  If you buy a PS2 to PS3 adapter it will work with PC too.

  It's an amazing deal on the steering wheel! This came out only a couple of years ago and retailed for $70+

  On Amazon UK for about AUD45 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000O76ZFI/ref=asc_df_B000O76ZFI4…

  Cheap 2nd controller for PS3 assuming it works as regular controller. Manufacturer's site - http://www.fanatec.de/html/index.php?id=260&lang=en - one link to a review there (in German)

  Some bad reviews:
  http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews63127.html
  http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B00008BO9T/ref=cm_cr…

  besides, it's uncertain whether the steering wheel will work well with PS2 to USB adapter. PC users may not want to buy.

    You highlighted one bad amazon review but ignored seven 5 star reviews on the same website?

    Ok…

  furythree on 03/11/2009 - 21:30

  wait the wireless one thats ps3 compatible does it even have wire to connect the adapter to?
  it doesnt have a mount so its just a dualshock style controller and u can tilt it to simulate a steering wheel i think. epic fail

  I've been searching for more information since this came out at midday, and here's what i found.
  the steering wheel seems to be quite good according to the reviews.
  Unfortunately I could not find anything on whether it'll work on the PS3 or PC with an adapter :-(
  Price for the wheel is very good too, as the lowest i found it anywhere was $45 without postage.

  The option B controller seems quite gimmicky, and reviews I found say so as well.
  Also, it seems the shock and tilt function dont work on ps3 or PC

  meah, i got two steering wheels (one will make a great gift)and a controller, 45 bux total. i got a usb converter already and a PS2 steering wheel (unfortunately the peddles no longer seem to be working though :( so new one timing is ideal…), and i know my other steering wheel works, as long as they have a PS2 connector they should be fine as a PS doens't have drivers so the should all have the exact same outputs. (just hope they are not USB as then you could have issues.) if not ill just chuck them on the PS2…
