 Great Addition to any Racing Platform June 14, 2008
I had this seat since 11.2007 and I can attest that it is what ever racing game needs no matter the platform.... PC, XBox360, or PS3. I have a G25 and the wheel bolts to the wheel deck perfectly. I also highly recommend the Shift mount, an additional $30US (I believe) which also receives the G25 shifter perfectly.
The seat is extremely comfortable; firm like it should be and over time has held its original shape. The seat enhances the immersion factor by placing you in the correct position as you would be if in an actual race car.
To even enhance the feel more, I've clamped my Butt Kicker shaker and two bass shakers wired to my sound system via powered amplifier. This playseat frame is stronger enough to support the shaking while providing a firm sturdy seat. Simply Awesome Immersion Factor!!!!
I could not enjoy my racing games w/o this fantastic very affordable seat!
Hope this helps anyone trying to make a decision.

Great Cockpit for the Money! June 14, 2008
As an avid racing game fan, I always wanted a racing cockpit. I had looked at some in the past, but found them to be on the expensive side ($700+). Race Driver Grid was recently released so I purchased the Logitech G25 wheel from amazon and it was then I noticed the Playseat Evolution cockpit for an affordable price. I did a couple weeks of research, browsing various forums and tons of reviews to find the quality and opinion of others first; all of which were positive. I went ahead and ordered the seat and within a few days it arrived. It was packaged extremely well and installation was a breeze. After only a few minutes the chair was assembled and ready for the G25. Upon mounting the G25 I realized just how much the seat was configured for it. The package came with extra bolts that mount up through the bottom of the wheel and pedals and hold them securely. I then spent a little while directing the cables for the wheel around the bars with zip ties. The seat is extremely stable, comfortable, and really feels like an actual racing seat. It is fully adjustable so any size person can quickly set it to their height. I later ordered the shifter adapter and once installed that completely finished the cockpit off. The seat also can quickly fold down to a smaller size to be put away, another feature I really like a lot.
PLAYING GAMES:
Playing racing games in the seat has moved to a whole new level for me. The level of immersion and realism is outrageous. I ended up playing all kinds of games on the PC and PS3; Grid, Grand Turismo, Need for Speed Carbon, Most Wanted, TrackMania were all awesome to play. Even my old racing games felt completely new! Every single friend of mine that has come over to try it out claims it feels they're at GameWorks playing a massive arcade racing game. I definitely know that now I will be spending many many hours playing every new racing game released for quite some time. I highly recommend the seat to anyone who enjoys racing games. Also, make sure you purchase the shifter adapter, it really completes one hell of a cockpit.
This is just what I needed May 31, 2008
I've always liked racing games but it's hard to play them with regular console joysticks. This time I decided to invest a little and purchase the Playseats Evolution with a Logitech steering wheel. Perfect combo! It's now way more fun to play my games.
Highly recommended.
 Solid platform for racing games minus buttkicker May 27, 2008
The Evolution Gaming Seat is mostly what I'd hoped for: a solid, durable platform for my racing wheel and pedals. I have the Microsoft XBox 360 wireless wheel, and using lots of velcro (supplied with the seat) secured it perfectly. Playseats sells an extra adapter for mounting the wireless XBox 360 wheel, but you don't need it. That's the great news!
On the downside, I noticed during assembly that there is no post underneath the seat anywhere for mounting a ButtKicker BK-GR Gamer (which lets you feel vibration in the seat). It is on my list to purchase next, but I will have to come up with some sort of juryrigged way to attach it.
Quality and fun in one package May 4, 2008

This is my first investment with anything close to a racing seat. The Playseats Evolution Gaming Seat is quality and comfort. From the minute you open the box you will realize the true quality that went into this top notch product. Fear not people who are large or small, short or tall. This amazing seat has an unbelievable amount of adjustments that makes it easy for anyone to fit comfortably in this chair.
Assembling is rather simple as there are only a few steps involved. Each part of this gaming seat is solid and well made to last for years. Once assembled the only difficult part is adjusting it. Now if you have a G25 wheel like me you will find this gaming seat is almost made perfectly for this. Everything part of the wheel is bolted in to make it extra secure. Sitting in the gaming seat is very comfortable. The racing seat is well made and contours well to the body.
Now obviously if you have a seat like this you will need a good quality wheel and I believe for any enthusiast that would be the G25 by Logitech. It's an excellent wheel that is this gaming seat was made for. Of course you will need the gear shift holder that doesn't come with this set. Amazon doesn't offer it but it is available.
In closing this is a great seat and it will last just about anyone for several years. Enough time to enjoy some great racing games on their favorite console or PC.
