  1. my pick would be the G29 Driving Force- wheel I love race games and this looks like a winner for steering.

  3. I would like the PS5, in order to play Jedi: Survivor! This game came out in April of 2023 exclusively for PS5 (as many of the most amazing future games probably will) and I’ve been hankering for a PS5 ever since. Fingers crossed that I win this contest. ;D
