US, October 25, 2007 - A sneak peak at the ultimate racing sim is on the way for Japanese PS3 owners in early December as Sony releases Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. While the game will be available both as a PlayStation Store download and through standard retail channels, those who want the true driving experience will have to go with the more traditional of the two purchase options, and also pick up Logicool's new steering peripheral in the process.

 

Coinciding with the 12/13 release of Prologue, Logicool (that's what they call Logitech over in Japan) announced today that it will release the G25 Racing Wheel steering controller for the PS3. The deluxe control set includes a steering column, a shift lever and a pedal unit.

 

If you thought the GT Force Pro delivered the ultimate realism, check out this profile. The wheel is 27.5cm, larger by 2.5 cm than the GT Force Pro. It delivers a true 900 degree turning radius and force feedback via two motors. The shift lever offers six speed manual. The pedal set unit includes pedals for acceleration, break and clutch.

 

Those who still like to use buttons for some controls aren't being overlooked. The wheel has the four action buttons with the shift lever unit having eight buttons and a d-pad.

 

As expected, all this realism will come at a price. Logicool is asking 37,800 yen [uS $330] for the set. If you have the cash, be sure and pick one up when it launches on 12/13 opposite GT5 Prologue.

well you can always sell your ps3 to buy the wheel and try playing the gt5 disc in your 360 ;)

The easier way would be to sell your 360, buy the wheel and play GT5 on PS3, since GT series by PD usually runs better on Playstation console :dance:

I just downloaded the demo from PSN and saw that the L1 button was used for the clutch. I then connected my G25 and restarted the game and quickly swapped the transmission setting to manual-clutch and started a grip race. I put my h-shifter into 1st and stepped on the gas and clutch and low and behold when the race started I went no where. I found that the game supports the h-shifter and the clutch so it will be the first playstation title I know of that supports this feature.
