Standard T300. Count the pedals.

T150 pro. Count the pedals.

The 150 pro has more. Because it comes with the T3PA pedals while the standard t300 doesn't, which makes it a fantastic deal as a starter setup, precisely because you can just upgrade the wheel later and keep the pedals

A couple of things to keep in mind about budget wheels like the one you linked, based on my experience:

- no force feedback, which is a bummer.
- very limited rotation (this one rotates 90` either side, while a good wheel rotates at least 270` or more) - this affects gameplay a lot as your handling is going to be very twitchy - important if you're going to be playing a sim racer.
- steering isn't smooth and rotation-resistance can be a pain, literally.

You can really go ahead and get it if you want to, it'll be fun and more immersive than using a controller. It should be fine for NFS, Forza Horizon, or even F1.

However, I wouldn't recommend it for any proper racing sim such as Project Cars, AC, GT, or even FM7 due to the precision required in those games. If you really want a wheel setup, I'd suggest saving up and getting something like the Thrustmaster T150 PRO which usually goes on sale for around 13.5k INR because it has almost all the best features of a proper racing wheel. Or consider getting a good controller - I use an Xbox One controller for Forza, F1 and it is good enough and more precise than an entry level wheel.

I'd say the T150 is your best bet. I'm not sure if you're in the US or how the price would change depending on region, but the T150 Pro is on sale for $220. Comes with the T3PA pedals instead of the regular two-pedal board, it's great if you plan on using the TH8A shifter with your wheel. If not, the regular T150 and a DIY brake mod should do the job just nicely.

Yes, F1 2019 is perfectly fine for beginners as it's the perfect combination of Sim and Arcade game.

If you can afford it, pick up the Thrustmaster T150. It's a perfect beginner wheel and has everything you need such as pretty decent FFB and paddle shifters. I used it myself for a while and I'll always stand by it.

Mine showed for $159 at Walmart. I put in for a price match at Amazon this morning and it looks like they already dropped the price.

I was just going off of Amazon prices when I made my post. To get the T150 with the T3PA pedals you're going to be spending $319, https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Feedback-3-Pedal-Progressive-Resistance-PlayStation/dp/B06XP1JZ53/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1500501698&sr=1-2&keywords=t150+pro . Although after your comment I looked it up and Gamestop does appear to be selling T150 Pro sets for $250. http://www.gamestop.com/accessories/thrustmaster-t150-pro-limited-edition-racing-wheel-only-at-gamestop/131351

For the g29 you're going to be spending $265. https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Driving-Force-Racing-PlayStation/dp/B00Z0UWWYC/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1500501761&sr=1-1&keywords=g29

So in that case it just comes down to whichever wheel you prefer. People say the T150 has better feel, I've never used one so I honestly don't know. But I know Logitech has a better reputation when it comes to their wheel's longevity, and their warranty is good for an extra year over the Thrustmaster (once again, if you live in the EU though you're going to be getting a 2 year warranty on both because of their consumer protection laws.) I live in the US though and the 2 year warranty is what really made me go from wanting to buy the T150, to actually buying the g29. If I'm spending that much money on something I want to make sure that it lasts for as long as possible, and the warranty makes sure that at the very least least I'm getting 2 years of trouble free usage out of it. And for real, the g29 really does feel good, I mean the g25/27 was the standard wheel for enthusiasts for years. The technology may be old, but it's tried and tested, and it works well, just not as well as a belt system.

Actually a good price for the T150 Pro, it's at $175 with the promo code and CamelCamelCamel has the lowest price on Amazon at $199.99.

That being said, from what I've read the T300 is a considerable upgrade to the T150. Much better force feedback and the wheel on the T150 isn't interchangeable. Could be a good purchase depending on how hardcore of a sim rig you want.

I assume instead of GTE you mean the T300 RS GT Edition.

This is the T300 RS GTE, and $400 is not a good price for it.

The difference is the GT Edition has better pedals than the GTE.

re: The T150. There is the Pro version that has the 3 pedal set, but it's currently unavailable on Amazon.

You can also get a separate 3 pedal set like the T3PA, or some refurbished G27 Pedals and the Leo Bodnar Adapter.

For a budget first-time wheel, maybe look second-hand? The G29 is mechanically exactly the same as the G27, and the G27 can normally be picked up for c. $200 or less second-hand.

Also bear in mind, the G29 does not come with a shifter, but the G27 does. If you want a shifter for the G29 you'll need to spend probably a minimum of c. $60 for the Logitech Shifter. However, the Logitech Shifter is pretty shit, so you might be better off getting at least the TH8A.

What's he difference between the G29, T150 and T300?

If you're comparing all the 3 pedal set versions, then the pedals are all virtually equal.

The difference is mainly FFB.

The G29 FFB is fine, but has a noticable deadzone at the top and can sometime feel a little bit notchy.

The T300 FFB is smoother, faster, stronger and quieter than the G29 and has virtually no deadzone. It's significantly better, but maybe not $150 better (depends on what it's worth to you).

I've been told the T150 FFB is somewhat between the G29 and T300, but I've not tried it myself.

You could go with T150 Pro. It goes for $312 on amazon.ca now - link here

If you want to buy a new one, then probably the T150+T3PA set fits exactly in your limit. The pedals are really worth it compared to the stock pedals that come with the regular T150.

You could also try to keep an eye on a used T300 or T500 that might sell around this price range.

the T150 is the same wheel, that's the pro model, for $199, so cheaper than the TMX even though it's literally the same wheel.

I think it is. From what I've read the pedals of the G29 are 100x better. I found the G29 for $199 and the best I've found with the Thrustmaster 150 Pro (medal pedals) was $202, the regular t150 with the plastic pedals is $149.

This is a solid deal. I bought this with stock pedals for the same price a year ago. Those pedals are worth ~$100 alone. https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-T150-PRO-Racing-Wheel-PlayStation/dp/B06XP1JZ53

Dirt Rally is about as awesome as it comes IMO. I f'ing LOVE that game. Be prepared though...if you get a steering wheel and a seat, you're looking at around 400-600 bucks.
