Pre-Christmas Price Cut for 360 Steering Wheel; Festive 360 Bundles Too

Microsoft has dropped the price of its popular racing wheel by $30, hoping to target Christmas shoppers sporting a new $99 price-tag.

The wheel features force-feedback and is compatible with the format’s top racing games, including the recent PGR4, but shines when used with the excellent Forza 2 – with this tandem of peripheral and game creating the experience of a true driving simulation.

A potential trap for Holiday buyers is an Xbox 360 bundle including two games; Forza Motorsport 2 (why not get a wheel too?) and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. You’re looking at $349.99 for the standard Xbox 360 and these games, whilst an Elite system takes the price up to $449.99.

Being Christmas, now is the time to sell consoles, and Microsoft are doing all they can to get their share of the shopper’s cash this year.
