A new MSFFW box, and the wheel was, at least cosmetically, different.
The grips are now red. The center hub section was not black, but a grey-ish
color. The center "Force" button was also a bit different.
Other than that, I noted no differences. The two boxes are very different,
however.
I looked at the UPC and they both still said MSFFW v1.0 USB yada yada yada.
Oh, and there was a sticker on the new box saying "#1 selling Force-Feedback
Wheel".
You'd think that if it's the #1 selling wheel, they would get off their
asses and update the stupid software for a change. It's been over TWO YEARS
since you've touched it Microsoft!
I still think it's hilarious that Microsoft awarded themselves Windows XP
WHQL Lab certification on software that tells you it's not compatible with
2K/XP when you try to install it. LOL!
