I had decided to get myself a Driving Force GT for the game, as I've never played a racer as much as I've played this, so it's well worth it now. I had an issue with my card though, so I was unable to order the wheel from play.com, now it appears to have disappeared. Same at Amazon as well. All branches of Argos are out of stock and GAME are out of stock as well. Sounds like there's a chance it's not going to be very easy to find from now on, although unless there's a successor at a similar price, surely they wouldn't discontinue it entirely? Maybe it'll become available again in the New Year. PC World didn't stock it - when I tried to buy, it said the item was unavailable.
Are there any other PC compatible wheels out there of a similar price and quality (brand new and from a proper retail company, so no Ebay please)? And if anyone living in London has suggestions of retailers that might have it, please post them here.
Many thanks.
Ah - now I'm seeing messages like this:
Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.
Sounds to me as if it's about to be discontinued. Damn it! I don't want to have to spend more than double this item's cost to get a decent wheel!
Is there any chance the next model up (G25?) could experience a bit of a price drop to 'fill the gap' left by the Driving Force GT - as a midrange steering wheel?
