Thrustmaster did amazing job on this one... By S. Andonov
Finally, an awesome wheel for XBOX 360, it feels like you are driving a real car, amazing vibration, very comfy to use! I like that I can fold it and put it under the bed. I usually don't write too many reviews, but this product really deserve such. I highly recommend it!Just alright. For the money you could do much better! By C. Perry
This wheel, pedal and stand combo is just ok. It's a great concept, and the convenience of having an all-in-one package really appealed to me. However, I'm sending this back. As the product details reveal, this wheel does NOT have force feedback - no big deal if you've never played with a wheel that has force feedback, I suppose. The wheel also feels a bit too small - no big deal if you're a kid or an adult with small hands. I would also caution that the vibration it does have is very, very weak. In fact, my handheld controller has stronger vibration than this wheel/pedal/stand combo, even when I have the vibration setting cranked up to the fullest. Also, even though the base/pedal stand is very stable, the more you extend the steering column, the more susceptible to up and down, left and right movement the whole setup becomes. This is particularly important NOT to have for gamers like me who sit back in a reclining position in a gaming chair to simulate the cockpit feel of driving a sports car.
I separately own a Thrustmaster Ferrari F430 Force Feedback Racing Wheel for my PS3, which I've mounted to a Wheelstand Pro wheel stand and I am quite pleased with the solid feel and seemingly larger wheel size of that Thrustmaster product. I have written a separate review for that awesome wheel and pedal set. I really wish Thrustmaster offered that exact same wheel for the XBox. However, seeing as they don't, I'm sending this Vibration GT Cockpit 458 Italia Edition for XBox product back as I've decided to spend just a little bit more and order a Fanatec force feedback CSR wheel and pedal set, coupled with a Wheelstand Pro stand. Odd that Amazon does not carry Fanatec wheels, but they seem to be highly rated in reviews and gaming forums all over the internet.Thrustmaster VG for Xbox By JO
This wheel is awesome. Very easy to set up and lots of fun to drive this way versus the standard controller. Highly recommended.
