Wheel is a lot of fun but takes a lot of practice to be good.

with the wheel is way more fun. I never really enjoyed GT games till I got GT4 with the Logitech wheel. the main downside is it's hard to find a ways to anchor the wheel and pedals down.

I ordered it.

I've come to the conclusion all "special" editions are a waste of money.

I have never bought a "wheel". However, i have had the opportunity to fly a flight simulator in a gyro sim (not sure what you would call it)

Changes the whole thing, but i'm sure the banking and the effect of gaining altitude...

Well, it's definitely not sitting there holding a controller.

if you actually want to have control and proper feedback the wheel >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> controller

after playing with a wheel like 6 years go, it's hard to play with a controller. it's really like driving a manual to a auto.

If you are interested in trying to get the whole feel of the game then go out and get a wheel. Personally I don't like playing the driving simulators without a wheel. If you have a controller I would stick to the NFS tittles.

Agreed, but saying stick to nfs if you don't have a wheel is rediculous. I plan on building a rig, but wheel/seat/etc is expensive.
