Haven't played it, but it looks interesting. Gotta wonder about its Mac compatibility.

definitely looks interesting... I can't afford (re: justify) an XBox 360 either right now...

However, I was able to justify a used Xbox along with Forza 1and PGR1 & 2 for $70 total from the used gaming store in the local mall.

Looks good, I don't have a wheel for my computer though. Playing wih the keyboard can't be good.

LOL good one.

I am checking out the game too. I had been using the Live for Speed Demo for a while, but maybe I can move onto this one.

Wheels are cheap if you poke around. There are some that can be used on some consoles as well as on a PC, those might be a good solution to avoid having a bunch of extra gear around.
