couldn't agree more, if the 360 gets those controllers for their console there would be competition but the ps3 would offer no competition on that field.

[quote=Sovieto]well as it turns out 360 too has a wireless steering wheel, so you can get quality racing and racing simulation games with the steering wheel AND graphics. wouldnt be surprised if ps3 had one as well...

Can you pop wheelies, and do tricks by lifting the controller up and down with the 360 wireless steering wheel also? Little moves like this makes it unique, fun, and immersion to the game.

last time i checked when people go off ramps they just shake the steering wheel wildly to do something at random.

You can shake wildly when you do tricks from ramps to gain boosts or for fun but it'll mess you up if you don't do it properly which is a simple technique. There's 3 ways to do tricks for fun or gain boosts: shake upwards(usually backflips/handstands), sideways(usually spins), or downwards(usually frontflips).
You can pop wheelies by lifting the wiimote upwards and end the wheelie by lowering it down. Imo this beats the hell out of pressing buttons. Another cool thing about it also is the drifting technique. I can't really explain this one, you'd just have to learn/experience this one yourself, especially if you're into drift racing.

is it just me, or are people constantly trying to use the "WOW MOTION SENSING" arguement to say the wii is awesome?

shake upwards to do a backflip? Ok...do another...and another...and another...yeah not really that amazing is it? Instead of pressing a button that makes you perform a backflip, you now shake your control upwards to perform a backflip...

ei ei eiiiii
