You don't really understand veganism, do you?
The principle is to avoid using any products that use animals in any way - so that includes avoiding animal skin use on clothing, footwear, bags & in this case, gaming wheels.

Sorry Logitech never again.
There already is the T80, but from personal experience, you'll be faster using a pad.
Got to say Id rather stop playing (console) sims than replace my G25 when racing wheels cost more than the console they are compatible with. It just feels like a lot to spend just to replace when I could potentially use that elsewhere - its just not important enough to justify.
If Logitech dont provide backwards support that Ill stop supporting them (I have a lot of their stuff). Very little technically AFAIU that stops them providing that...

What's with the official G29 page system requirements mentioning Windows PC? Isn't it PS4/PS3 only? Guess it's just a mistake or bad copy/pasting from the G920 page?

Both new wheels will work on PC. Logi confirmed it.
On the product page, it says the G29 supports Windows 7/8/8.1 (but not Windows 10, really?), Playstation 4 and Playstation 3.
And lol at Sony PR muddying the water. All the PS wheels have been PC compatible, AFAIK, they don't give a fuck.
Eurogamer have confirmed it via Logitech.
I'd wait for people to review them before even considering preordering. I don't think they can justify the price compared to the Thrustmaster wheels.

I just got a brand new T300 for way less than that (212 pounds), that's a really bad price from Logitech and even worse without their rather terrible shifter.
The only reason to consider this is reliability.

It kinda pisses me off that because Logitech is much bigger and with more marketing money they will trick a bunch of people into buying their new overpriced wheel while there are much cheaper and much better wheels available on the market.
Guys please... Don't pay 400$+ for a god damn gear mechanism wheel... That's terrible value.

"The G29 starts shipping in July. "
Actually doesn't.
Logitech's own press release states that both will launch in October. Pro level fact-checking from EG.

Everyone had been waiting so anxiously for this wheel... and it's $400. Lol. Talk about taking the wind out of the sails.
For those wondering, Thrustmaster T300 is a much better value. Also, assuming this wheel is largely the same as the G27, yes, a Fanatec ClubSport Wheel V2 setup is worth 3 times the price.
Both TM and Fanatec give you the option to upgrade your setup as you go along.

So please tell me Thrustmaster T300rs or Logitech G29??

This. My DFGT is perfectly fine and collecting dust. A shame, that they probably won´t support it, even if they could (obviously to generate more revenue with the new wheel).
T300 all the way. A much better wheel with a LOT more options for upgrading later if you want (new rims and accessories) and it's actually cheaper.
Logitech is a fucking rip off.
T300RS.

Haven't done much research into the thrustmaster wheels as I didn't want to spend over $250, but are belt driven wheels better? More reliable?
Yeah much better. Not sure about reliability (I doubt it really changes anything) but it's a much smooth movement.

Oh come on, what's with these prices?!
I will not buy a fucking plastic controller that costs as much as the whole console. No.
Produce also something for the lower price range. But not shit like "hey, here's a 100 wheel but it has no FF LOL" which is the current situation on PS4.

If they don't support the DFGT then I'll just have to go with Fanatec, far better platform support and quality.

I honestly think that entry level FFB wheels are gone for good. The Xbox brand hasn't had one since the official Microsoft one that got discontinued years ago, and the Playstation hasn't had one since the DFGT. Which is also conveniently discontinued.
Right, so if I chuck on this wheel, will it become compatible with the 'Bone? Or do I have to stump up the dosh for a Fanatec?

I think T300RS is expensive because it doesn't comes with 3-Pedals (Only 2-Pedals) and add-on shifter cost £129.99 whereas Logitech shifter cost only £49.99 and comes with 3-Pedal.
T300RS is a better wheel but when you add add-on, it way expensive.

Neither of those have FFB.
Duh my bad... It's still early lol. I thought you were actually replying to another message.

I think I'll stick with my T500RS.
So will legacy Logitech wheels be getting PS4 compatibility now? I thought Logitech had left the market for this kind of thing.

Nobody knows but considering they are trying to sell new wheels, I doubt it.
lol, the animals will die either way, might as well honor the death and get some nice clothes. I can understand if you don't like the taste, but that's extreme

Getting a little off topic here, but if someone can't stand eating meat (whether due to taste or principal), you really think they wouldn't mind wrapping their hands around it on a wheel?

I have a G25 that I currently only use on the PC.
It sucks that it will never work with PS4 or Xbox One.
I don't really want to spend that amount of money on a new steering wheel when I already have one and it also isn't compatible with PS4 and Xbox One.

IIRC Fanatec is the only company that offers compatibility for both consoles with one wheel unit.

Won't buy it, that's for sure. If G27 ends up never being supported, I'm just gonna say bye bye to console racers this gen. My g27 is perfectly functional.
Could Logitech even make the G27 compatible if they wanted to? I remember reading that there's a chip inside the PS4 that prevents compatibility.

The red wheel with button in the middle and the +- buttons on the left could replace 4 way swipes on touch pad for real time setting adjustments if a certain game was using those.
Of course they could but this doesn't happen easily. The G29 is basically a reskin of the G25/27. I really hope someone could hacks the G29 drivers for ps4 to flash the old G's rom.

The T100 does and it is a great entry level wheel

The chip is for full functionality. Drivers can be added to make it work like the older thrusmaster wheels, Fanatec wheels or ps3 fight sticks work in limited capacity (won't work in menus). But doing so is mired in issues, one of which is the patents involved with the oler Logitech wheels. It's not the only issue but it's the one we know most about.
