Product Description

With its completely renewed design and double-stitched vinyl cover, the Evolution Gaming Seat from Playseats puts you smack dab in the middle of your favorite racing game. The seat works with almost all racing peripherals on the market and every game console, including the Xbox 360, GameCube, PlayStation2, PCs, and more. More importantly, the chair is notably comfortable while delivering the most realistic racing simulation around.

Details include a reinforced steel tubular construction that adds stability and eliminates excess wobble, a non-flammable seat material, and an easy-to-assemble design. Just install a game steering wheel, such as the latest Logitech model, on the middle pole and attach a couple of pedals along the bottom (all sold separately). The setup is also easily adaptable, with multiple adjustment knobs letting you move the wheel and pedals closer or farther, depending on your height. Appropriate for ages 8 and older, the Evolution seat is the perfect accessory for gamers who want to boost their lap times in style.

Customer Reviews

Bought two of these seats to race my 10 year old son with his old PS2 and new XBox 360 games. Both racing wheels fit nicely and seats adjust fine for me 6'3" and my son 5'. Changing steering wheels is tedious because of the wires but the seats are incredibly great. I still can't drive a virtual car as well as my son but using a steering wheel I can at least compete. Has been great father son time indoors now that its 20 degrees outside. Buying two seats seemed expensive till my wife reminded me of the cost of the XBox originally. Solid construction and they fold and dissasemble partially for storage in a closet. they get an A+ in my book.

I've used this seat with both a Logitech GT Force Pro and now with a Logitech G27 with optional shifter mount and it is an excellent addition or anyone who really loves racing games.
It's all about control and comfort while driving and this seat just flat out works.

Pros-
Comfort - this is super comfortable even after using it for hours on end.
Stable - best way to mount your Logitech wheel and pedals. G27 bolts right on and is locked down, awesome.
adjustability - super easy to adjust wheel and pedals to get comfortable.
Game-play - Easiest and least expensive way to get premium game-play.

Cons-
wheel mount post placement takes some getting used to when using the G27 as it is right where you'd want your leg or braking and shifting.
Space needed for storage. This is best in a room where you can just leave it out and not have to pack it up.
Cable routing isn't pretty.

I've used this chair with GT5 Prologue, Dirt 2 and Need for Speed Shift and it's been excellent across the board.

I've owned the playseat evolution for about 4 months now and couldn't be happier. I picked up the white seat with silver frame, as well as the TV stand and gearshift mount, and built a custom platform for it. There's nothing that comes close for in-home driving games. It's easily adjusted for a range of heights (I'm just over 6'1") with the turn of a few knobs. My only complaint on adjustability is that there's no vertical up-down for the steering wheel, it's a 45-degree angle, so raising it up brings it closer to you (and while you can slide the whole steering assembly away from you to compensate, that puts the "steering shaft" closer to the pedals, which can get in the way of your legs/feet at times.

Assembly took a fair amount of time, but wasn't overly complicated. Fit and finish is superb, though the hardware it shipped with was miscounted, so I had to use some of my own. Fasteners are top-quality stainless, the whole unit looks great.

Gran Turismo will never be the same!
