I am really curious to see how the new Fanatec Base will work on XBOX ONE, since the new XBOX is the only platform which sends driving and racing impulses how they are meant to be directly to the steering wheel, everything else is just a simulation of the simulation.
PS. MS has confirmed as I heard from a reliable source
I Hope I receive one early I am in the alpha/betas of a few racing games atm and I've been wanting to upgrade to something better than my GT2 for a while. This+ oculus rift mmmmm. I will need to get a poper racing seat and stand.
I'd say the durability improvement and the increased accuracy/feel are both equally the biggest reasons I want to upgrade to the new base. It's also sweet that this one has the ability to work with both consoles if you need it to.
Agreed with Sven, durability is without a doubt the importantest feature. I never had a Fanatec Wheel, but i really want to buy the entire set with the BMW and the F1 rims, so I hope to be selected for the invitation. Good Luck to everybody.
To be honest , the way I look at it is that every NEW feature is equally HOT & IMPRESSIVE !!! When you have a V2 product arrive you expect improvement(s) , but it is rare to see the list of improvement(s) this Impressive !!!
Great engeering next gen console still pc quick release rims going to buy invite or not and I want clubsport pedals v2 handbrake as well as gear stick going to be expensive but worth every penny
After the release of the new wheel rims, and owing a CSR-E, I was thinking that Fanatec have just outgrown their wheel base (though some debate that they had already done so right from the start with the BMW Rim ). From the discription of the new features, the new base ticks all the right boxes and for me really proves Fanatecs sim-racing pedigree. I'm sure many are hard pressed to choose one feature over another (except console compatibily, I can leave that for last, I bought the CSR-E but don't even own an Xbox ). BUT, since we have to choose, and to use the famous racing quote "To finish first, first you have to finish", I'm choosing durability/reliability, especially since this is a pemium product and also to avoid all the painfull hustle with returns/repairs. Too bad I didn't buy the CSR-E from the webshop and won't get an invite .
P.S. I also consider not changing the design of the base a big plus, she's a beauty (you don't see Porche changing their design much do you ?)
After all the difficulties experienced trying to obtain a V1 in Australia back when they were released, I missed out on owning any fanatec gear... I cant wait to upgrade from my G27, fingers crossed I might win an invite.
Making brushless servo powered wheels available to the average racer is an amazing step up in sim racing technology!
Wow! Well done Fanatec, you got it spot on to have a CSW Base v2..It sure is "Advancement through technology" Cant wait for my invite, I "Must" have this..I live for Racing and love Fanatec!
Can not wait for the release of the V2. I was about to place a preorder for a CSW wheel base and then the announcements started for the V2 which prompted me to wait for the release.
I am delighted with the new Fanatec intention of making an investment for the new generation of consoles. My interest is maximum compatibility with your xbox one joint. The interest of multicompatibilidad seems sublime. It is a long hard work and consumers are very demanding but madness on the bench. Watch as.
I probably would have to say the updated optical encoder and the no slip belt drive are the features that I am most impressed by. It's really quite hard to choose though everything sounds good to me, It's all definitely a step in the right direction from the old clubsport wheel.

According to the products page PC and PS3 is supported

Attach optional ClubSport Steering Wheels to make this Wheel Base compatible to the latest gaming consoles. ( note the word latest )
2 , PlayStation 3: Games which support force feedback racing wheels. GT6, GT5, F1 2011, Dirt 3 and many other games will work fine!
Other gaming consoles: The compatibility can be upgraded with (optional) steering wheels which will be available at a later pointDoes that mean a wheel be created to make it compatible with 360 ???
