I will just stick with the gamepad. I personally don't feel a wheel adds enough to the game to warrant the extra money. It isn't like on the PC where you go from arrow keys to a wheel. I think the controller does a fine job of giving me enough control...

Maybe I am not hardcore enough and/or just suck...who knows?

I guess I can always resell the wheel if I don't like it. I just want a bit more realism since I'm trying to play a simulation racer, I guess.

No I want force feedback so I can drift better, the fanatec wheel thats made for forza is going ot be sick, 900 turning radius, clutch, 6 speed. Its a pretty sweet setup, cause I just ran with the clutch with the controller and it sucks, I want to actually drive the car with the wheel.

yea, the fanatec wheel is freaking awesome.
Havent tried it yet, but with all the features and is 360/pc/ps3 compatible, you dont need 2-3 extra wheel. It also has a 6+1 shifter which I love very much in pc sims.

I don't think I'll be able to afford the Fanatec wheel, even if they sell them here in NZ. I'll stick with the Microsoft one I guess....

it is quite expensive, and by quite I mean selling body parts still wont be enough lol.
just for the pure edition which is 360 only it doesnt include pedals, or the 6+1/sequential shifter. Though it has paddle shifts, and you can use the G25 pedals, or the MS 360 wireless wheel pedals.

For $200 you just get the wheel and thats it. Everything else is options lol
If you want the whole thing, its $450.....though, I would starve to death, and selling arms and legs just to buy it
