Question XBOX360 Wireless Wheel

Hey every1,
I was recently looking into buying the Wireless wheel for the 360.
I wanted to know if any1 here has it, and if its worth the money.
Ive seen that a couple different companys sell em, and I was wondering if they all have force feedback, and if any1 is better then the other?

I bought it and I love it! Honestly though, I doubt it can be used to be as fast as a normal controller is (don't think the wheel will make you win all races). Also, the learning curve is fairly steep if it is your first wheel. However the driving position is so much more natural and those endurance runs are much easier to cope with (no more sore/cramped thumbs/fingers) So, it has it's pros and cons but in the end I still highly recommend it!
I've used it with several games such as:
PGR 3, 4
Forza 2
NFS prostreet, Underground
Burnout Revents, Paradise

The only game the wheel really shines with is Forza 2. When you get into turning ABS, TCS, and STM off you'll understand why the precision really helps.

I have been thinking about this for forza 2. I always turn tcs and stm off 'cept for when driving my 1000+ hp viper which spins tires at 150mph.
Not sure if I want to spend much on a wheel I probably wont use very often because I just beat all the career races in street cars. Havent attempted R1,R2,R3,R4 races yet and the factory stock races are kinda boring.

He asked if it was worth it. This post does zero to contribute to the thread.

OP: I wish I had a 360, I'd have that wheel and give you feedback on it. GL

I'm the opposite, I like the factory stock and R class races because they pit you against cars very closely matched! Makes for a tough battle that really tests your braking, line, and passing skills :)

Not a fan of the wheel. Bought it and returned it the same hour.
