It is a steering wheel that you put the Wii-mote in.
If anyone wants to see what the Wheel is check out this video interview there he uses it to show the game.

Wii 1 GB SD Card (SanDisk) - $59.99
Wii 512 MB SD Card (SanDisk) - $39.99
Is this for noobs? It's a full 20 bucks more expensive than most SD Cards!

I'm hoping that they're right about the WarioWare date, though I wouldn't be surprised if that got pushed back to February or March, and I'm hoping that they're like $30 over the actual MSRP for Elebits, though it's unlikely that Konami wouldn't take this opportunity to milk any suckers.
Wii 1 GB SD Card (SanDisk) - $59.99
Wii 512 MB SD Card (SanDisk) - $39.99

Than most SD cards online, in stores that give bargains. It's actually identically priced to retail (BB, CC, and the like) SanDisk SD cards.

Just this morning when the preorder line for the Wii was full.
As for the wheel that comes with either of Ubisoft's driving games, check this thread (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107264).

Why yes, it is - I saw some teenager today who missed out on the Wii preorder lay down $40 cash for a preorder on the 512 MB "memory card". I assume he didn't know they were standard SD cards :D. Or maybe he just *really* wanted a Nintendo-branded SD card. Though it looks from this list that they might not even be the Nintendo branded ones (which I've seen pictures of). I couldn't tell on the list today at EB as most of the descriptions were cut off. For example, they had component cables for $59.99 - but I'm assuming those are the Mad Catz ones EB/GS has been listing for a while and not the official Nintendo ones. They BETTER not be, given the $20-$30 pricing for those cables in Japan.
Yeah, kind of disappointed on Elebits - everything I've heard was that it was a launch title. I was only going to get Elebits, Zelda, and of course Wii Sports... This might force me to pick up another game at launch :D.
I noticed EB didn't have Dragon Quest Swords listed in their preorder sheet - but they do have it online, but for release on Dec. 30th (boo!). (I like that they are advertizing it as a price drop, "Save $10", to $49.99 :D).

Ah, so that wheel is not really a controller, but just a plastic "caddy" for the Wiimote that happens to be in the shape of a steering wheel :D. So not really a bargain that any game comes with that, but neat as it isn't costing any additional money. I'll pick that game/wheel combo up when it hits clearance :D.

I figured that it would be delayed, but that still saddens me. DQ ftw!
