Logitech G27 Racing Wheel for Playstation 3, 2, and PC

Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Accessories, Peripherals, Video Games

Logitech keeps doing a lot of cool things with its webcams and their Unifying Receiver and whatnot.  The latest trick up their sleeve is an upgrade to the G25 Racing Wheel, with the G27.  This one has a shift-indicator telling you when to go up or down a gear, and six programmable buttons (three on each side of the wheel.)  It is good for PS3, PS2, and Windows games. You can pick one up for $300, and they’re available for pre-order on Amazon.

Driving Force Goes Past “Playing Games”

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, Video Games

Logitech has launched its Driving Force GT Racing Wheel aka the “official wheel” of Grand Turismo. It has a 24-position real-time adjustment dial for brakes, traction, and damper settings. We love the enthusiasm shown by PR person Ruben Mookerjee, “With the Logitech Driving Force GT, you’re not playing games anymore – you’re racing!”

The 11-inch wheel has an illuminated, audible horn button with GT logo and cant turn 900º. Specifically designed for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on PS3, which debuts on April 17, the wheel itself will become available in May for $149.00.
