So if you're thinking of buying it I'd recommend it, it's fun and the FF works really nice... If the FF tuning in FM turns out what they have said, then it'll be even better.
I have tried the Micro$haft FFB wheel, and it is junk - for the money it is. I would buy it for half the price.

Its mounting is rather goofy and the wheel shape and layout are rather silly.

I really prefer this one in the end...

RC, do you know if the FF works and works well on that wheel. I've been thinking about buying a wheel for the 360, and dont want to get the wireless one beacuse its hella expensive. This one looks better, I just want to know if it is better.

If the Forza producers spent more on proper developers instead of car licences, then the Xbox would probably a game that actually comes close to Gran Turismo.

Instead, we get Need For Speed on Steroids.

Still wont really come close to GTL or GTR2 though

But if FM2 is like FM1 with a "easy" physics model, then you will be going quicker sooner with FM2 than with GTL

GTL is the greatest! Forza drive far better than the Gran Turismo series and still looks pretty good. It looks like they'll have a pretty good line up of cars. It's making me want a 360.
