Step into a GT5 Racing Pod if you Have the Cash
10/04/2010 Written by Cameron Teague
When most people sit down to play video games in front of their TV, it’s a chair or couch that they are sitting in. However, if you have a lot of cash burning a hole in your pocket and you happen to love Gran Turismo 5, then you might want to pay attention to the rest of this article.
The Gran Turismo 5 Racing Pod is on sale at Jumbo Electronics in Dubai for the low price of $10,000. Now if you are still reading this after seeing the price tag, check out just what you would get for that 10K spent.
- The circular shaped racing pod
- Seats
- Logitech Steering Wheel
- 250GB PlayStation 3
- A copy of Gran Turismo 5
- Sony Bravia 40″ 3D TV
The racing pod would be the ultimate gaming chair for anyone out there with money to spend. So the biggest question is, who’s buying me one?

It would be a nice deal if the screen was at least 55″, but not a scam at all I think.
hello ..
if you do get two, will you give me 1 ?
i’m much looking forward for a true car on a true circuit …
i just want a 3G glass-set (Eyetrek or Glasstron 3D anyone!) , a true cockpit with force feedback & i’m OK.
cheers!
God I hate dubai… Rich ass holes… All of them…
This is rather absurd… I mean, first off, what the hell? Who wants a pod? Wouldn’t it make a hell of a lot more sense to make it shaped like a car, with a nice interior? Second, who the hell spends $10,000 on one game? And third, along with what themule said, I’d want a bigger TV, especially for that kind of cash. Frankly, with all that money, I’d go spring for a 3D TV that doesn’t require glasses instead.
@Blkant – Generalize much while jumping to conclusions? I know a lot of cool people from Dubai, none of whom I would consider rich.
If it only plays GT5 than its pointless
i dont think all of that adds up to 10bones. the logitech steering wheel alone would go for like 30-50. 250gb ps3 is like 399 right?? gt5 59.99 (unless you got amazon [56.99]) sony bravia like 2k. i honestly think its a scam/rip-off cause the hefty price is pretty much the pod and seats. which i can get the logitech seats, steering wheel, pedals, and more for 300$
To any of you rich ppl out there. I’d love to have one so if you have a spare i’ll have it can be used i’m not fussy.
@Rynxie: Logitech makes a model that sells for nearly $225, the G25, I think that is the one in the Pod. It has been in other high priced offerings or some limited edition wheel that is aimed at professional driving simulators. There are some that are priced at a few thousand dollars for PC and if they are USB they could be used on the PS3 with the proper Software interface inside the game.
Oh and that Pod is designed for an Arab market and their ideas of what looks good in their game rooms is a lot different than what Westerners feel looks good.
Let talk the geek inside us… That is freaking cool! It just miss some G-force generated by the pod itself and a beer container
i never seen a logitech wheel go past 50 unless it was bundle with the other accessories there for the highest i seen was 300, maybe 500 but im not sure. even if youre right it still wouldnt add up to 10,000. and i dont wanna pay for just the crappy pod and seats when i seen better shit for less the price. i could buy all of it separately (minus the pod or get these half car interior) and save 6k or more. i know i seen a car interior racing set-up for like 2k and less
I could make myself something better for less than $5000
@SPD55 – that might explain why I think this thing is so ugly…
