My 360 has been down for 3 months. Need to pick up a new one with all the great games out now. Especially BF3.

Anybody know a good wheel/pedal setup for the 360? I'd like to find a something decent for a reasonable price, but that doesn't look possible.

Thanks in advance.

This is one of those situations where;

The cheap ones aren't good.

The old Microsoft one was nice, but they broke a lot. It was also a PITA since I stored it in the bottom of a closet. At my next house I want a setup like George!

That is kind of what I figured. As much fun as it would be, I can't spend $400+ on it. I'll keep an eye on eBay for some used stuff though.

Anyone want to buy a busted xbox360 for cheap? Mine took a crap again. No red ring of death but it keeps freezing up. I'm just going to buy a new one.

Do the hard drives from the older ones work with the newer ones?

The new shiny black Xbox has a different form factor HDD but there's a data transfer cable for < $20.

Aaron - I was talking to Sean about BF3 and he seemed to like the gameplay. Have you had a chance to play anymore?

Steve - have you done any of the fixes on it (penny / xclamp / etc)? I'd be interested if you didn't

I'm not sure to be completely honest. It red ringed on me a couple years ago and my brother new someone that could fix it. No idea what was done to fix it but it's been fine all the way until now.
