Can anyone recommend a steering wheel (and pedals) for around the £50 mark?
Although the PS2 joypad is alright, it's not great! I think it's the one thing holding me back in LFS :P

I do wonder though...... When GT4 comes out I will probably want a wheel for my PS2 as well.

I don't supose there is some sort of adaptor to let you use PC hardware on the PS2??
I picked up an adaptor from Play.com to enable me to use the PS2 joypad on the PC so I suppose the obvious choice would be to get a PS2 wheel and drive my troubles away.

2 things with that though.

Never really been that impressed with the Analogue PS2 sticks when used on a PC (and don't want to find the wheel ports across oddly too)

I assume that PC wheels will be far better than the PS2 wheels

Any thoughts guys?

Logitech MOMO is the best but costs around 70-80.

New someone was going to mention that so had a look beforehand.
ebuyer doing it for £68.
Don't want to spend that if I'm going to be buying another in Q1 2005 :P
Don't suppose you can get wheels that are designed for both formats?

cheers.
After a quick look round it appears most PS2 wheels actually use a USB connection and the logitech ones apparently work just as well on PC.

Some pc wheels do work on Ps2 but only limited ones and functionality.
It works much better the other way round
