Porsche 911 Turbo S wheel for Xbox 360: Demo with Forza 2

[David0Karesh]

Hello Thomas

I have been emailing you for over 2 years now waiting for you to put Australia as an option on your webstore but instead you have handed it to greedy distributors that charge 3 times the retail price .

Why can you not give Australian customers/gamers the same pricing and fairness that any of your other customers get . Why can we not get it from you China to Australia direct as the rest of the world does so we do not have to get ripped off here in Australia ?

[sandman5171]

when is it gonna hit mass production? ... and how much for a unit?

[TheFred128]

you have to sell their products in Brazil? here in Brazil has many people with xbox360 and ps3 they would buy their products, the fact that their products are well made and have compatibility with the Xbox 360 is a great advantage over Logitech, because those guys were stupid and did g-27 not compatible with the Xbox 360.

[moneyboi50]

Could i please gat a discount i really need it

[reecieboii]

well can i have one for free too please :) see i can use manners tehe

[GreenKoldAid]

i am thinking of buying the whole set lulz shifter/clutch and wheel...

how much do u think this will run me??

[sasoritaiga]

Now, you just need some performance driving shoes. google Carrol Shelby Driving Shoes. They from a2zracergear

[xcalibre6]

I live in Australia, and it seems that we have no news on getting the wheel other than they may be retailing later on. I've asked around gamestores and no one knows. So, I'm going to Los Angeles on october 17 for 5 days. Is there any way I can buy one while im over there? Thanks!

[yippe]

you can already buy them here. they were for sale in dick smith a week or so ago. turbo s and it was $650

[lyonnaisbarca]

i haven't seen them but $650! a bit too much considering the turbo wheel is there in dicksmith for $360

[yippe]

these wheels are really shitty. They feel cheap and toy like. especially the gear shifters. the logitech g25/7 is ace, but its not available on 360 :(

[lyonnaisbarca]

good thing i got the ps3 :D> Most proffesional reviews says it makes the g25 look like a toy, but what im really afraid of is its durablity.. at the moment i have the dfgt and im planning to upgrade to those expensive wheels. if i buy one ill never buy anotehr one again, even if it breaks..(unless it last 3 or 4 years)......

[BettyBlowtorchRocks]

if you know someone in the us or europe you can order it off the online shop and have it send to them then they send it to you, thats what i did it's kinda expensive but it's pretty much the only way atm

[krille1e]

gona get this caouse the mirosoft whel sukz balls .... i wish the g25 coud work with ma 360 =(

[fastmike12]

I was very amazed on forza forums where they posted a video of a guy driving with the fanatec wheel and his words were 'The wheel feels so much different it is much better '.

[fastmike12]

I just bought the Porsche 911 Turbo s wheel US which is compatible for 360, PS3 and PC. I have a 360 and Ps3 so i was looking for something similar to multi platform support. So for a 329 you can't beat that price at all. Moreover i oredered a stand also with that. I can't wait for my item to be shipped in September :--).

[doyler0018]

Fanatec i am thinking about getting a wheel for the xbox and ps3 as yours is the only wheel on the market for both. i wanted to ask will the wheel last me for years and if a part breaks how long is it under warranty for?

[romel106]

can u send me one for free?

[Fanatec1]

Just one? What about your friends?

[romel106]

they all got one

[IFrostedFlakesI]

is the microsoft racing wheel as good as this or is this better?

[joshie9119]

@Fanatec1 ill take one! (for free)

[Seafury2004]

I have got to say, after looking at their web site, I'm not very happy with the layout. The info is not presented or sorted very well and the only saving feature is their comparison.

The web site says check the web store for ship dates on items, but to no avail. I'd like to know if I order a Porsche Turbo S Standard edition when would I expect it to ship. Will it be here on/before Forza 3?

Do all your pre-order production runs ship before Forza3?

[Fanatec1]

In th e webshop we say that we will ship in September

[Seafury2004]

Well since you seam to be confirming that ship date is true for all production lots...you've got another sale :-) thanks for the info...

[Brianmuuh]

Thats Porsche lol!

[R33GTR2008]

I have preorder today :-) Lets go Fanatec..I cant wait :-)

[MegaShot419]

Soooo, lets talk price here.

How much for this bad boy?

[GreenKoldAid]

id say around 150 ish and + stand(120) + Tax + blah blah crap = 300$

so id say save up around 400 bucks if ur waiting for forza 3 and u want this...

[MegaShot419]

Okay thanks.

I already have the Microsoft wheel but I want to upgrade to a wheel with a clutch with it.

I can't wait for Forza 3 :).

[Killer91109]

If youre talking canadain dollars ive done all kinds of research on this and the total price including EVERYTHING even duties is $481.75 canadian. start saving.

[dsrevo79]

something round that,,,i also include the rensport stand...damn clubsport pedal is too pricy...i drive an integra anyways so...

[dsrevo79]

im gonna buy clubsports edition,,,i cant resist the brake vibration feeling in my foot lol

[alyelo]

you think MS whell is better? you must be kidding, no way man, no way!!

[cuttheraceistheads]

is this out if so do you know were can i buy one from thanks

[alyelo]

not before september, its been delayed

[urmomfarturdaddied]

if the ms wheel had a shifter and a clutch pedal it would

[sannyf2000]

Are you planing to make a list of with game for xbox 360, and playstation 3? Like if it works on the game and how manny features it supports like clutch, 6 speed manual gearbox, 900 degree turning and so on.

It would be werry nice to know those things.

[samrulez14]

forza 3

[RCFourFive]

Does the final product have H-Hate shifter and clutch support for Forza 2?

It seems the one "controller" detail missing to make Forza2 really enjoyable, is the ability to be able to shift naturally with an H-Gate shifter for many cars.

[Fanatec1]

Not on Forza to but Forza 3 is coming very soon...

[maclover57]

do the clubsport paddle shifters come standered

[Fanatec1]

yes

[s2knott]

Hello sir, I have watched all of your videos and done my research and i believe that the 911 turbo S is your only wheel that is xbox and pc compatible but it does not come out for serveral months and there will be a very limited supply.

Is there any other recommendations or customization that can be done to a standard 911 Turbo Wheel to allow xbox compatibility?

[Fanatec1]

Due to licensing policies it is not possible to modify an existing wheel

[Gouger32]

I just ordered mine today (clubsport). Waiting unit June for mine is going to be a bit rough. I couldn't resist the clubsport pedals (so nice!). I have a question. Even though I use the wireless headset, where does the wired headset plug in? Thanks for the info, and if you want to ship my wheel a bit earlier, I won't mind ;)

[Fanatec1]

There will be a headset connector

[Daemonocracy]

Race Pro (which will be awesome) is a game for the hardcore so you may get away with such an outrageous price but Forza appeals to the massives and no way in hell will most Forza fans fork over that kind of cash. The price needs to be brought down, the product needs to be mass produced. The wheel should not cost more than the console.

[Fanatec1]

If you are looking for a cheap but good wheel then Microsoft is offering an excellent alternative. It will be very difficult to produce and sell this wheel below the 200 USD what it costs at the moment. You always get what you pay for. Believe me that playing Forza 2 with this wheel makes the game expierience completely different and superior to what it is now.

[Daemonocracy]

The MS wheel is pretty crummy to be honest.  But maybe I misunderstood, did you say your wheel retails for 200 USD? Because that is a reasonable price for a high end device like this. I was thinking 400.

[hassan3o7]

where will this wheel be selling? i dont see it in the uk yet

i herd its about £150 which is a lot for a wheel which is about double the price for the microsoft wheel

i hope the price goes down thats a bit unreasonable

oh one last thing are you the hardware developer???

[dehdjer]

So why make the PC version and the PS3 version unlimited and us Forza 2/Xbox 360 players get a wheel but very limited? Kinda unfair to us because that increases the price of the wheel due to its rarity and not all of us will get to experience this unique racing wheel.

[DirkvanDam]

I totaly agree to that!! i want that racing wheel! now the price is 459,95 euro!!

i hope the steering wheel will come out with the game race pro ore forza 3! than you can by the packed for about 200 - 270 euro?

it looks like the perfect wheel for the xbox 360! the origenel xbox racing wheel was broken 2 times.. i only drive with it.

I hope Fanatec realised it that many xbox Race lovers would want this wheel. please make a fair price so evryone can buy this wheel!

Greeting

Dirk van Dam

[dehdjer]

Wow 460 Euros? Fanatec is selling their wheels to us Americans for 450 dollars for the the Clubsport Edition. Euros or dollars, it's expensive either way and I don't see why Fanatec won't mass produce the 360 wheel and just make everyone happy. Everyone wins. We get the best available wheel for a fair price, Fanatec gets our loyalty, business and money.

[DirkvanDam]

yeah its now 460 euro (+- 500 Dollars) it getting expensiver normal price about 500 euro... it is to mutch...

to bad in dollars its cheaper... nice for you do!

[dehdjer]

hahaha cheaper but not cheap enough.

[niilartey]

hi guys, really thrilled about this wheel, just ordered the clubsport version from your website. i am highly anticipating Race Pro and this is wonderful addition.

Q: will you guys have the rFactor LED plugins incorporated into Race Pro, that would be freaking awesome if you did, i know you can. if not, can this come as an update later...(PLEASE say yes)

will be receiving wheel next year, cannot wait, keep up exceptional work

[bxstranger]

cool

[godale44]

bout time!

[maclover57]

wat is the difference between the fanatec 911 turbo wheel to the fanatec 911 turbo S wheel

[Fanatec1]

It is basically the additional Xbox360 compatibility and that the PWTS predals are wired instead of wireless

[tsampaola]

So if got it right, cause I just recently found about your products, you are gonna have 2 versions of the wheel? 1 for PC/PS3 and another for the 360??

If so, that kinda sucks for us that have a PC and a 360 :(

By the looks of it, i will stick with my Microsoft wheel on my 360 and probably buy only the PC version. I am just waiting to see what package you are gonna do with the Clubsport Pedals. BTW, are these gonna be compatible with both versions of the steering wheel??

[Rockmunky1990]

I think (correct me if i'm wrong, which is likely) that the one that works on the 360 also works on the PC and PS3.

[Fanatec1]

You are right. It is multi platform.

[biggnasty989]

You little German bastards, are always tinkering and making good shit. I expect this wheel at online retailers by the holidays. You little German guys rock!

[euro944t]

I hope Germany buys out the Big 3 auto makers. Maybe USA will have a reason to build better roads, which these SUV's ride over falling infrastructure no worry, while my 944T radiator gets thrashed by potholes.

[mateuszgosc]

900 wheel ... please
