So Forza 4 is about a month away and I can't wait to get it. But finding a good force feedback wheel is a little tricky to find for the 360. Madcatz is releasing a wheel that seems like it'll be good but their has to be a somewhat cheaper alternative. Logitech has a great option, The Driving Force GT, that was around 150 bucks at release and boggles my mind that their isn't a similar wheel for 360. Also, I know their are a ton of non FFB wheels out there but those are just a complete joke. Has anyone heard any information on the cheaper wheel Turn 10 and Fanatec are working on, or possibly anything else?
Forza Motorsport 4
Game » consists of 7 releases. Released Oct 11, 2011
The fourth installment of Turn 10's Motorsport racing franchise, released in Fall 2011. It features 16 player online races, dynamic race conditions, cars from over 80 manufacturers, and compatibility with Kinect, both on and off the racetrack.
So how bout that force feedback wheel?
If they can make a FFb wheel that will allow you to feel the way you would feel if you were driving and can be used cross platform, my complaints would be silenced.

@grayfox1210: The CSR wheel by Fanatec was put on their website earlier this week. It's $250, and works for all three platforms, so not really an inexpensive option. I got a GT2 wheel from them last week which is awesome (not complaining about the timing, I'd rather have the GT2 over the CSR), but the new wheel is supposed to be shipped by October 15th, and from what I've read they've had problems hitting deadlines in the past.
Either way, Fanatec is definitely not a cheap option, but it's a very good one. The search for the decently priced, and decently quality level wheel for the 360 continues.
Yeah I saw that earlier this morning. I was hoping it would be under the $200 range but I guess that will have to do. It would be quite ironic playing with a Porsche wheel while playing Forza 4.
If I were to buy a wheel, I would buy a Madcatz one. Their TE sticks are of very good quality, and I'm very pleased with them. They are on par with the HORI equivalent, which is a huge accomplishment. If this wheel is of the same level of quality as their TE stick, then it's a no-brainer.
Yeah I'm definitely going for the Madcatz one. The Fanatec wheel is 250 WITHOUT pedals. That's just pants on head retarded to me.
@grayfox1210: You're getting an extremely high-quality wheel for that price, and it allows you to select from several different types of pedals. I guess if you're just playing Forza then it's impractical, but someone who buys a Fanatec wheel isn't just going to use it for Forza.
@slowbird: I just mainly need a wheel for the 360. I'm quite happy with my Driving Force GT. Maybe sometime in the future I'll grab a Fanatec when I want to deal with a clutch and an actual 5 speed shifter. That Madcatz one is just too hard to pass up.
