Buying secondhand wheels is something I encourage doing. You might also try looking for sales in local stores. If you buy a digital copy of this game through PlayStation Network, you will own it in perpetuity. After purchasing a disk, you always have the option to sell it or swap it for a different one. You also do not need to purchase a yearly subscription in order to use PSN. There are also sales and discounts available. Once a month, there will be free games, primarily Turkey and Tetris. Perhaps it would make more sense for online use. But you must decide for yourself if you are able to play there. It is really challenging to aim accurately with the controller. Especially if you recently stepped away from a computer, where there is a keyboard and a mouse, you should avoid doing this. Invest on padding for your sticks immediately away because they are rather inexpensive. Playing that is both more comfortable and more aesthetically pleasing.
