Racing wheel price drop...worth it?

[Lord Helmet]

The wireless racing wheel dropped to $99 this week...anyone think that its worth it to pick one up? Does anyone have one of these things?

I dont have the wheel but have heard good things about it.

Here is a link to a thread where we were discussing the wheel, maybe it'll help...

Any wheel will be 1000 better than a gamepad for driving games no matter how good or bad it is.

Only get it if you have some way of setting it up properly, like a table or racing seat thing. Using it on your lap is a waste of time.

My buddy has it and its probably one of the best wheels I've used. However It has a wire that attaches to the foot pedals and if you want rumble and force feedback you also have to plug it into the wall......not exactly wireless.

 

 

Just a heads up.

I have a table that would work great, I'm just not sure I'd like it enough to spend that kind of cash. I wish I could try it out first.

If your into the true simulating racing experience, get this wheel! You will not be disappointed. Feedback is great, wheel resistance is true. For games like Forza...it is the Shiz-night!

If Burnout or other arcade like racing games are your liking, I could see this wheel not living up to your demands. A controller would still be your best bet. To me, the wireless wheel is best suited for the racing sim games.
