Logitech G920 Dual-Motor Driving Force Racing Wheel w/ Pedals (Xbox One, PC) Expired

If you've settled on getting this wheel and If you're playing on PC only or on PC + Playstation, get the G29 instead for around the same price, it is the same wheel but has more buttons.

If you could wait and want something that slots in the mid tier then go for Fanatec CSL DD, the whole setup at minimum will be around $600. It is their newest entry level direct drive base, vastly superior and upgradable than the belt driven G920/G29 (Nothing against them, for us beginners they are perfectly adequate, but chances are if you get into sim racing then soon you'll long for greater performance). I am in the same boat and wish to buy my first racing sim setup, and I have decided to wait for the CSL DD setup to be available later this year (expected ship date is Q3 of this year)

He mentioned Daytona USA, so not sure he will get into sim racing. 😀

Thanks that does look fancy. Maybe I am a true beginner and should start with the total beginner package then just upgrade later if I think I like it.

When you say "the whole setup" is $600 is that just the "base" + wheel + pedals + shifter right? If I wanted fancy platform I'd still need to buy the racing seat? (do I even need a racing seat?)

What is your entire setup now? How long have you been in it for. you wish you would have just gone with the better one up front? or is it better to start at lower level first?
(edit) Oh I misread your post. Do you have anything right now? Just using standard xbox/ps controller? or you have a super entry level wheel?

I used to own the G29, bought at $300 with a clutch, with a nice $300 very solid racing wheel stand, and I will say this. If you are interested in going down the racing wheel road, first buy the wheel and maybe a decent $100 wheel stand. Play for a few days or weeks. See if the novelty wears off. See what games support your wheel. See how much time you spend using it. If you are still all in, return the stand and go for something more durable or comfortable. For me, it wore off. Having spent $600, I would have to play only racing games in my huge backlog during the only time I have after work for me to get my values worth, or so that's how I think. That is the one thing I didn't consider, that I would have to let racing games take over my game time or else I see it as a $600 item sitting in a corner. I know games have driving aspects, but it was too much of a hassle for me and also I don't like using a wheel in third person for those games that don't support first person views. Ultimately, I spent more time trying to customize the force feedback perfectly in the rabbit hole that is Project Cars 1 settings and also the fact that not all games supported such a known wheel brand like Logitech in games like The Crew, that I just had a bad taste in my mouth with the thought of having spent so much on what I saw at the time was just another way to control games. Your experience may vary, so please that's why I say start with a wheel first and get your feet wet. You don't need to perform a Christmas shopping list in June and get a racing seat outright. Also I will say that my brother eventually upgraded to a Thrustmaster after giving him my wheel stand and when I tried it out, I enjoyed it being belt driven as opposed to the loud ass clanky gear driven G29. TM was more though at the time so there is that. Finally, I will say that VR, with a complete setup, will be quite the amazing experience.

Great thanks! Perfect insight. I can see how it's an expensive hobby and I shouldnt dive too deep on my first try. I've been doing a lot of reading and youtubing the past few days after this deal.

The one that keeps coming up is Logitech's gears vs belt like with Thrustmaster. Would you think it's worth spending a bit more to get Thrustmaster? Or is this deal just too good a deal to pass up? I assume BF will have deals, I could probably wait till then too.

Do you have a recommended "starter" stand? which stand did you get?

Another thing I need to look into is games. Are the games fun enough single player or online play is where it's at? And are the online games "included" in the price or subscription based? I read iracing is the "final level" so I probably wont get there at anytime. I dont want to shell out an additional $10/mo+ . Is that a reason why you stopped playing or it was just not enough free time in the week?

How much better is the T30RS GT compared to this wheel? I've been debating between the 2
