Playseats Evolution Gaming Seat Review

I needed something for my G27,
M Murphy.
Well, I’ve got a PS3 and I’ve been wanting Gran Tourismo forever. Finally, at Christmas, I got a Logitech G27. That’s all fine and good, but I needed a seat as well. I did my research and game up with the Playseats Evolution as the premier seat. I purchased the seat from Amazon at a great price of 299. and added the gearshift and slider accessories. All without any shipping costs.
Once I got the seat, I was amazed that it all fit nicely in a fairly small box. It weighs 55lbs, so, you might need help lifting it. Assembly was fairly easy, the instructions were clear. What wasn’t clear was the seat slider. There were no instructions for it, but after studying the slider, it was installed no issues.
I did not like the fact there was no cable management (channels or holes, etc…); however, a quick run to Home Depot fixed it fairly nice with cable looms. I picked 1/2″ loom and (almost) everything was packed away and tied down. I HIGHLY recommend some cable management.
The seat came with all the necessary hardware to mount the Logitech G27. Once everything was tightened down, I put my but in the seat and it felt GREAT! I slid the seat, wheel and pedals to my comfort position and then fired up GT5P. What an amazing experience. Nothing prepared me for having that much fun.
I got the slider mainly for the use of my 6 and 12 yr old girls. They can adjust the seat, wheels and pedals to fit them exactly. Again, I HIGHLY recommend the slider for your kids.
Overall, the fit and finish is outstanding. I read some other comments about some bar in the back, either I have a newer seat or it’s not there. The seat is very comfortable, even after hours (to my wife’s dismay) of shredding the tracks.
One caviat: I have never owned a racing wheel or a seat. This is my first experience; however, if this is an example of what sim racing is about, then I am OVERLY excited. What a fantastic combination. For me, I will probably wear out the seat and wheel before years end.
This chair is awesome! Worth the money!

This chair is awesome! Took about 20 minutes to setup. Not a bad process. The manual could of been clearer on the instructions.
Once setup I mounted my XBOX steering wheel to it and turned on GRID for the XBOX 360. It takes about 30-60 minutes to really get good with the wheel, but once you do its hard to get out of the chair! Its the only game I have played since getting the chair. I dont want to play anything else. Its like having an arcade in your living room! If your on edge to buy this thing and have a XBOX 360, GRID and some money…I would definitely pick it up! You wont regret it. I like that it folds up for easy storage too so my Girlfriend doesnt have to look at it!
