Im looking to getting into more racing games and thought a wheel might be fun for me and my son ,looking for a wheel and pedals combo

dont really wanna spend much as i doubt i play it that often

which ones are worth looking at for 360 ?

It's alright, I have one. I'm not sure for me it was worth the £69.99 though, it's got rather a large volume of dust on it. My mate's £150 thrustmaster (or was it logitech? ) for his PS3 is pretty good.

Still, it's a fair bit more difficult than using the normal controller!

See if you can source an unboxed official one from cex. Think I paid under 40 quid for one.

Personally I'd say you're better off with a pad than a cheapo wheel, the official MS one is merely 'ok', the pedals have no stiffness to them, FFB is a bit poor and the wheel itself just doesn't feel that solid but it's certainly the best of the 'cheap' ones.

Saying that, my comments are from someone who uses a G25 regularly which is a whole different league to the cheapo wheels, a whole different price level too so kinda understandable

And obviously if you're not really going to use it much then the Fanatec which must be by far the best wheel for the xbox is a waste of money...

Get a 2nd hand Official MS wheel they are really quite good if you're not comparing them to a 250 quid wheel.
I have a Black Momo for my PC & the MS wheel for my 360, It really depends what game you play as to how the FF works, Dirt 2 has the best feedback of any game I've played on the 360 but Forza 3 & F1 are still Must have racers when you have a wheel.
