yes the Logitech G27 can be used for PC and PS3

 

heck the realism is about there

 

but i heard PS3 will have some compatibility issues as compared to PC which is easier to configure....

 

btw prices recently dropped so i snagged it

 

i am buying it more for the heel toe technique and to learn more in general

 

and yeah the simulation is real....like stepping on the clutch pedal at high speed and yr vehicle will spin out of control

the other day i saw a pic of someone somehow managed to attach his PSP or iPhone to the centre of a circular light tube (those used in ceiling wall lightings) and used it as a steering wheel. damn creative.

 

i wonder if the player too angry or turn too hard, the glass will break or not.

I think use the one made for Wii safer, though maybe not as nice since the cavity is meant to mount the Wii controller.

i have a actual race car seat which comes with typical office chair caster wheels and height adjustment etc for home / gaming. I also have a fixed fibregrass race seat (taken from a race kart) diy secured to a second hand plastic chair. Of the two, i find the latter more fun to race online games etc, will try post pics of the two later. Not too bad lah :D
