in the 900 degree mode (supported on the PS3 in GT5 HD Concept, and presumably in the full game when it ships). Less stellar in 200 degree mode (supported, for example, by Ridge Racer 7), but still quite usable. The force feedback and rumble work well. This would be a five-star product but for the questionable quality-control or design issue with the pedals.
