The Logitech G25 racing wheel was released this month for $299 (Ya, not very cheap but according to the review its well worth the price if you're a sucker for racing simulators).
It works with the PC, PS2 and apparently PS3 as well.

The review can be found here. (http://www.hardware.info/en-US/articles/am9nZmpvZA/Logitech_G25_racing_wheel__Review/1)

Also you can watch the G25 in action if you download this (http://www.hardware.info/videos/hwi-logitech-g25-720p.wmv.torrent) movie (torrent).

Overall we can say that we are seriously impressed by the Logitech G25. In our humble opinion we would even go as far as to advise any living room racer to go out and buy this set. The retail price of $ 299 may not be exactly cheap, but Logitech have created such an attractive package that your getting every pennies worth out of it.

A freakin' clutch pedal at last!

I must say that it looks very impressive, and I guess playing a driving simulator with the G25 is as near realistic as you can get. ;)

Very cool stuff for the person with cash leaking from the pores of their wallet, but not for us average folks. Would be great to try that out though, especially with a huge screen or multi-screen HD display....

It would be better if the buttons were on the wheel.

I have the Logitech GT Force Pro which has all the PS2 buttons and works with PC's.

You'll want to buy Live For Speed (http://www.liveforspeed.net/) to use this wheel with.

If it ran on the XB360 as well, I'd deff buy it, but no thanks if it's just PC, PS2 and PS3.:( Forza Motorsports 2 <3

Nice looking piece of kit, bit pricey tho, I would love a driving game to come out that has a lot of depth, something like motor city online, if a game like this came out then it might warrant a purchase.

(shouldn't this be in hardware and software section tho?)

Nice wheel.
Would be funny if everyone in a race had these wheels online. You'd see people stalling all over the place :D

Nice but just not enough buttons on the wheel.

That looks pretty slick. I've tried the MOMO and it works really nice. I'm sure there would be plenty of people willing to pay $300 for the new wheel. (not me!)
