I honestly cant pay $150 bucks for a peripheral I will only use occasionally. Any word on a logitech wheel for the $360 that will be $100 or under.  Anyone have the $150 and can justify the price when I can almost get three (3) games for the price of this wheel????

While I don't own it, I've heard nothing but good reviews and comments on the Microsoft Racing Wheel. While you might not have that much money to spend on an accessory, I can assure you that it is well worth it.

I'm thinking about getting it for Forza 2. I know its extravagant, but i am sure it is a really great wheel.

It comes with PGR3. It is an extremely nice wheel. They put effort into it, you will notice it the first time you use it. I recommend you try it out if you can, but if you end up buying it, you will not be disappointed.

If only the rest of the world would realize the Wii is just an over priced peripheral.

i know what you mean, i wanted a wheel but didnt want to spend that much, but then I tried it at a friends place and went and bought it the next day, its really sweet, even tho it came with PGR3 which i already had, the wheel changes everything and you have to re learn how to play, its really good, plus the force feedback is great too.

also in a few months there are two really good games on the way, Forza and COlin McRae Dirt, and then you will really have alot to do with the wheel.

I think if you are going to spend once on a peripheral, save up and get the right one.

its definitely worth the money. best steering wheel i know so had and i tried many. it comes with PGR3 and will probably later have Forza 2 bundled with it since the steering wheel was sort of made specifically for Forza.

I bought the new MS one and I wasn't impressed at all. First off the whole thing is plastic! Second the racing pedals need to connect to the wheel part by, get this, a RJ-11 cable (telephone line!). After playing PGR3 with it I knew the controller was the better choice for me, and returned it. I also couldn't stand that I spent $150 on a plastic wireless steering wheel.

Worth every penny. Also with the new wireless receiver from Microsoft, you will be able to use the wheel with your pc too. Oh yeah and the wire that connects from the steering wheel to the pedals is a standard network cable too.

I will probably wait for forza 2. I doubt that it will be the same price as the current PGR bundle but that would be sweet.
