Granted, it has a new form of forcefeedback that changes to be similar to driving a car and gas pedals but that is still a very excessive price.

$500+$60 Forza 5+$400 for ultimate racing experience+$60 for PS, I mean GOLD=$1020

That's a bit to much. Sadly, they know it's the best option because even the most die hard won't take the "alternate" option at the bottom of same article. HOWEVER, you can use the 360 wheels or so they say.

I will say it looks pretty cool though.

That's not the official wheel. Most of these premium wheels have a premium price tag as well nothing new. What sucks is that they won't be compatible cross gen smh

As much as I hate to admit, I would get the Mad Catz wheel over this one. That wheel is sick!

Kinect is suppose to replace all these accessory. Kinect can read thought and blood sugar level. TLHBO.

If I'm spending that much on a racing wheel, it at least needs a clutch pedal and a 5 speed shifter. I don't like the shifters they have more than I like the old school 4 and 5 speed shifters.

So who says, where? In the interview cited by the article, they specifically state that Xbox 360 wheels are not compatible with the Xbox One.

But yeah, sweet looking wheel. (And you forgot to include the cost of a racing cockpit. :P)

You'll be able to get cheaper wheels and I'm sure there are racing wheels like this for the PS4 as well. No one is going to pay that much for a one of these unless they are rich.

TC seems to have a hard time understanding the difference between a official MS product and 3th party !

Ouch, thats a hefty price, but I assume that this is for the enthusiasts, so they will have no problem paying for something like this. And no where does it say that this is the "OFFICIAL" racing wheel. Its just a 3rd party racing wheel.

That's the Ferrari edition. You do realize that's not the only wheel available for XB1, right?
