Same deal as last week which ended on Father's Day. Confirmed with live chat this one ends September 30.
The G920 wheel comes with a bonus shifter and Forza Horizon 3 pre order. I picked one up last week as it seemed to be a good deal with Forza, you save over $250 off RRP (if you include Forza at its $88 HN price, cheaper elsewhere).
This time there's also the G29 with a bonus shifter (no game) but still decent value.

I looked at the TX for XB1 before I bought this but I really wanted a clutch and shifter. I'll admit I wouldn't have paid retail for the G920 + shifter but for $398 including Forza (which I was gonna buy anyway) I figured it was worth it for a bit of fun. Guess it depends how into it you are :)
Just an FYI if youre not interested in the game G29 and G920 are both $329 at MSY but it ends today I think
I just had a look at MSY and it is advertised as $329 but when you had it to cart it is $345? Would have probably bought it otherwise
ah maybe it ran out already cause the original price is $349
Just as another FYI PLE are also throwing in a shifter for $349

Been really tempted to pick up this G920 since its been on sale since last week. Haven't bit the bullet yet
If only the t300rs was sub $400 in the $300 range I would have bit the bullet.Anyone know of any discount that can get the t300rs to below $400.
Have any friends work in EB? 20% employee discount brings it down to $399

F1 2016 or Assetto Corsa bundle.
I've seen these and always flirted with wanting one, but always wondered how they mount up without a dedicated bucket seat setup. Would these just rest on your lap and flop around?
They can't rest on your lap. They need to be fixed to something.
You can buy a metal stand for $100+ or you can use a coffee table. The bucket seat is optional.
Just saw this one http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/lynbrook/console-accessories/… looks like a good setup.
Still sore that I missed out on that cheap as chips G27 from DS all those years ago…
Consider yourself lucky, many G25/G27 have optical encoder wheel problems which makes the centering of the steering wheel go off centre gradually, whilst playing. Logitech saved a few dollars by using cheap plastic. An aftermarket brass encoder wheel replacement is available but costs about $50 each, and installing it is a bit of a pain because you've got to remove a lot of bits and pieces before you get to it.
I saw those but thought the centre rod might interfere with left-foot braking.
I picked up a GT Omega instead. Feels very sturdy. I've put about 200 hours into it already (Gran Turismo) and no complaints.
They mount on a table and you sit at the table. I suppose that's a little harder for consoles than PC, but that's what you do either way.
Ah ok.. that sounds a bit more stable. I watched the video review on the HN website and the guy looked like he had it on his lap…
Gamesmen are selling a bundle with wheel, shifter, and one game for $399. I picked up the G29 with F1 2016.
I wish I'd taken the plunge years ago. Racing games with a wheel are infinitely better.
Agree. Racing games needs to have a wheel
How does this compare to the Thrustmaster TX Racing Wheel Ferrari 458 Italia Edition?
Read first comment, TX is a 300RS for Xbox.
The G29 works with PC aswell.
If you live near Computer Alliance in Brisbane, they are selling them for $329 and $59 for shifter. Also Umart have them for $345.
Pretty sure I saw a sign in JB the other day with both of them for $399 with a shifter and either Assetto Corsa or F1 2016, so that's going to be a better deal for PS4 owners.
if only the pre-order forza horizon 3 was xbox anywhere :(
Picked up one of these today came with a Shifter and a Copy of Forza for $398. Hooked it up, and it works not bad on the Xbox… probably be better if I organise a desk or something to attach it to. Havent tried the New Forza yet, as I just started 6.
cheers
You've already got Forza 3?
Yes, I had it early, they let me take it home as long as I promised not to activate it before the release date , because the store was 160km away from home.
Ended up getting a new desk too, and then a new headset… Steering wheel and pedals works great once attached securely.
I cant believe the difference between a GOOD wheel and the cheap ones….
So much more accurate etc…. worth the money if you like driving.
cheers
That's awesome. I've only had a chance to use my wheel a couple of times but so far very impressed. For $398 it was definitely worth it!
Still tossing up between this and the "Thrustmaster TX Racing Wheel Ferrari 458 Italia Edition" from the other deal. Leaning more towards this one as a complete, beginner's race sim setup. Really like the idea of a clutch pedal and H-pattern 6 speed shifter. Also a progressive brake pedal which the TX set doesn't come with.
Been looking aroudn for a stand and found this one on ebay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Racing-Simulator-Steering-Wheel-S… looks good, anyone have experience with this?
I was looking at either a racing seat or the stand you linked. Decided I didn't want to spend too much as I wasn't sure if it'd get used a whole lot. Ended up buying one of these from OW - http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/kallis-stud…
It actually fits perfectly and it's pretty sturdy. Been using it quite a bit so will probably upgrade the stand eventually but it's good enough for now :)
Spend an extra hunjee and get a T300RS people. They're available from EB again as of late and are a real simulation wheel, these are toy like in comparison.
(I have owned 3 G29's and after the third breakdown I decided to refund and buy a T500RS, infinitely better and the 300 is apparently every bit as good)
