I would never have bought the PS3 if my wheel didn't work with it. I really can't
imagine driving with a controller... though I guess with all the aids dialled up it
must be fairly pleasant otherwise so people people wouldn't do it.

It can be like that in iRacing too. :-) Not often though, admittedly. But I know
exactly what you mean, and that's why I've always preferred racing AI to people.
Less stress, less drama, and I suppose much less rewarding too. But when you're as
slow as I tend to be the only rewards are in my imagination anyway. :->
