Honestly I cannot even remember when the debacle about this steering wheel started… I think it was around June last year but I could be wrong.
I have heard many different reasons as to why we never received the official Xbox 360 steering wheel and all of them have been pretty weak to be honest.
But finally we have some good news, over on Waggy’s blog he has announced that we will finally be seeing the Xbox 360 steering wheels in retail stores nationwide.. sometime soon..
The price hasn’t been confirmed but we are looking in the R1199-R1299 range, hey just R700 more and you can get a Xbox 360 Arcade…
So is it worth the cost?

I remember an artice where they said these things were catching on fire! That doesn’t seem like a weak excuse to me…

catching on fire because, they’re so hot? 😎 or literally catching on fire cause that’d be bad 😕

Literally catching on fire, well emitting smoke at least. I’m sure in reality it was only a very small percentage of occurances but that’s not something you risk. That is of course if the story was true.

It was. It happened only if it was plugged in and the force feedback was enabled. It’s fixed now, there was a recall across the board.

Why would somebody want this steering wheel over the Logitech steering wheel for the 360 ❓ 😕

And this one is wireless, and has proper force feedback.
