Thrustmaster Racing Wheel for Xbox ONE

I am dissapoint.

$399.  No clutch pedal.  No shifter.  No buy?  If this is all they are offering for a new wheel they better make Fanatec wheels compatible or I will be saying goodbye to my favorite franchise for good :(.

EDIT: some new info has come out about this wheel since the last post in this thread.  First off here's an actual photo of the wheel:

Secondly it is based on the design of the Thrustmaster T500, so it should be a very nice wheel (this explains the price tag).  Still no word on whether there will be a clutch pedal and/or an H-shifter available but the rumor mill if saying the existing accesories for the T500 will work.  If this turns out to be true then Forza players will have access to one of the best setups on the market if they are willing to drop the cash.

Paddle Shifters are what you use in those types of Cars.

Indeed TC it is true that the Logitech G27 with it's H-pattern shifter, and clutch pedal - this is just one example of a superior wheel. Also, on such a superior wheel - I could choose to change gears clutchlessly using the paddles. 

The Ferrari insignia is probably one of the most expensive parts, and for a computer gaming device I'll take a Logitech insignia with a better feature set. 

If Microsoft/Turn10 announced full Logitech G27 support for Forza 5 - that would be fantastic. 

$400 American dollars for that wheel? Tell 'em he's dreamin'. 

Dumb stuff is dumb. My current wheel will work just fine on future PC racing games. Hopefully, it's supported in some PS4 games too. ShadowDeathX

Yes. I really want some news on Fanatec compatibility - hell the CSR wheel is Forza and Xbox branded.

Thrustmaster in general no, but the T500 RS is absolutely a quality product.

I've never understood investing in such high level equipment for console games.foxhound_fox

I guess it all depends on what you enjoy. My entire setup is still cheaper than a single weekend at the track. Not to mention a whole lot safer (which makes my wife happy).HadOne2Many

I was happy when I saw the thread. Then I came in and saw the insane price. :lol: :lol:

No one is going to buy that sh!t. Hopefully my XBox 360 steering wheel will be B/C with XBox One. I have no plans to spend another $100+ for a gaming wheel.

Great video man. Its kinda funny seeing the old setup with all the wires :), i think its a lot easier now. Do ya still need 3 xboxes for forza 4? I'm also a Forza fan (and GT). I hope they'll release a good wheel with H shifter, it would be a pity to give it up. I'm looking forward to see what's new, haven't heard a lot yet except Spa n P1. PS360Wii4eva

Most humans cannot operate a Manual transmission(especially in USA). Its freaking sad. If you are a MAN you MUST know how to drive stick. If not you are simply a eunich.

The One controller will do quite nicely with FM5 rumble triggers and all. :D

lol, i can't even imagine buying a racing wheel for a console.

unless you get an entire card table and a folding chair to set it up on it is a waste of time.

that wheel will be used 4 or 5 times then spend the next 10 years gathering dust in the bottom of a closet just like 99% of all console steering wheels that have ever sold do.

except neither have porsche, they have RUF cause EA wont share.darksusperia
