T2 for $99 at COMPUSA/ T2 Questions

COMPUSA has the T2 wheel/pedal combo on sale for $129, minus a $30 rebate, which is an instant rebate, not one that you have to mail in and wait and pray that it will even be sent to you. For someone's first venture into the wheel/pedal combo, isn't this a pretty decent deal? Is setup with GP2 difficult? Thanx, Bob Chalfin

Yes, it is a good deal, although Circuit City sells the T2 for $99 all year round, normal price. I picked one up for myself last Christmas and it has definitely been worth it. Works great with GP2 although you will have to give yourself a bit of time to adjust your driving style, you will most likely lose a few secs off your laptimes until you get used to the wheel, but the driving experience will be ten times better.

Yep. I got mine for $89 a few months ago, but $99 is a great deal. No it isn't. In my case I *needed* a TM-ACM game card though. The computer wouldn't boot without it. I guess the T2 was sucking too much voltage from my Ensoniq's gameport :-) Anyway with the ACM the T2 is great. Indycar2 & GP2 are both great. Actually it makes all the difference in the world. > Thanx, > Bob Chalfin

I bought mine there for $99 about 9 months ago... they are very good wheel/pedal combos. Setup with GP2 is *not* difficult, but it is cryptic- that is, you might need to ask us how to do it first time. But once you know what the game is looking for, it is a breeze, and you'll be very glad you bought it. If $99 is really just too much money for you, you could go for a Mad Catz for up to $40 less. I have one on my Playstation (to do F1 by Psygnosis- a must have for anybody who loves F1 sims), and I like the Mad Catz. Sure, people complain that it is "cheap", but frankly, so is the T2, when you look inside it. My Pots went on it very quickly, and they are not easy to change. If you don't want "cheap" you might be looking at $300 or more for a good wheel. So far, the Mad Catz has been great because of it's fantastic button arrangement- much more like a real F1 wheel than a T2, which has no buttons on the wheel.

T2 $69.99 Best Buy in Sun Dec 1 circular.

>T2 $69.99 Best Buy in Sun Dec 1 circular. WHY can't we have a Best Buy here? Or even better, why can't Office Depot carry the T2 since they will match competitors prices and give you 50% of the difference back???

The circular doesn't say T2 and it's not. It's the cheaper, non-pedal wheel on sale for $69.99. The T2 is still $109 at Best Buy.

I may be wrong (and I'm sure you'll all let me know if I am), but the T2 that I saw at Best Buy last night for that price was a Formula-type wheel that had the gas and brake set up as levers on either side of the steering wheel. I've also seen a T2 advertised at a similar price without the pedals (wheel only). Could this be what you saw?

But Best Buy will knock another $10 off their price if you tell them Circuit City is selling them for $99. I just bought mine at Best Buy in Whitemarsh, Md. on Friday & they gave it to me for $99...no questions asked. Make sure you get a sales clerk that knows what they're doing. The first clerk told me they were sold out. I was about to leave the store but decided to check it out for myself. I found one left on the top shelf. > The circular doesn't say T2 and it's not.

I went to Best Buy and demanded they sell me what they advertised, and they did 69.99. I told them I heard about it on the Internet and they almost shit:) mickey

a picture of a T2 w/no pedals for $69.99, you can see the stick shifter on side and everything but in the stores they are selling the GP for $69.95 and T2 for 109.99. Just bring in the ad and *** that the picture is of a T2 for 69.99, looks like they'll honor that.

Does anyone know where I can find an IRL carset for Indycar 2?

I've also seen a T2 advertised at a similar price : without the pedals (wheel only). Could this be what you saw? I've got the ad right here in front of me. The picture is of a T2 without the pedals. The wheel you're referring to is called the 'Grand Prix', which is essentially a T2 with wheel-mounted shifters(?) and no pedals. The ad also has a number underneath the picture (7964), presumably the stock number for the Grand Prix. But if you can bring in the ad and tell the manager "I want the wheel picured, at the advertised price" and walk out with a T2, more power to you. I'm sure going to try. :)

WHY?
