So the ethernet port is only there for online gaming? What sort of prices are they going for now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a deal with the ps2, GT4 and a wheel for $299 at EB. I bought the wheel and GT4 for $170.It is worth every cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one for my PC and it makes driving so much more precise. Looks like I'm going to make a trip down to EB in the next couple of days pick one up.

If not, do you need those stupid memory card things to store saved games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
