Sequential shifter? No clutch?

For a game that contains so many real-world vehicles, there's no excuse to endorse a wheel that doesn't include a H-Pattern shifter...

Please tell me GT5 is going to support the G25 (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/gaming/playstation_3/devices/131&cl=us,en)!

Looks cheap, no clutch, no proper gear stick.

Shite product.

Wow, pretty critical of wheels...

I'd enjoy one if I played more racers. Personally I never much cared for GT...

WTF? No cup holders? Figure for $149 it should have at least one cup holder.
