wow this is so genius on MS part. they were probably sitting in a meeting talking about how GT5 will be one of the biggest threats to the Xbox360 as it will boost PS3 sales. And this is the obvious easiest solution to making sim racing more attractive solution on the Xbox360. Good strategy, and does anybody know if that wheel will work on PC?

Well you would need a pretty decent battery to handle wireless Force feedback. Were talking mega big like for instancwe for laptop batteries the average size is oh about 8 cells what this would need if I had to guess would be around 20 cells if not more just to last about an hour with force feedback
