I bought this wheel at GameStop and, although the box was marked as $99 it rang up as $49.The clerk checked twice.At any rate, even at $99 this wheel is probably worth the money.For what I paid, it is a great addition to the realism of driving on the PS3.

My home system has a 42" LG LCD television connected via HDMI cable and the sound is routed through my Yamaha RX995V stereo home theater receiver and Klipsch speakers all around. Needless to say, this setup provides outstanding realism and ambiance.Now the addition of the wheel makes driving GT5P, F1 Championship Series and Grid that much more immersing.

Sure, the Driving Force GT wheel is better in some ways, but it also $100 more and has it's own flaws.I know because I originally bought the Driving Force GT thinking it would be wireless between the unit and the PS3 but not so.My PS3 is on the other side of the room and I don't really want a ton of wires laying around everywhere because my dog would be knocking things over left and right.The other problems aside from the wires with the Driving Force GT wheel are a) you need a table to attach it to and b) even with a table, you will be very uncomfortable sitting on the edge of your average couch to get close enough to the table to actually race.

The Driving Force Wireless on the other hand sits very comfortably on your lap while you sit back in your favorite chair.No wires laying across the room, although it does require a wall outlet nearby.The force feedback on this unit is surprisingly good.You will feel every bump and whack along the way.The paddles that sit behind your hands onthe wheel work effectively as accelerator and brakes, plus the L1/R1 buttons (used for shifting in GT5P) are right there under your thumbs.It took me maybe two races to get the feel down cold.

So hey, if you like to race and you think there is something better out there than the Six Axis Controller you are right, and this is it!
