Remember that spiffy racing wheel that Microsoft announced a while back? You know, the one that comes with the special force feedback version of PGR 3. Yes ... that racing wheel! Over at Xbox Canadian Live they got their hands on one to demo, and the short and sweet version is that they absolutely love it. The force feedback option sounds extremely fun especially with Forza 2 when it drops. Though, I'm not a huge race fan, I could see this little accessory adding to the enjoyment of a game. Are you willing to drop some cash on this bad boy so you can experience what real racing feels like? Seriously, why wouldn't you purchase this wheel? (I guess you probably wouldn't purchase this if you're totally broke and hate racing games or despise wheels in general ... then I can cope with your decision.)

...Like the one I saw at Future Shop the other day? Maybe Canada got these bad boys early or something, because I was about to buy that thing last week. Then I remembered it's 150 bucks and came to my senses.

Yeah I actually saw some at Futureshop tonight and was really tempted to pick one up. But I wanted to read some reviews first and see how well the force feedback adds to the games.

Missing "game"? I don't know, it sounds awkward.

Bought it last Friday and I love it. This is easily as good as the MOMO wheel.

I've never owned a racing wheel before, but I'm tempted to finally pick one up, especially one with force feedback.

sounds nice, but why only 270 degrees, instead of the realistic 900. That's part of the reason I loved Logitech's most recent wheel with GT4.

Will pick one up as soon as they become available. I don't know why more people don't play PGR or Forza anymore.

picked one up friday and its freeekin amazin, i manage to shave off a few seconds in PGR3 , the hardest part of the transition from the controller to the wheel was the gas pedal , its much easier to feather the gas on the trigger than it is witht he pedal but that can be fix with a lil more time spent on the wheel.

Thing I hate this wheel cuz is way it looks like an Xbox 360 threw up on an Audi TT steering wheel. People are going to drive SuperCars in PGR3 and Test Drive Unlimited. I rather wait till the G25 wheel is compatible with the 360 because it looks and feels more like driving a super car than this wireless one.

bought it last week with pgr3 and returned it the same day. i don't have a good setup at home, so it was kinda awkward trying to use a tv tray. the pedals wouldn't stay put on my wood floor, kept sliding around. more hassle than it's worth for me. i'll stick to the controller.
