...but if I was ever to use it, it might be when waiting to get my hands on Gran Turismo 4 and a Logitech Pro wheel. I saw a deal for the game and wheel for $130 + shipping, and after regaining control of my excretory system, I opted not to buy. I'd love nothing more than to play this with a steering wheel and pedals (maybe learn how to drive stick) and an HDTV in 5.1, but the $180 my mp3 player cost, the $289 heating bill, and that horrible red font in my bank account all point to no.

To give you an idea how much I want this, I know for a fact that every major electronics retailer within a 20 mile radius of my home will not let you take the equipment out of the box to play with it (even if you ask nicely and promise not to break or steal it). Anyone that can relate personal experiences similar to the one I'm hoping for, please post them. Yes, they will be used for my personal gratification, but it will help me in refraining from rash decisions and hasty purchases.
