At this Price Point It's just questionable whether you still buy it plus the QR2 for the Wheels or go straight to the High End DDs from other Company’s without the Xbox Compabitity which is not so important when you play on Pc .
David DeGreef your waiting very long i wish you many Luck that it came before Christmas .My DD2 was after 4 Days at me in Germany with Ups from BF but i buy it only to compare to my DD1 F1 and Simucube .I really don’t know if keep the DD2.I have also CSW V2 and that is still a very good Base.
My beginnig was a used CSW V1.5 with Formula Black then CSW V2 V2.5 CSL Elite Podium F1 .Sometimes i wish they made 12 Nm Belt Driven Base.Its a complete different Feeling with Belt Drive i think.I still play with my V2.
Allan Lethtla I have the Podium F1 PS4 double .I had two of them one I sold that is one Rig .I have two Rigs. Second Rig is Pc with Simucube Pro and now DD2 for test .
Not sure if anyone is paying attention, but prices are rising in all markets and industries, continuously. This is not unique to Fanatec. If a materials supplier issues a price rise, you don't ask your customers for permission to raise the price. You just do it.

Preorder finished -that's normal that price is rising
Its not really normal, no.
More to demand and opportunity. Surprising it came so quick, but perhaps its a good sign that they believe inventory is readily available.
i hope they know what they are doing as moza is cheaper, but then again moza r12 does not support xbox
Another thought may be to make the DD+ a little more attractive by making it 'only' a $200 gap without having to reduce the DD+?
well, yeah maybe but people still look inside wallet first. so if that matter to user more that brand name then they may go other direction
Where did they say that the 699 were for pre-orders.

So the old Price will be Black Friday 2024.
Well if nothing else it makes the waiting and frustration of pre-order a little less painful 😉

Thank you, both my CS DD and BF order are now COMPLETELY SHIPPED, so fingers crossed they arrive before Santa.
This will be my third Fanatec setup CSR Forza>CSW v2.5>CS DD and have yet to be disappointed and no reason to think I will be.
Happy Holidays

ha, you buy the dd2 cheaper than your old dd1 ? just sell your dd1 higher price and keep your self the dd2
another is of-course you to can sell dd2 as well for profit as price is now higher again :P

Nowhere, this is a fucking joke

A 15% price increase a week after "release" can't be related to the increse prices in raw material, they actually tend to stabilize now.
It's looks either like a not announced pre order deal or a simple rip off for those who wanted to wait
