Anyone pick up the MS wireless steering wheel?

[toper]

With all the console madness going on, I didn't even realize that this had come out until I ran into it today at BB. Any racers out there pick it up and have any impressions?

seems that no one has gotten it though. Racing is my favorite genre, but I can't really see myself getting the racing wheel, I would have to change my whole setup to play games if I did.

Saw 1 at toyrs R us, not that big of a racing fan so I didn't think it was worth $100+

I really do want it, but I wish there was one universal one across at least the ps3 and xbox 360 that is usb. It's really hard justifying the 100 + purchase for a few games. Though PGR3 would be so much more damn awesomew ith that wheel

Maybe if halo 3 used it....................

well this leads to a one post thread so lets keep the discussion here.

Sorry I didn't see the other thread (honest!).

Anyways, if I can get this and another game at CC, and then use the $40 off $200 coupon...it might be worth it to me. Also, it comes with a force feedback version of PGR3 (which is good, since I sold mine and miss it).

I want one as well. But at $150 I can't justify that price even on a xmas wishlist.

Same here...Might scoop this up with Smackdown today

My local Sams has it for $120. I was thinking about picking it up, but I've heard mixed things on games not fully supported.

IGN has a review up:

Still on the fence with this one...if it would have come with Forza 2 instead of PGR3, this would've been a no-brainer purchase for me. Hopefully, when Forza is finally released, the price on this will have come down a bit.

If it ever goes on sale for $$75-100 and comes with the force feedback PGR3, then I would pick it up.


How is it ign, and they don't have a wireless xbox headset? They said they couldn't test it with the wireless headset "cause we don't have one." WTF?

That review is terrible. They don't even cover how the feedback has been implemented in the various games.

Still, with everything else I have to buy this holiday season, this one can wait for a price drop.
