New X360 Accessories Impressions

Bah. No it's not, you're still talking apples and oranges. A wifi router wasn't ever meant to be portable, but whatever. You can bitch all you like, I'm tired of arguing with you over this.

you think a racing wheel is meant to be portable

I'm not a big racing fan so I will pass on the wheel, but I would think you would want it sitting on a table or something, I don't think any one is going to be walking around and using it

my live subscription will be over in a couple months so the $79 camera is looking quite nice

Third parties are not allowed to release wireless accessories, hard drives or force feedback wheels at this time.

I would LOVE to see a generic harddrive adapter for the 360. Seriously, $100 could go sooooo much farther with the harddrive. 7200RPM harddrive might serve to speed up load times a bit, even a 2.5" one.

A wheel was never meant to be portable either. It's the same thing.

Im just wondering, does the wheel include feet paddles for gas, clutch, or brake? It would be sweet if it does.

 

[J_Saint]

Gas and brake pedals are included with the wheel. No clutch.

The wireless mic is so awesome.

They should make it standard. Main reason I dont use the mic is all the wires.

Seriously you rig a 360 up with wireless controller, wireless mic, hooked to live, it's like something out of the future. People from ten years ago would be like "woah".

That's the way to go with peripherals IMO. Make them cool so it's a "want" rather than need.

I agree; the wireless headset looks bitchin'. I wonder if you can have 4 (wireless) controllers AND headsets going all at the same time, or if the headset uses one of the controller channels...

As for the wheel not being portable, well, if that is so then why is it designed so you can keep it on your lap and run it on a battery pack? Just because it's bulky don't mean it suddenly turns stationary; if that was some kind of definition then what would you people call a surfing board then if not portable? A cruise ship?

Have you compared the price with other Force Feedback wheels? It's half the price of Logitech's.

I don't know if this has been replied to already but compare what the logitech 300$ wheel offers compared to this one. 900 degrees turn, stick for changing gears (A Must IMO) and most likely better performance all together. So if I'd take a racing wheel, logitech would be the way to go.

But thats just my opinion.

Should work no problem. I think I heard somewhere they have 40 channels or something like that...

Edit: from the specs - 'Use up to four Wireless Controllers and Wireless Headsets simultaneously on one Xbox 360 for the most intense multiplayer gaming sessions ever.'

I like the wireless headset, steering wheel, and wireless dongle for PC's.
