Apparently, you can buy XCM F-1 converter and it will let you use your G27 or G25 with the Xbox.

I don't know how well it works, if it supports force feedback, or if it is worth the money. There is a review of it on inside sim racing, but I can't watch videos at work. From the little I read about it, it seems like a risk considering it costs around $80.

I watched that review. They liked it better than using a controller for all the games they tested it with (F1, Shift, Forza 3 and Race Pro). There was FFB but it was like the rumble pad effect instead of true FFB.
You also need a wired xbox controller (I doubt using a charge kit would work, but you never know).
End impressions - they ranked it in between a controller and a true wheel setup for the 360.

Waste of money. You need to buy it + a wired controller and all it does is emulate a gamepad and there is no real FFB it simply uses the rumble feature of the game to fake FFB.
 
Yeah, from what I've heard it's garbage, and by the time you've bought it and a wired controller you're halfway or more to getting a Fanatec wheel (and since you have a g27 you can use the pedals).

Still, it's nice to see someone trying to get the g27 working on 360, but I don't think it'll ever be really good. Best bet is either a Fanatec or MS wheel with g27 pedals.
 
If you already own a nice wheel such as the G27 then buy a cheapo used Xbox 360 racing wheel. Or some other brand to get you by. It beats using the controller or speed wheel.
