Default PS3/360 Steering Wheels

I quite fancy getting a steering wheel for the consoles.

The question is, which one?

Now back in the day in bought a Mad Catz steering wheel to play the Original Gran Turismo and TOCA Touring Cars on the PS1, and I bought the Mad Catz one as it was Sony-approved and supposed to be the best on the market in its day, but it wasn't much cop at all really, was way too twitchy and didn't feel realistic at all and I soon ditched it in favour of the good old joypad, but looking at new ones, they seem to have come along a lot, is this right?

If so, what's the best on the market?

And is there one you can get that will work with both consoles? 'Cos I remember there were some multiple enders () that would plug into PC's and various consoles, but what are they now? Wireless? USB?

If not, I'll just have to buy 2 seperate ones, but whatever... which are the best ones for either console?

I have the logitech driveFX for the 360 and after a bit of practice i now can lap on pgr4 about 3-5 secs a lap quicker with the steering wheel.. even to the point of doing 10 laps with the wheel and 10 with the pad the wheel comes out on top for me..

Does that one work with 360 only?

How does it connect? USB or wireless?

Cheers for that

It certainly looks good, and reviews all seem top

Not sure if you can use the converter thaing that allows ps2 controlers to be used on ps3 could be worth a try as you never know

It plugs in the wall for the force feedback (when driving over rumple strips, crashes etc it fights you) and plugs into the 360 via the usb on the front

Works on the pc too but the force feedback dont ffs lol...

G25 IS the wheel for the pc though without a shadow of doubt!!

I've seen loads of those G25's on ebay now, all saying they work with PC, PS2 and PS3

hmm. Such a shame that the one wheel won't work with 360 as well 'cos I want the wheel mainly for GT5 Prologue as I think that game will really suit the wheel more than anything else, but I have more driving games in total on the 360 (Forza 2, PGR4, DiRT...)

Anyone got/used the official 360 wireless one?

I've been offered one pretty cheap, so could get that and the G25 for the PS3 if it's any good
