Microsoft Unveils Xbox 360 Racing Bundle With Speed Wheel
Written Tuesday, May 29, 2012 By Richard Walker

Microsoft has today revealed the Xbox 360 250GB Racing Bundle, which shoves a 250GB console into a box with a copy of Forza Motorsport 4 and a Wireless Racing Wheel.

Forza 4 and the Wireless Wheel add up to a $110 value when sold separately, so the MSRP of $299 represents a rather good deal.

You'll be able to get your hands on the Xbox 360 250GB Racing Bundle in mid-June, although it's presently only planned for release in the US it seems.

Why use a steering wheel when you can BE the controller? Right Microsoft?

I can't tell if all those thumbs down are from the thumbs down troll. Are people really mad at me or is the troll off the leash again?

Would of made sense to include some decals for the console to give it a theme.

@9

If it's -12, then it's most likely the troll.

Always wanted to get a racing wheel, it would probably feel more natural than a controller. Also still need a slim and Forza 4, hmmmm....

They're just looking for ways to continue to push 360 console sales. With E3 around the corner and a probable 720 announcement coming soon, they have to keep 360 sales going. This is a bit late for me; they should have pushed this at x-mas when Forza was still new. No thanks.

I bought the wireless steering wheel yesterday for 20 quid, and at that price its a steal really, but i don't really see why they're hyping the $110 value up for, aint that much =/

That wireless steering wheel seems like a chore more than a fun peripheral. I would much rather use a full blown steering wheel and peddles.

Gotta love bundles though.

Would be a good price for someone looking for a new console with 250 gig HD. You could turn around and sell forza and the wheel for a hundred bucks

The wheel doesn't have a shifter? How is it supposed to help me drive then?

"Better with Kinect" "So here's a wheel that'll basically be the same price, but buy Kinect anyway, because apparently it's better." This bundle makes no sense. Tons of other bundles with a good deal. I will give it props however for it being a 250gb, and not 4gb, since 4gb can't even hold the entire game of Forza 4.

I have the Original 360 Racing Wheel with Force Feedback. I don't need a Wii Wheel knock-off. I use a Racing Wheel to make it more like you are Really Racing, & this is just a joke.

My bet is that this is their way of moving these silly wheels that didn't sell. Personally I'd rather see a price drop on the 250g model since my old white ones keep dying.

@1 I'd say possibly to get rid of extra stock of the wireless wheel for one, I have this odd feeling it probably didn't sell as well as it could've. Also I guess considering the next xbox is currently in development and hopefully ready to go for holiday season next year, they'd definitely want hardware to be flying out the door in preparation for this.

On a different note... I hope the next console's 3rd party controllers are better next time around, this gen's 3rd party hardware has mainly been very hit & miss (mostly miss).

US only .
Right because the last time I checked Americans were twice as passionate about racing games than the Europeans sarcasm.

This would be like launching a Fifa bundle for the us only stupid.

arron115 go elsewhere! or even better go actually shout that kind of abuse to someone in the real world so they can kick the shit out of you.

On topic, maybe the lawsuit with motorola has something to do with the increased bundles????

That wheel is such cack anyway. How the hell are you meant to simulate force feedback when it isn't connected to anything! The old MS Wireless one is brilliant! I can't for the life of me understand why they stopped making them. Idiots!
