My sone works at a Mall VideoGame store and he's already heard reports
of many Xbox 360 power supplies are cooking and dieing..

A power supply that big cooking could cause an international incident...

I second (third? fourth?) the request for ANY information on where to
find this in the U.S. Any word from Thrustmaster themselves yet on the
issue?

I'm in the market for a new wheel, but if this is as good as it appears
to be, I'll hold off on buying the Logitech DFP like I intended until
now.

for me the timing couldn't be better for a new wheel. I hope we can find
a source.

TRAP the Ghosties.

True.... But they say the site says FF is partly belt-driven which may mean
a very smooth feel for those that think the DFP is notchy (not saying it
is). Also, it has four paddles, two of which are "progressive." Excellent
for those that need wheel mounted brake/gas or for those that need a wheel
mounted clutch. I'm anxious to hear some user feedback though I wonder if
it'll ever come to the US.

I just realized, there isn't any indication of degrees rotation. Or am I
missing something?
