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… :)

Forza 3 Reviewed by 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 these for multiplayer or there won’t be any fair races. Oh well, regardless, I know I’m taking it for a spin, how about you?

After the release, I’m sure several of us will be posting a review of it. Look forward to it.
