Racing Setups for the Xbox360
There are several wheels out there (mostly for the PS3 and PC) but not so many for the 360 (why is MS not letting Logitech make the G27 not for the Xbox?). But there are a few from the cheap (Madcatz) to the mid-range (MS wheel, Logitech DriveFX) to the enthusiast inspired (Fanatec).
Fanatec makes the best looking wheel, shifter, and pedal setup for the 360 (also works on the PC and PS3 so might be worth some thought). It’s fairly expensive but for the serious racing game enthusiast can you really argue? The wheel looks terrific, the manual shifter (although probably not supported as of yet in any game) looks awesome, and the pedals (all metal) provide functionality that isn’t even supported yet in games (ABS feedback when braking). Also there is actually a clutch pedal for manual driving! You should really check this one out!

Here are some of Fanatec’s other wheels…

They also make a pretty good looking mount for the wheels and pedals (works with the MS wheel with an adapter)

I will probably get one of these stands, when I decide which wheel I want (I have no room for the cockpit).
Maybe we can get a review of Forza3 from some of the Pic-E-Bank members out there. I know at least 2 that have it…

Xbox 360 Video Card Fried
about 4 days ago - 2 comments
Well, I suppose I jinxed myself with my regular bragging of how I’ve never had problems with my 360. To be honest, it has been great; very reliable up to this point. However, tonight, I turned it on…everything worked fine…I connected to my media server….started playing a video and about 20 seconds into the video More >

Forza 3 Reviewed by IGN

“Simply put, Forza 3 is one of the best racers ever made.”—–IGN
Finally a detailed review of one of the most anticipated future titles on Xbox 360. I’m not completely sure how I’m going to like some of the features like the “auto-braking” and the “rewind” button. Seems like they are going to have to cripple More >

They claim that they now have patent protection over anyone providing the ability (usually via plug-ins) to embed user-interactive applications.

Mac Vs PC
Well, how freakin interesting…Seems no matter how much of an Apple Fanboy you are *cough*maveric*cough*, there are some things you just need a good PC for. Man, I think this pretty much sums it up. I suppose Apple is destined to play second fiddle.

Xbox 360 Repair

Well, my first attempt at repairing the dreaded 3 RROD on the 360 has gone well. It took about an hour and a half since it was my first time taking one apart. Anytime I try something like this for the first time I like to be careful until I see exactly how everything is More >

“Matthew Crippen was arrested yesterday for hacking game consoles (for profit) in violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. He was released on a $5,000 bond, but faces up to 10 years in prison. This is terribly disturbing to me; a man could lose 10 years of his freedom for providing the service of altering More >

Xbox 360 Media Woes
I know it’s an old article but I was talking with Frohboy about this so I decided to throw it up. Wish they would just port Boxee to the 360 and not just computers and the Apple TV. But anyway, maybe we will get Hulu at some point soon anyway. I’m not More >

That racing cockpit is ridiculous, $1295!!!!! But looks oh so amazing. My first thought though…..if a chick walks into your apartment and sees that thing….I predict she will laugh at you or think it is some sort of sex chair LOL!!! Unless it’s Danica Patrick, then she might want a ride
