Microsoft Xbox 360 Steering Wheel

[EYEREX]

Hello all as i play grid all the time and Forza 3 is coming soon i fancy getting a Steering Wheel so wondered do they make much of a difference to the driving fun and your lap times

dunno about lap times, but they massively increase the fun, imo

Its very good.

Maybe there are better wheels but at the cost of around £80 you cannot go wrong.

Yup, it's really good.

On Forza 2 I seemed to hit a barrier with the Pad at a certain point but once I started using the Wheel everything just seemed to click into place and I enjoyed racing a bit more.

So far Forza 3 with the Wheel is epic

the official wheel is great, i've had mine since they came out and can't fault it at all.

i tried playing the forza 3 demo the other day with a normal pad and i cant use a pad anymore lol, i dont know how anyone can. you have so much more control over the car with the wheel.

Without wishing to hijack the thread - I've been thinking the same thing recently, only I am after one that will work on both the 360 and the PS3, anyone know if there is such a beast and if so which is the best value?

The fanatec turbo S does, it costs a bomb though.

I've recently picked up the MS Wheel to use with Forza 3.

Its great, really does make a difference especially using manual gears etc. Only thing I am having trouble with is mounting the wheel and pedals on a proper frame.

Even if you finished a game with the pad, start playing it again with the wheel, feels like a new game.

bit of the topic but does the official 360 wheel work through the pc like a pad does if you have the pc wireless adapter thing?

Yes it does, but you don't have any force feedback or they hadn't implemented it the last time I had checked.
