Hello OC Racing Members I am looking for my first sim racing bundle. I live in Australia and my budget is around $500 AUD although I can adjust I also am an Xbox player. I need to buy new as good used deals near me are nearly impossible to find. I have really been wanting the Moza R3 Xbox which is $649 here and it goes on sale for no less than $599 (I have been waiting for a good sale on it for a year now). Another option is the Logitech G923 Xbox which is also for some weird reason full price for $649 but it often goes on sale for much less. Right now the Logitech G923 bundle with a shifter is available at JB HI FI (reputable Australian store) for $479. The same bundle on Amazon but without the shifter is $420. I’m just wondering if to either save for a little longer for the much better experience or get the Logitech G923 and enjoy. I would also love any other recommendations but make sure they are bundles and Xbox compatible. Thank you.

Sorry for the long message.

Good question!

If you can stretch the budget a bit, I would personally recommend saving for the MOZA R3.

The G923 bundle, if your main priority is just getting something to drive with right now, it will do the job. You will have fun with it and it is a solid entry level starter kit for Xbox.

That said, the R3 is a huge improvement in terms of overall experience. You are getting a modern direct drive base instead of a gear driven wheel, which means:

Smoother, more detailed force feedback
No rattling and mechanical noise (Which is a big thing in the Logitech gear driven bases)
Better long term upgrade path within the MOZA ecosystem
A setup that will not feel outdated as quickly

Since you are already willing to spend around $500 AUD and you have had your eye on the R3 for a year, that tells me two things. First, you care enough about the experience to notice the difference. Second, if you buy the G923 now, there is a good chance you will end up wanting to upgrade later, which means spending more in the long run.

So yeah, those are my 2 cents.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I will be saving for the Moza R3 then.
