new DD wheel came out today, CSL DD - I'm not happy as I JUST bought a Clubsport 2.5 for way more

I'm really surprised there aren't any posts about the new DD base. I'm not happy at all - they should have told me about this when I was ordering about just over two months ago. And I paid $580. So for over $200 less I can now get a better base? Fanatec, will you let me return my base and buy this one? This sucks.

this can happen in every tech market, unlucky to say the least. You might want to contact the support directly and see if you can return it according to their 14 days return policy.

But I can't wait half a year to get the `csl dd`!
i feel the same way, i have had the CSW 2.5 for a few months but am torn between my feelings. on the one hand i am excited and curious about the CSL DD, on the other hand a bit pissed off when the base is supposed to be so good. it would be a shame if the CSW 2.5 lost all value
How console compability will be with this and/or possible future CS DD? Will there be some specific models or regardless about models, with right steering wheels compability is achieved?
On the other hand my CSW v2 has worked w/out any problems about 5-6 years(or so, can't remember anymore when I bought it).
Yes, it's very surprising. Was thinking of buying a CSW 2.5 as well in the coming months, and seeing that it was out of stock for a while. In the meanwhile, couldn't resist to buy a new Thrustmaster T300 RS for less than € 200, thinking I'd be able to sell it for the same amount after a while.
Glad I waited for the wheel base, although surely the CSW 2.5 still seams like a great piece of equipment. Together with the Porsche 918 RSR wheel it seemed like a good deal. Let's see what will be on offer with the CSL DD.
I wouldnt worry about this new one if you have the CSW. Same max torque spec wo upgrade
Judging from your rant over here we can come to a conclusion that
a) You don't know the tech details and capabilities of your CSW 2.5
b) You didn't read the tech details and capabilities of the new CSL DD
d) You don't understand how the tech world works and how the technology is advancing and new products are being released.
Of course there's certain amount of sex appeal around DD's.
good question. Will it be compatible with ps4?
they are working on console compatible versions...
thank you
It's understandable to be frustrated, but really if you got it 2 months ago, and it's not shipping for a few months more, would you have wanted to go all that time without a wheel base?
Also, for what it's worth, I have a DD1 and a CSW 2.5 and there are some games where I prefer the feel of the 2.5, much like an audiophile might prefer the sound of an analog record on a turntable instead of digital music from an ipod.
If you're super upset, maybe sell the base you have now and wait out the summer for the new one to come out. 2.5's are still fetching $400+ on ebay, so you could get that $400, dump it into a CSLDD and not have to pony up any additional money.
except for the power supply to match the nm output...
I bought my CSW V2.5 a month ago, which I am now faced with returning for RMA on a bad motor. I am not very happy with how all this is turning out. :(
