I just got Burnout 2 and it's great, and it made me look into buying a wheel to add more fun.

But I don't want to spend $70 on a Logitech<wheel($45) and pedal($25)>
so, I found this "V-Thunder Racing Wheel" made by Interact($15)

Anyone own this wheel?
how is it? is it responsive enough not to ruin the gameplay?

personally i won't want to get a racing wheel because they break easily and i love using analog for racing. You are lucky that I am the only one to care to reply back to u!

Actually, I haven't replied because I don't own a wheel. Since I decided against its purchase, I'll let you in on something... Up on eBay is a used Mad Catz Universal (Cube, PS1/2, Xbox) MC2 steering wheel. Very well rated by many sites, just head to madcatz.com to read the reviews. Anyway, unless someone else has made a bid already, you're looking at $15 for the wheel and $5 for shipping. Auction ends tomorrow (sometime in the very early evening). The Logitech one can be had for a hefty discount. Just search PriceGrabber.com for the Speed Force and get a $1 (don't remember how much was shipping) accessory pack (pedals and lap mount) from eBay.

I'm a 2nd prize winner in Nintendo Power's February (?) sweepstakes, so I'll be receiving the Logitech Force Feedback wheel, the pedals, and NASCAR Thunder 2003. I don't know how soon they'll send it tho, they said something like "we'll reply with the prize in 8 weeks" or something (friggin long time, considering I got Burnout 2 today).

But the reviews I've read for the Logitech wheel were very positive.

I have the PS2 version of the Logitech Wheel (also works on the PC), and it's a very good wheel. I got it when GT3 came out for $100 (camw with some free speakers)...it's worth the price for both parts.

I have the Logitech wheel, and it is very high quality and worth the money if you play a lot of racing games. Since it's officially licensed, it should see a lot of support, but keep in mind that since it's a force feedback wheel, the game MUST support it for it to work. I'll have a review up soon.

I had been holding out on buying the Logitech Speed Force just waiting for word on newer titles that support it. I read a lot of the previews for B:2 and was hoping like hell that it would offer support.

After seeing the mention in the review at PGC my decision was made.

Now I just need that IRS return....
