New Xbox 360 Accessories With Big Pics
The Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel (release date: fall, price TBD) is in development internally at Microsoft by several members from the Microsoft Sidewinder team. The first-party design has a thick, contoured rubber pad for lap usage, and a sturdy clamp for table usage. The wireless steering wheel comes with F1-style shift paddles and pedals equipped with a medal rim to anchor your heels while playing.
The existing battery life is the same as the wireless controller and, by using the AC adaptor, you'll get force feedback. There are two levels of feedback, the basic rumble motors that pick up wheels on gravel and low-level rumbles, and force feedback, from the actual car performance -- slides, crashes, etc. The same rechargeable unit that works for the controllers works with the Xbox 360 wireless steering wheel. The wheel comes with full Dpad usage, ABXY buttons, and a guide button. It comes in one color, "chill white."
Xbox 360 Wireless Headset. The Xbox 360 Wireless Headset integrates seamlessly with the Xbox 360 console to provide wireless voice chat, stylish ergonomic design and superior voice quality over the Xbox Live network. Now gamers can pair this and the award-winning Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for the ultimate wireless experience. Gamers can use up to four Wireless Controllers and Wireless Headsets simultaneously during multiplayer gaming sessions (ERP TBA).
Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows. Gamers can get the most out of current and future Xbox 360 wireless accessories with the new Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows. By plugging the compact receiver into a USB 2.0 port on the PC, the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, Xbox 360 Wireless Headset and Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel can be used on a second platform (ERP TBA).
Xbox Live Vision. The Xbox Live Vision video camera seamlessly integrates with the Xbox 360 system and Xbox Live network to bring interactive social gaming to life. The camera allows gamers to personalize their gaming experience with their own unique gamer picture, send photo messages, and chat by video with friends and family over Xbox Live (ERP TBA).
Xbox 360 HD DVD Player. The Xbox 360 HD DVD Player connects with Xbox 360 to deliver even more high-definition content through blockbuster HD DVD releases from major Hollywood and international movie studios. The HD DVD Player delivers superior high-definition-quality video and stunning digital surround sound with Xbox 360. It includes the Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote (ERP TBA).

They all look rather good, the steering wheel looks tops.
MS seem to be thinking everything through this time round it all looks like it belongs together, unlike before, it seemed a case of 'oh that'll do, get in on shelfs'.

The HD drive doesn't seem to have a HDMI connection. How will it play HD movies as most of them will be protected and therefore unable to play through component.

Thats the catch, I don't believe anything has been confirmed regarding HDCP yet 
It only works through HDMI or DVI, not USB . . . . keen to see what MS are doing about this. Hope its not going to downgrade the video
I'm sure MS have though of this and will unveil their cunning plan in due course
I'd expect something to provide extra digital outputs with HDCP or some deal struck with Intel

I have to say the dvd unit does look like a mockup. Just look at the drive door compared the 360 one, definately a retouch.
But hey aslong as it plays HD DVD and its reasonably priced then its all good...

But most GFX cards have DVI ports on them so a software solution is pretty simple. The 360 on the other hand has no such port at present.
