The Logitech Driving Force Pro/GT or the G25/27 are all great steering wheels to use for such games. I have a Driving Force Pro and G25 and can't really complain about them. The DFP could use better pedals, or even a clutch but it is a great entry level wheel. The G25 is amazing for the price but could use a bigger steering wheel (to mimic the real thing) and a shifter with more resistance. Mounting the pedals inversely would also aid in a real life feeling.

I personally play Live For Speed S2 on the PC with a G25 and have been playing for 3+ years. I really do want to try out GT5, but that requires a PS3 which I don't have.

Sounds like the Driving Force GT is what I will end up asking for. I will probably also construct some sort of frame to mount the wheels and pedals. Unfortunately, my TV is mounted over my fireplace, so I will be looking up a bit at the screen. I wish I had a lower TV that I could scoot right up to for a more realistic experience.

Well, got GT5 and the Driving Force GT. Absolutely loving it. I can't even imagine playing this without the wheel and pedal set anymore. I have so much more control now. It makes you better at the game instantly. Thanks for the recommendation, Thunder.

I wish I had a wheel setup... regular controller just isn't that great for it. Yet I have many many more important things to spend money on first.

The wheel changes the entire complexity of the game, with a controller I can't even come close to my times with the wheel. But you're right, game wheels can't be a major priority in life they're a "nice to have".

I won't get GT5 for another month or two.
Can anybody here compare it to GT Prologue? Did they change anything or just expand on what was offered in GT Prologue?

It's very different from prologue. More cars, more tracks, better physics, online racing...

That's what I was hoping to hear.

Any opinion on the AI? That was my only complaint about Prologue. If the AI opponent bumps my car, I get penalized!? WTF?

I like the AI, I think it has an edge over Forza and Prologue. They are also releasing patches as needed which is good, there have been 2 so far I think, not including the new "seasonal races".

Are the patches automatically downloaded?

Also, what do you guys mean about being penalized when the AI opponent bumps your car?
