Nice that includes some analogs. I've seen some people complain that it's practically impossible to create liveries without it.

700 without load cell or the boost kit seems like a lot.
I personally would have liked a load cell without the boost kit bundle.

Does this have the "Depth Feedback" function the Thrustmaster T-GT wheel had? Some people felt it was gimmicky but for me driving without it felt empty and lifeless.
I only see them using the term force feedback, which I'm pretty sure isn't the same thing as the depth feedback on the T-GT.

I've been meaning to get a racing wheel setup for a while now and... this looks exactly like what I would want. The one thing is that I'm not sure where I would mount the thing. 🤔
It seems like they have an interesting workaround for platform lockouts -- the wheel bases can be licensed for Playstation consoles, the steering wheels can be licensed for Xbox consoles. So if you have a Sony-approved wheelbase and a Microsoft-approved steering wheel, you can use the setup on both consoles (and PC, obviously).
If you look up equivalent-ish parts on their site, the pricing comes out to be the same (and that's not even accounting for having to pay those Sony licensing dollerydoos). It's definitely not cheap, but a belt drive wheel setup is going to run $300-400 new as it is and this is the next upgrade from that. They are also offering a wheel set+load pedal upgrade+drive upgrade bundle for $850 (which is a fair bit cheaper than buying the upgrades separately).
Good question, I assumed they would put dual sense haptics in the wheel grips, but maybe that's not the case. Would be a bummer if there were no rumble haptics.
Still got mine. And I thought that was expensive. These things get more expensive with ever gt game....
Direct drive wheels have always been expensive, wheels like the DFGT are belt driven.
The old GT-specific wheel was also $700 and it wasn't DD and was made by Thrustmaster.
The CSL DD is an excellent wheelbase. Well worth the price for direct drive. The dumb boost kit is basically a requirement though, and hilariously is just the old CSL Elite power supply with a different plug on the end.
Shit, penny drops. So I suppose as I'm just getting into this I should just get the basic preorder- and then a frame to go with it.
I have a Logitech G29 but I'm not that happy with it. It's my first real racing wheel and the gear system is not great feeling. It's feels grindy, and the leather wheel feels like very low quality leather. But then I see the cost of something that would actually feel a lot better like this, which is like three times the cost, and yeah, can't do that unfortunately.
Definitely getting one of these. Been saving for a while to go all out with a full racing rig in anticipation of gt7. Can't wait!
This type of vibration is not necessary when there is a direct drive motor at its core. Direct Drive means you will get the clearest and purest of signals directly through the steering shaft (something that is lost in belt or gear-driven mechanisms of previous Gran Turismo wheels).
Honestly your right the price isn't bad for what you get, I still wish there was a kit that gave you the load cell brake without the 8nm boost kit for say 800 bucks but I will still be preordering the big bundle, can't wait for GT7 in March.
Is the mounting compatible with the Wheelstand Pro? I have the one for Logitech Wheels…
Damn! Gonna with the most expensive one as I'm building a full rig at the moment.
What time zone are we talking about when the pre-orders open up?

what is a load cell?
boost kit is what increases the force, right?
*glances at tag*
Which do you recommend? Or, is the upgraded version worth the price of admission?
They have a countdown timer on the official site. 1 day and 14 hours from now.
Price is reasonable, basically the same if you pick up parts individually, plus you'll get that special edition wheel.
That being said, if you are somewhat serious about simracing (and Fanatec means you are), PC is the best choice as you can mix and match parts. PS5 will have only GT7, and they can even port it to PC down the line, so if anybody is thinking and has a good PC, I would recommend that route.

Yeah, I think all peripherals are PC compatible. I meant things like 3rd-party shifters and handbrakes mostly, or if you decide to upgrade pedals down the line to something non-Fanatec.
Moreover, this wheelbase is Xbox-compatible, so if you get a compatible wheel (just the rim), it will work there too. But it is PITA to be constrained like that, imo.
