Forza 2 package and Xbox 360

As its looking like the PS3 is going to be very expensive, and by that time the 360 will have been reduced in price, its very likely that i'll be treating myself to a full 360 system this Xmas

So, is there any news on a Forza 2 package with wheel coming this winter?

I'd want a 360 premium with all the bits, plus the wireless wheel and Forza 2 - I reckon they must be releasnig a package like this for circa £500 - that would kill off PS3 sales in one hit

The next decision is whether I sell off the Xbox1 and PS2 with all 50 ish original games - I know I wouldn't get much for them, but I dont want 3 systems as i'll run out of room.

Anyone got any news on a Forza 2 package?

Gameplay list Forza 2 as 24th November.

I'd imagine a package you list would be nowhere near £500 - nearer £400. £250ish for console, games I expect will drop to £40 to come inline with online prices / Tesco. no idea how much the wheel will be though but I doubt it'll be £200.

Problem with that is Tesco and the online companies operate out of the channel islands, meaning that they don't pay the VAT.

I got rid of my PS2 and havent missed it, kept the old Xbox as I only have 1 360 game and it keeps the kids off the new one !

To be honest I still think the original Xbox a great bit of kit and cracking value.

Sony are going to have to pull something very special out of the bag if its only going to be fanboys and those who simply must have every console that buy it.

Anyone know if Microsoft plan to do any drivers for the Driving Force Pro to use on the 360? It works fine in Windows so why would they not want it to work on the 360?

Forza 2 could finally be the alternative to Gran Turismo but would want to use the Driving Force Pro.

OK so absolutely no chance of any DFP drivers then if Microsoft are going to be pushing their own hardware.

Doubtful for the immediate future anyways, there are third party wheels coming out tho. I would of thought if it was usb it would probably work anyways?

Cheers for the link but the problem is when you have paid a fair amount of wedge on one already very good wheel (currently the best out there) its a waste of money having to keep buying more, especially if you're spending nearly £300 for a console and then £35-£50 for games.

The DFP is USB though but its not compatable with a normal xbox tha has USB so doubt Microsoft would have made it work on the 360.

Has anybody tried?

I doubt that pgr has support for any wheel, other than that there is no other real racer's available.

I'd say Forza will be the first game to be compatable, so until then i guess we wont know if it will work or not.

I regularly play with someone who uses the MadCatz wheel on PGR3 - he's a pain in the backside due to the amount of feedback and hiss that everyone else gets, so he has to either unplug his headset or everyone else mutes him...
