Don't know how many are into games like Forza 2or 3 but I just picked up the MS wireless racing wheel for $49.99 at Best Buy. They seem to be disappearing from webstores as BB doesn't even show them online and Walmart is out of stock. Guessing this is a "if they have" and "while supply lasts" deal.
Must be discontinuing them and coming out with a new model or leaving wheels to third party developers? I don't know and don't care, for $50 I just added a whole lot more fun to playing Forza3 (which I got through Goozex, basically for free, by trading a few old games ). |

Do you think Civ IV would be difficult to play using a touchpad on a laptop? Is it something that absolutely needs a mouse due to the amount of management involved?

Last time I saw 'em at work, they were still $99. I haven't seen 'em recently, so maybe they did a clearance-and-poof while I was in California. Would be a bummer; I'd have picked one up for that price. Alas. |

I agree, and even if you're not a racing fan, you most likely drive a car, and this can make a racing game extremely fun!

Is this XB360 and PC compatible or just one or the other? May have to look at it for that price if any are left around? |

I thought just for the 360. However on the bottom of the box it says... Quote:
You'll either have to look around or call your local Best Buy as it no longer shows up online so the "in stock store locate" feature isn't available. It is so worth $50, I am having a blast with Forza 3. Was slightly concerned as some user reviews were critical, to a ranting level, about how the wheel handled. Must have been some 12 year olds whiners without a clue because it does a great job. I don't even have it table mounted(playing with it on my lap) and it still is a dream to use. No slipping off at all and the pedals are very responsive with a nice resistance to them. |

For those with the Xbox360 wireless wheel, some people (including myself) found the pedal settings to be a little off, especially if you turn off ABS and Traction Control. Consider setting your deadzone insides to zero and the deadzone outsides to full.
Glad to hear you're enjoying Forza Sweed. I've gotten away from my dynasty report the past few weeks, but I'll probably be getting back into it here shortly with the new Exotics car pack being released tomorrow.

I went a little Steam-crazy this past weekend. Tropico 3, Torchlight, Portal (free), the Indie pack, Freedom Force +the sequel/add-on.
Don't know when I'm even going to get the time to play them with FBCB & FM10 taking all my time these days.

What was that, 40 bucks total? Pretty good value for that amount of cash.

At least, B2G1 is what the website says. I'm reading that the coupon may be working as B1G1, but that makes me wonder if GS would just cancel those orders.

OK, I just feel like an idiot now. ;- )
In my defense, I've been heavily medicated for about 3 weeks.

Trying to decide which Mario Galaxy deal to do:
Wal-Mart $20 online gift card Gamestop $20 future purchase Amazon $20 future purchase Best Buy - some crappy number of RZ points (500, I think, so $10) Now if it were a regular Wal Mart gift card, the choice is easy. But how often do you buy something from their online store? And the other two are video game only. Amazon works better since I get more deals from them but Gamestop does have their moments, particularly on their B2G1 sales. SI

I went for Amazon, particularly since they frequently do the pre-order bonuses, which makes for the ability to chain from one to the next. Use the $20 from Mario on a preorder of a game with a $20 bonus, and use that bonus on a preorder of a game with a bonus, etc. |

That's why I ended up doing, too, and for just that reason. If it's still going next week, I'll pick up NSMB Wii for $35 + $10 bonus with the $20 code when I get it, so that'll be $15 with a $10 bonus. But I bet it will have expired by then since they only did it to price match EB/GS. Oh, Gamespot just gave Galaxy 2 a 10 as well. Their list of 10s is as follows: MGS4, GTA4, Chrono Cross, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, Soul Calibur, and Ocarina of Time. SI

I got SMG2 in the mail today. I can't break it out until my son finishes 1, per conditions set out by me (because its technically his) and enforced by the wife. He's almost there, I need to spur him on. He's 7, so the attention span is sometimes lacking.
