Hi,
I would like to hear your opinion regarding a steering wheel purchase.
I have a PC and a PS3 with very very little usage. I also have an old logitech force feedback whell, with around 20-25 years, drivers are non existent for new windows versions and to make it work I had to find some compatible ones. So even though I like racing games, I don't play them often.
Now I'm thinking about changing it, so I was thinking about the following ones:
Now from what I've seen on reviews, thrustmaster seems to be a bit better because it has a different force feedback mechanism, which makes it stronger but may overheat at some point (depending of the usage, of course).
The logitech has some "leather" type wheel, but frankly, I think the rubberized type of thrustmaster and it's darker presentation has a more practical and a more hardcore racing effect.
It also seems the logitech has some dead zone at the center, which enthusiasts say it's a "no-go" for this wheel.
The price diference between them are not that big, but I was whiling to way a bit and give the extra cash for the thrustmaster (the GT if possible). I need to upgrade my graphics card anyway, since my good card stopped working and I replaced with a 30€ card just to put the computer in working condition (I don't believe this card is good for gaming). So did not need to rush anyway.
BUT ... and there's always a but ... the logitech G29 is at 170€ at the moment ... even if I think about a possible 320€ from the thrustmaster GT, it's a 150€ difference.
So I need your opinion on these wheels, on this choice of purchase, whether if you have any experience with them or not.
Any opinion will count.
Thanks in advance.

- Logitech G29 - 300€ with a promotion at this time for 170€
- Thrustmaster T300 RS GT Edition - 350€ with no promotion at this time, but one will come for 320€
- Thrustmaster T300 RS - 310€ with no promotion at this time (same as GT but with 2 pedals instead of 3)
