Which wheel is this? Is it the microsoft one. I don't think it is, they are releasing that with Forza 2 I think.

Interesting. Im looking for a decent quality construction and decent gameplay steering wheel (paddle shifters) with pedals and vibration and force feedback.

I shall wait and see... :)

Yes, they are releasing a force Feedback version of PGR3 with the Microsoft wheel.

I'd be happier if they just did a package with Forza 2, but it's better than nothing. Now if only TDU would support force feedback...

You mean it doesn't?

So it is the new microsoft wheel then? and they aren't bringing it out with Forza2?

You have a link to this info?

I haven't heard any details of bundles with Forza 2 yet, but that doesn't mean there won't be one announced in the future. I had heard of the Force Feedback PGR3 bundle a few days back, can't remember where though. On Amazon it does say "Microsoft" as the manufacturer of the wheel.

In some ways I would be surprised if there wasn't a Forza bundle. On the other hand M$ knows that most people will buy the wheel for Forza 2 and that they are likely to already have PGR3, so this way they would make more money by selling them seprate.

I am encouraged by that price point as in the US I heard it will probably be retailing for $150 with PGR3, which normally means the UK getting stuffed for over 100 quid.

I was hoping to have this wheel by October, but on the other hand I was expecting to pay something like 150 for the package with a game. Can't have everything my way I suppose.

Does anyone know if TDU supports force feedback?

I'd have expected the wheel in november, when Forza 2 is released. I think december is leaving things a bit late for the xmas rush.

no i dont even think it supports this wheel, i asked the producer at the atari event on the forum and he said no but cos he was frnch i didnt really understand and i think he just meant Force feedback although he said they are working on an update and so is bizarre creations so its not critical you get it ASAP but another copy of PGR3 would be good *EBAY*

Ahh, OK thanks..

I think it might support the wheel just not the FF. I think the wheel should work with all the driving games but only the ones which support FF will have it.
