My fucking steering wheel just decided to break. I was playing NFS Shift (the Wild Horse track) and coming out of one of the hairpins, the wheel suddenly starts making weird noises and all the force feedback was gone, the wheel is completely limp. I can hear a motor whirring and I can here plastic rattling so I'm guessing one of the gears has broke.
The wheel is a Thrustmaster RGT Clutch. The wheel is only about 10 months old but I would be very surprised if they honoured the warranty as I'm sure they would claim it broke through violent/excessive use.
So the question is what to replace it with. I definitely want one that has a clutch pedal and obviously force feedback. It will mainly be used for PC on games such as Shift, LFS and RBR. However, it would also be nice to use it with GT5 when it comes out and also on the Xbox, although none really seem to be cross compliant apart from the Fanatec.
So basically should I get a G25/G27 or is it really worth spending the massive amount more for the Fanatec?
Edit: The belt had snapped, and taken one of it's guides with it. I have stuck it back together sans belt, but obviously the wheel now has no resistance whatsoever.
