Any Xbox'rs out there?

I usually hear about PS2 and GT4 here but do any of you guys have an Xbox? Soon enough us Xbox guys will be able to talk about or own version of GT4, Forza Motorsports. From what i hear it comes out this wednesday. I really hope it lives up to the hype.

I've been playing the Forza demo that came out not too long ago (I think you can get it free from Best Buy, but I'm not sure).

The game has really realistic physics but is kinda ricy like NFSU. Lots of dress up options, but the racing seems more realistic then even GT4. I wonder if the body kits really affect your cars aero realisticly or not.

It'll be a strange beast, but I'll be sure to pick it up

I'll probably pick it up since it does looks so real but the only bad thing about it being on xbox is there is no wheel like there is for GT4

Agreed. I hate the XBOX controllers.

Try a Logitech Xbox wireless controller, shape is about 2 million times better (and the Ps2 pad is the most comfortable controller ever, so that's my frame of reference.)
I can't use any other controller, but that one rocks.

I'll pick up Forza, because I have an Xbox and might as well.

I think the Xbox S controllers are the best out there. The original ones are way too big, but the S ones aren't bad. About the same size/shape as the Logitech wireless ones.

Honestly, most of it is operator error.

I'm just too used to having a mouse and a keyboard. I go play xbox and get my *** kicked by a 12 year old. What's worse is his 4 year old (soon to be 5) brother who used to be cannon fodder in Halo2 is now catching on. Woe is me.

Has anyone tried any of the xbox steering wheel controllers? I know there are a few on the market.
