A little advice required please. I have just got my first ever console, Xbox. I think I want a steering wheel. The question is, should I buy a force feedback wheel for xbox use? There don't seem to be too many wheels out there with FF on xbox. Is this because it doesn't work too well on xbox or the games don't support it? I have found the Joytech Nitro Triforce which looks kinda nice for the money (sub 50quid direct from joytech) but if FF doesn't really work then I can get an adequate wheel for much less.
Advice appreciated.
Carl.

You need a special version of PGR3 to support the FF steering wheel.

I think the drivers were in the latest patch actually, so if you've already got PGR3 you should be able to use the wheel as intended.

Edit: but it looks like we're talking about the original xbox. You're a bit out of luck for wheels there, they only made fairly crap ones for it and no good FF ones.

Steve, yeah I am talking orig xbox. The joytech wheel says it uses FF emulation. But if the general concensus is that FF and xbox just dont go together then I may aswell buy a 2nd hand wheel from ebay and maybe save a few quid. Any recommendations?
Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Unfortunately they never programmed in any sort of Force Feedback for it, so pretty much any wheel you can come across for it would be a good bet, I wouldn't of thought you would have to pay much for one these days either.

Bought the X360 Wheel yesterday but got to wait for xmas (aaargh!)
It comes bundled with the FF version of PGR3 so after chrissy I will have a copy og PGR3 to sell. It will go towards Forza for X360 in the spring.
