I actually bought the f1 wheel as an add-on to the main unit, because I got it cheaper than this package. I thought that I might as well have both wheels! But I have to say that the GT wheel wont be put back on in a hurry as the f1 wheel is so awesome! I ran the GT wheel first (not included here) with GT5, and was a little underwhelmed. I previously owned the other cheaper gt5 wheel (driving force GT) from logitech, and thought it to be better value for money, apart from the pedals of course. So I was expecting big things from the thrustmaster unit at 4 times the price. Maybe I need to tweak a few things, but the FFB whilst strong, was not really that immersive.Then I mounted the f1 wheel and loaded up f1 2011.Immediately I saw a difference, and was shocked at how good this was. It's just fantastic! The wheel doesn't just make the game more enjoyable, it changes everything making it a totally different game! A whole new level of realism and immersion. If you like f1, buy this wheel, it exceeded all my expectations! If you can pick up the t500rs and f1 wheel as an add-on for a cheaper price like I did, then I would do that, but otherwise buy this! Like I said, I don't think I'll be bothering with the GT wheel much after trying this, but at least it's there if I get bored.Dont forget to download the latest drivers and firmware update from the thrustmaster website, even if you are using it with ps3. It will make a difference!You need a pc with XP or newer (no mac support), which I would have liked to have known beforehand, as I didn't have one. If you are in this situation, you will have to borrow one every time you want to update the firmware. I put windows on an old mac I had lying around, and will be using it for this purpose. As a ps3 endorsed product that boasts plug and play, I was a bit disappointed that it all couldn't be done on the ps3, as this is what I bought it for. It should say for PC and PS3 with PC! It will work out of the box, but wont work properly until firmware updated. The first thing that Thrustmaster support will ask you if you are having issues, is whether or not you have done this update, so it is a must. I'm still giving the product 5 stars though.The best game to use it with is an ongoing debate. Codemasters have made f1 2012 more playable with a controller, but in doing so have made it less playable with a wheel. Even though they have made a patch to attempt to remedy this, many wheel racers are still unhappy. So I would stick with f1 2011 if you can put up with a slightly older driver and track lineup. If you really must have the latest, check in with the f1 2012 codemasters forums for some ideas on how best to configure the settings. I'm hoping they get it right with the 2013 release, and am eagerly awaiting that title.
