Xbox 360 Steering Wheel Price Drop

Now you can finally attack those 80 degree turns at a constant speed rate

With powerful racers such as Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition, the Project Gotham Racing series, Forza 2 Motorsport and NFS Carbon, Xbox 360 gamers are sure to get bored of the 360's classic controller, even if it is wireless. Thus, for racing fans, the Xbox 360 Wireless Steering Wheel is the best controller they could use. Nothing you didn't know already, but what if I told you that sites like Amazon.com can give it to you for $129.99 (former priced at $149.99)?

That's right. Now you can get your Wireless Wheel for 20 bucks less than the original price. Not only does it feature a sleek design, but also cutting edge dual Rumble motors and powerful Force Feedback, making it a masterpiece of form and function, as the official Xbox website describes it.

Here's why this controller is a must-have asset for your indoors computer entertainment system from Microsoft:

- Drive with confidence and zero loss of performance knowing that the wheel is powered by the same award winning wireless technology used in the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller. - High quality Force Feedback performance replicates the yanks and shudders that a racecar driver feels while blasting around the oval. - Real world automotive design with comfortable and intuitive ergonomics immerses you in the action with a uniquely authentic racing experience. - Choose the Lap mount or the Table mount to race the way you want to. - Fully Supported with Force Feedback

I can tell you one reason why this is a must-have asset and they don't speak about it in any of the controller's descriptions. Even though most controllers today (no matter the console) have analog sticks, trying to steer a car while keeping a constant speed rate is a major pain in the butt. Using the original Xbox 360 Steering Wheel, not only will you be able to take 80 degree turns like never before, but will do so from the comfort of your couch/armchair, 20 feet away from the TV set or more (if you can see that far).

I'm sure that there are some of you out there that wanted one of these but couldn't afford it. It's not exactly a bargain now either, but it's 20 bucks cheaper than before. I'd say it doesn't get much better than this.
