I am in the process of *finally* deciding on which wheel I should buy (Non-FF) and came across a listing (at a Canadian on-line vendor http://www.softonline.com/pc/pc135.htm for a non FF Microsoft Sidewinder USB wheel that is due to be released soon. It sells for $99 CAN (appx $60 US). I couldn't find any info on the MS site about this upcoming product. Anyone else heard of it? I did have my choices narrowed to a TM Nascar Pro or the Mad Catz Andretti (I liked the USB feature). This might complicate things. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know.

This wheel is the Microsoft SideWinder Precision Racing Wheel. I just bought one for $79.99 at CompUSA. It IS USB. It's strange that I could find nothing about it on the MS site! I've tried it out for a few hours. I have no complaints at this point. Actually it seems like a pretty good quality wheel if one is not interested in the force feedback. BD
