FooAtari: Thats not Codemasters fault though, MS only allow certain companies to produce third party controllers. Currently I beleive the only companies are Fanatec and Mad Catz

That's not correct. There are Logitech controllers for the 360 like the Wireless Guitar Controller or even their low budget steering wheel DriveFX. Xbox 360 support would be the only reason to buy a G27. Otherwise I see no reason why I should dump my G25 for the G27.

homerfreak: As you can see in my screenshot, Dirt2 wont’t run with the G27 on the XBOX, so I don’t think it will be 360-compatible at all.

Im saving for a new wheel. Its a toss between the non released G27 or Fanatec right now. I will wait and see what Logitech does with the G27 first.

hopefully it´s cheaper than the fanatec…I was already saving money for the fanatec but if the G27 has vibration in the pedals and there are adjustable than I will buy the G27.

Jos: I hope they make it xbox compatible, then I might consider buying an xbox + forza3, xbox needs a good wheel, yes there is fanatec but they have limited supplies and you can’t buy it in a store.

Uuhh… this is truly splendid.

Now, when I can buy G27? ’cause I need new one to replace my present G25, which has its own problems, I can drive though.
