I just noticed that the Microsoft Wireless Racing Wheel is now down to $130. Now, that is only a $20 difference then before but maybe they dropped it so they can bundle Forza 2 with it? Who knows...
For those that have the wheel, what do you think? Is it worth it? This was less of a problem with PGR3, but in the Forza 2 demo I'm having trouble using the analog stick in turns. Its nearly impossible to easily nudge the stick and hold it throughout the turn, so you resort to doing the tap method. Unfortunately, with an ultra-realistic racer like Forza, this really screws things up and keeps you from keeping a solid racing line, and sometimes causes sliding. Does the wheel improve gameplay a decent amount to make that steep pricetag worth it?

In a nutshell....YES. Just make sure you have a good place to mount the wheel and have room for the pedals on the floor. My coffee table is not very adequate as it sits too low ( i have to hunch over in a uncomfortable position ) and the pedals always jam up underneath the table.
