XBOX 360 steering wheel setup that is nearly identical to the Ferrari 458 Italia, with pedals, for under $90. Suck it Fanatec!

Looks really nice, but .... Sounds like it doesnt actually have force feedback? Thats a critical drawback.
My microsoft wheel may kind of suck compared to all the awesome wheels not compatible with the 360, but it does have force feedback that is communicative enough that I will never play without it.
Ill be the first to admit I am a forza fanboy, and one too cheap to pony up for one of the expensive fanatec wheels.

I still kick myself for passing up a great deal on a used Fanatec a couple years ago.

finally got the press release to load for me...
"Under the bonnet dwells a “Bungee Cord” automatic centring system offering progressive resistance over a 270-degree angle"

I'm down with a $90 wheel. I haven't been super impressed with a force feedback wheel yet, so I'm hesitant to spend a big pile of money on a fancy one.
