Playseat Evolution Black Alcantara/Black Frame (Xbox 360/PS3/PS2/PC)

I didnt pay anywhere near this price for the seat as this is very over priced. the chair itself is very good and stable and surprisingly comfortable. Would have been nice if it actually came with the gear shift holder and seat slider especially for this price. Well worth investing in the slider though as this makes it alot easier to adjust. The gear shift holder is also very good and easy to adjust to suit. Overall I'd say this makes driving games alot more fun and realistic. Beware though as its actually a large piece of kit and will take up alot of space in a small room. Works really well with the Logitech G25 wheel as all the holes are pre-cut and very easy to fit. Would have been nice if the section that holds the pedals was a bit firmer as it has alot of give in it and feels sometimes if youre heavy on the brake that it bends quite alot. I'm sure it wont actually get damaged but its a little off puting. All that said though if youre thinking of getting one then dont hesitate as its an excellent seat. Maybe hunt about for a cheaper one though

I bought this to use with both PS3 Logitech Driving Force GT Steering Wheel and the Official Xbox Wireless Wheel. The former attaches with no problem using the table clamps that are part of the wheel, the pedals remain in place without the need for the supplied velcro. Note the screws supplied for the pedals do not support this Logitech Wheel. I choose not to use the velcro so that I can easily swap the wheel over, but it would add additional support if needed. The Xbox wheel does not clamp to the Playseat, it can be fastened with Velcro or you can purchase the Adapter Kit, which I did and works well, more on that later. The pedals again fit neatly without the need for velcro.The seat 'construction' out of the box was very straight forward. The Playseat itself is very strong and easily accommodates my frame 6 foot 3 inches 14st(+) and is easily adapted to other sizes, note that the pedal shelf cannot be angled either up or down, it's in a fixed position, but this in my opinion is not an issue. I luckily sourced the seat direct from Amazon UK for £245.10 inc P&P, which is still a lot but less than Playseat £309 + £28 P&P, but I would still consider it a bit of a luxury! Having previously used the Xbox wheel on my lap this new set up is a pleasure to use.The Xbox Adapter Kit is difficult to source I would not recommend Playseat as they charge £30 + £15pp which for two pieces of metal approx 4 inches by 2 inches is just unbelievable, they should be supplied as standard given the cost of the item. I found the Kit on Amazon.com which proved cheaper than Playseat, even with overseas delivery and taxes. The instructions for the item are not well written and it's a bit of a puzzle to sort out, but they do support the wheel well.

badly needed something like this as i was struggling to complete GT5 Special Events in the Sabastian Vettal challenge.as anybody who has tried to play this it's just about impossible to drive his named car with a hand held controller.so out from the dusty box(3 years!) my steering wheel and pedals came and were affixed to this Playseat Alcantara Frame.wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!what a world of difference what a change!sheer delight and lots and lots of fun (and success)this simulator delivers, feels great to drive and very comfortable even after too many hours of continuous play.you can really throw your car/wheel around, even violently!, and the simulator takes it all.very sturdy design and very well made. well worth investing.one note of caution though for all you F1 fanatics this Playseat Alcantara Frame won't allow you to assume an F1 position,the chair's position is just too high up to allow for this, which is a pity but doesn't stop the enjoyment of using it.i also purchased the seat slider with this, but since it's mostly just me using it, it's not really necessary.overall i'am more than happy to have bought this baby!

I'm a avid sim racer(iracing/rfactor) looking for a comfy seat, this was perfect and supported my wheel and pedals solid. Some people will tell you to avoid setups that have a centre post to support you wheel as it gets in the way of you feet while driving but I found this not to be a problems. The box it all came in was very small and I found the way that the chair folds in half to be very helpful when tidying up. The Price I paid on amazon was cheaper than some people are selling them for on ebay so I'm very happy and the postage/service was great.The only fault that I have is that the paint on the frame is very soft and will scratch.

Love it. Had this about 3 years now.Use it with my old genuine xbox 360 wheel and pedals. Built it in an hour.Still works like it did on day one.Sturdy, comfortable, fully adjustable.I have the optional seat slide which is so cool and useful when I have mates over.Seat folds in half and locks when upright if desired.It makes playing racing games with the wheel perfect, it makes it a racing sim.My mates love it and I love it.And I still use it regularly.5 stars absolutely

My son loves this chair and it gives an extra seat when friends are over. They take turns playing multi player racing games. He also got the slider which is a must to go with the seat.

well the image on amazon described this item very well, however sitting on it & fitting the Logitech force feedback wheel on it was pretty good, this made both items a perfect fit for anyone who loves racing on a simulator.RecommendedAhmad

This seat is very well made and robust. It adds a whole new level of immesion to racing games particularely GT5. I don't know if it's coincidental but after getting this seat I ended up buying a rather sporty car in real life.
