Racing Wheels

[Hybrid]

I'll be purchasing a racing wheel just for Forza 2 and maybe some other racing simulators, I need to know "what's hot and what's not."

Of course, there is Microsoft's wheel, cost $130. I'll be trying to get that for less than that on eBay, lol. How does it compare in Forza 2 to real driving?

Then I see some 3rd party stuff which I don't usually buy but they are cheaper. I see a Mad Catz racing wheel and a Logitech one. I want one with force feedback, otherwise it would be no fun. I want one that works with most racing games.

(Doesn't look like it'll get any cheaper...)

(Doesn't get as cheap either)

Any other ones you guys might want to recommend for a reasonable price? It doesn't matter if it's wireless or not.

I had the MatCatz one for a bit and played it with PGR3, It was ok and worked great. I love the official Xbox 360 one it's awsome, I was playing it in GAME yesterday when playing Forza 2.

It looks like the 360 one is more durable. How does it compare to real driving, and is it worth to get it just for Forza 2? No other simulator compares to it...so I've heard.

I love the force feedback on the M$ one. Lethal was getting the logitech one but not sure if he has tried it out yet.

Hmm, Lethal if you are going to purchase the Logitech could you give a brief review? Only $57, lol

I really want to get a racing wheel but Im not sureif I should or not. I dont know if I would use it all that much since Two Worlds is only a month away. Im still deciding whether or not to get it.

[Hybrid]

Dam 100$ just for a wheel?

Honestly i was thinking about picking up a cheapy wheel with force feedback for forza 2 and the upcoming dirt, but is it worth it?

[Hybrid]

Oh yeah, I've spent about an hour driving around in Forza around the same track, it never gets boring. If you are on a tight budget, get the Logitech DriveFX, though it's only $10-$20 cheaper in retail price. $100 for the Microsoft wheel is a good price, it's $129 retail. I got Forza 2 and the Wheel for $160 new at Best Buy :D

I posted a review of the wheel in the Member Article section, it should be up shortly.

You guys should have seen his car when I went 120mph right into his rear bumper. His car was a blur and was bouncing off the tires like a raqcuetball at the speed of sound, lol! Then you came back and rammed me!
