How can we wake Microsoft UP,,so we can get at good racing wheel for
the xbox360,,,there own wheel is NO GOOD,,,we wil have a wheel like
the G25 yaaa,,,,
There have been some third-party applications when it comes to wheel choices on the 360, none of which I have used yet. Although I wasn't completely satisfied with the look/feel of the 360 wheel, you've gotta realize that its a helluva lot cheaper than the comparable GT-spec unit offered for the PS3... So its not going to be as much of a quality piece.
What it comes down to, more or less, is that the market has to demand that they be given a proper wheel to do the games. If the community around Forza, PGR and TOCA aren't complaining, Microsoft would have no reason to update their wheel.

Very, very true! However the game devs should at least provide support for the G25 in their games.
I know there's a high chance that they dont support it because M$ wont let them, but IF its not M$ that are holding them back then they have no reason not to support the G25.
The DFP is slightly cheaper than the 360 Wheel and support 900 degrees just as the G25 or the new GT wheel. And it is tons better than the Xbox crap I'm sorry to say .
Boo to M$. And Sony has supported the FFB wheels since GT3? (PS2). I think the main reason is that Microsoft don't want to pay Logitech?(the ffb software and license) and want make a much $ as possible.
It really looks like Logitech and Sony is in a totally different league. I mean X360 has USB ports so why MS and Logitech won't work together to come up with a good wheel. The reason I think is that Xbox doesn't have a game like Gran Turismo, Forza is not in GT's level imo and it doesn't have a large fan base like GT does. GT wheels are Sony's/PD's innitiative tpwards Logitech whereas MS doesn't have it and never had it. What I mean is if it wasn't for Polyphony Digital and their Gran Turismo we would've never had a wheel like DF-P, DF-GT, G25 for PS2. Sorry for confusion if any.
Well the 360 wheel looks the part, but plays so lame,
Having said that the fastest racers on Forza2 are using the wheel, while the 360 wheel is not even in the class of the G25 or the DFPro, but can get the results, I have tried the 360 wheel so many times without any success compared to the DFP.
All that MicroMoney need to do is support 3rd party ie the logi or even other top quality PC wheels, or pull there head out and make a solid wheel.
There is an alternative, I've got the Logitech Drive FX for my XBox360 and although it's not much better than Microshafts wheel, it is a lot cheaper, so at least you get what you pay for.
