Get this Wheel for Gaming? - SRT Forums

N0sferatU · 10-15-2009, 02:37 PM

I just don't know if I can. I really want it but I can't justify the freaking cost. Would you pay $350 to use this in Forza on the Xbox360 and GTR-2 on the PC? I can't pick any logitech products (e.g. G25/G27) since they aren't supported by the Xbox360. Is this sucker worth the price? Thoughts?

I don't want the Microsoft wheel because it lacks the actual 6+1 shifter (aka H pattern shifting) and a clutch pedal.

Hard to justify the price for that, even though it looks nice. There should be better bang for the buck wheels out there.

$350 is to high for my blood... But if you have the money and you can justify it to yourself, then go for it. $200 is the most I would spend on a wheel kit and at $200, it should be SWEET!!

its $200 for the wheel and $150 for the porsche logo..... and no i couldnt see paying that much unless i had the 3 tv set up and full surrond sound

So is that a full shifter or one of those up/down or left/right only shifters?

You should get the Logitech G25...oh wait, it isn't compatible with the 360, ouch.

It's a 6 spd shifter with an extra for reverse and I'd like the Logitech but it's not compatible with Xbox360. I have GTR-2 for the PC so I could use this Fanatec wheel on both PC and Xbox360...however I really am pressing to find justification for paying that much for it.

you should just wait until you see it pop up on ebay and pick it up for 200$ tops

Get a Logitech G25...it's got everything that thing has plus tons of good reviews, and it costs just over half as much. I wouldn't trust a wheel just because it has a Ferrari logo on it. You can always get a junk wheel for the xbox.

i saw a review on this wheel actually
they said the force feed back is excellent

it has a "6 speed gear box" and the pedal feel is pretty good.

the only gripe they had was the shifter on those metal sticks felt kinda flimsy, didnt give a firm shift feel.

Hoenstly, i bet $50 of cost is just because its "Porsche"

May have to pick one of these up. About damn time there was a 360 wheel with a clutch. Too bad I cant use my G25 with it though....

BLKDOUTSRT4 · 10-17-2009, 06:18 PM

like i said....NATAL ....

ShiRoTor4 · 10-17-2009, 09:55 PM

By the time Natal is actually released you'd have missed playing this Forza for probably 1 year+ and the next one will be released.

i heard it was pretty close.....like xmas close.....just a rumor tho Xbox 360’s Natal for Christmas 2009 : Product Reviews Net sounds like he rumor has a chance at truth considering the new ms console is rumored for 2012....that gives natal a good run to get kinks out so it can be used on the new ms system.....
