I've been on the fence about getting one of these, but finally decided to do so after seeing this good deal. Amazon right now is closer to $400, but decided to compare prices on google and found this instead.
Standard shipping is free, fast option is $25, which still makes it a "good" deal. No xbox option for this, sorry guys. XBOX EDIT: (cool guy in the comments has a method that makes this Xbox compatible as well - *Drive Hub by Collective Minds* - research it?)
Total price with standard shipping came out to
$368.04 for me.
Official store.
Free 30 day returns.
I think it is objectively better then the G29 or a cheaper Thrustmaster (T248), because you can upgrade the wheel (if you want) to something else (a few options) as you grow in your sim racing. Also, the optional gated manual shifter looks great. Logi has noise issues too, look it up. Not super knowledgeable outside of this, so I will not pretend to be. I do still think it's a good deal and it will work for me.
Others mention the Moza R5 kit, but that pedal system does not include a clutch pedal. +$200 at this current price, and no clutch?

Also, if you are interested in getting it to work with any Xbox One or Series X/S, I would get the Drive Hub by Collective Minds. I've had zero issues with it using after updating the firmware upon arrival.

I went from Moza R5 kit to TM T248. I like the pedals on the T248 better honestly, although the DD R5 wheel base obviously feels much better. Not sure if pedals that come on the T300RS are different from T248 but they look the same.

Note that I don't REALLY know what I'm talking about and this has all been gathered as I've been waiting on a sale for this particular wheel. It'll be a substantial upgrade over the ancient Sidewinder FFB wheel I was using, so while I'd probably go with the Moza for $100 more, I'm already stretching my budget with this wheel
T248 has the T3PM pedals vs the T300's T3PA. I think(?) they're the same pedals but with hall effect sensors on the T3PM instead of the older potentiometers, The Moza pedals use load cells, so they should offer a lot more precise feedback (but personal preference comes into play too). The pedals are generally regarded as the weakest part of the T300RS GT, though still a substantial upgrade over the non-GT.

The Moza R5 bundle comes with the SRP Lite pedals which use hall effect sensor instead of load cell like on the upgrade SRP pedal. You're correct that T248 comes with T3PM (magnetic) pedals. It looks like only the GT version of the T300RS comes with T3PA, not sure what model pedal comes with non-GT version but its only 2-pedal..

There's another huge benefit to the Drive Hub - you can start to mix and match equipment. I plan to swap to Fanatec CSL Elite V2 pedals, CSL DD, etc. I don't like the Thrustmaster wheels which are kinda pricey and the Fanatec pedals seem just a bit better.
