I am an Xbox guy now, used to be a PS guy but switched early on when I found Forza, and they had MKII Vws and corrados. I am using a Fanatec CSL elite setup, that would also work for the PS5. I started with madcatz and then thrustmaster, moved on to Logitech and settled on Fanatec's base model. Their base model is crazy good with brushless motors and 1080° steering and should become cheaper once they release their direct drive later this year. There is also stupid levels of upgrading possible that can make watch buying seem cheap. From hydraulic pedals and handbrakes to direct drive wheelbase. I have found then not to be necessary for the casual gamer, but have found their base equipment to be leaps and bounds better than what I was used to.

I do also have an older Fanatec setup for the xbox360 complete with wheels, pedals, and 6spd shifter as well as a Seperate up/down shifter. It was compatible with xbox360, PS3, PS4 and PC. There is a good chance it's compatible with PS5 as well since Sony said the old stuff would work. If you want to give it a shot, you can have at it bud. I may be missing one or two cables, but those can easily be sourced. It's just sitting in storage unloved.

Dang, that's one hell of progression! I'm definitely a casual gamer and I don't see that changing with life, kids, work, etc. I'll take you up on the fanatec offer.

I've been an Xbox fanboi since the very first Xbox. When the 360 came out I completely modded the OG into a retro gaming machine. I wish I still had it.

I'm still on the hunt for a Series X or Series S, and I hope to get one before Forza Horizon 5 comes out. I love all the Forza series, but there is something about cruising around an open map, listening to some tunes (or just the engines) that I find really relaxing.

I wouldn't mind picking up a wheel/pedal setup either.

I had a PS1 and PS2 then had a Xbox 360. Haven't had a console since then other than the switch I just picked up. That's basically my son's though.

I really want to play the Final Fantasy remake and that was the main motivator. Stoked about racing games. I texted my brother-in-law and he was jealous. He said he gave up trying to get a PS5; guess I just got lucky. He has the Fanatec CSL Elite set up with VR headset. He said its unreal and I'm going to try it out. Here's to another money suck!

Oh, and a watch. Too many posts without one.

[emoji817]. While I love some legit Sims, Horizon has a great balance of semi-SIM handling (if you want it) and a glorious open world of car fun. By far my favorite racing series. Sometimes I just want to jam out to some EDM and 12k RPM soundtrack and only horizon can provide that. Really looking forward to driving on the right side of the road next iteration though. Not gonna lie.

Edit: I too am starting to get pissed about not being able to get a series X. I just refuse to pay over retail though. Hopefully soon my brother. Soon.

And my Tool Watch Tuesday compliant watch. Tried to add a Cyclops to the Nereus to highlight that kick ass roulette date wheel. Its also rocking an SKX013 jubilee because it's just Rattly enough and pretty enough to be perfect.

Breezing through the Walmart electronics section this morning while picking up TP and what do I find? A single Series S sitting on the self.

It's now in my living room waiting to be set up. :D

And now a watch so I don't keep derailing this thread. :lol:

Lots of wildcards today. Not quite as dope as that frogger setup though Sussa, and I am jealous of your Xbox pickup Matt. I am still kicking myself for not pre ordering. Anyways, on to my wildcards with some bonus carnivore compliance.

If it can handle being modded by my clumsy self, it must be tough enough for compliance.
