    Or perhaps this setup would better fit your budget:

    You may want to see if some video stores in your area rent machines (PS3, 360) and try them out for a week.

    Also, if you like realistic the PS3 flagship racing game Gran Tourismo is long on pretty, short on realistic. Apparently they cant show damage modeling on the cars, (something to do with mfgs of the car not wanting damage...I'm not making this up). So if you hit a wall at 175mph, you just bounce.

    The 360 doesn't have the same damage constraints as the PS3 for some reason. I find it a bit more realistic in that fashion.

    Forza 2...hit a wall at 175, you'll be ejected as your car splinters around you. Same with DIRt. Check out the video here:

    Its impressive in the box, but if you d/l and watch full screen its even better. Then imagine with surround sound. If you are in car, you can hear the rocks hitting the undercarrige.
    Unfortunately, money is an object. Thanks for the cool links though.

    Well, if money is an object, head over here for a more modest injection of realism into your games:

    http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x...ssracingwheel/

    However, there are several other websites that sell it for a bit less. I think the one in BB actually comes with a free game...so thats a bonus. The Force Feedback is a nice feature, and lets you "feel" the rumble of the road. As a bonus, with an adapter it will work with any PC driving games you have as well.

    'Wireless' is a bit misleading as well. The controller is 'wireless' from the console, but it does require an outlet to power the rumble and such.

    BTW did you happen to check out the video?

    Thanks, I'll poke around to see what's available.

    No, can't view videos at work. No downloads aloud. I'll check it out at home later, if wifey gives up the computer for a minute.
