At $400 (the price of a PlayStation 4 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/14/sony-playstation-4-review/)!) it's far beyond an impulse buy and demands you're taking every aspect of your living room racing experience Very Seriously. That's something I discovered when the company sent me a demo unit to try.
You see, at Casa de Seppala, my couch sits about 6 feet from my 65-inch TV (http://www.engadget.com/discuss/why-i-bought-a-1080p-plasma-instead-of-a-4k-led-lcd-1nl6/). In between those two are an area rug and a coffee table I got for $75 on Craigslist. It's an awesome setup for movies and every other game I've played, but when it came time to put the T300RS through its paces, I couldn't figure out if the wheel was ill-suited to my space or vice versa.
