Xbox 360 Wireless Wheels

Sweet! I'm not one for purchasing large game peripherals, but I have to admit that the wheel looks awesome. I'm thrilled to see Microsoft distributing some seriously excellent gaming peripherals including the wireless headset and wheel.

The design of the wheel alone is impressive. It's all in the details like the tire tread lap pad, resistance sensitive break pedal, Xbox guide button in the center of the wheel, trunk release switch clamp, and the seatbelt cover (I think a change compartment or dashboard ashtray might have been a little more authentic instead of the seatbelt). Small considerations like those really make the wheel that much better. I'll seriously have to consider picking one up.

I'm not a huge racing fan, but I love, love, love PGR3 and Forza Motorsport. I also dig Midtown Madness (where the hell is 4, guys)? I should think that the wireless wheel would be ideal for driving simulators. If anyone hasn't already noticed, I'm a huge simulator buff. Arcade racing never really did anything for me...unless you’re talking Mario Kart or Extreme G, then I'm all game. :)

Most Wanted isn't in that list, although (as you noticed) that is just the fully supported list... I can still drive with it, I just won't get force feedback.

PGR3 is what we were able to try... amazing.

Well, if I were going to buy a wheel, I'd certainly get the Microsoft wheel, rather than a third-party one.

I noticed NFS: Most Wanted is not listed as "Fully Supported with Force Feedback" at the Xbox 360 Wireless Wheel link you provided.

I'm wondering how PGR3 handles with the Xbox360 Wireless Wheel.

Thanks for the making this visit guys. Nothing like playing Need for Speed: Most Wanted arcade style in the comfort of your own home. :) Looking forward to borrowing yours Duncan. :)
