Don't know if it's in the goos section (feel free to move it where it belongs)

I'm looking to buy a steering wheel+pedal that can works with the Xbox360 AND PC

It's ok to play PCars, S2U and F4 with a controller but I feel it's about time to upgrade

It can be new/used and if possible under 150$
Thx

with the quality of the wheels in the sub $100 price range, you'd be better off sticking with the Xbox controller.

For pc and 360, you'll need to go with Fanatec's 360 compatible wheels.
Mad Catz came out with a force feedback wheel for the 360, but I don't know if it's pc compatible or not. That model is $250, so might as well look into the Fanate.

The original MS 360 wireless wheel doesn't work well on pc at all, so if you see that out there, it's best avoided unless you want it for 360 only. There are no drivers for it on pc, but it will operate somewhat. You get no force feedback and the steering is simply bad.

it seems to be quite complicated to find a wheel that will fit both, so I might take only 1 for the PC

How about the THRUSTMASTER RGT FORCE FEEDBACK PRO ?
or a THRUSTMASTER f430?
Could have each for less than 120$

For a budget wheel for the PC i don't think you can go wrong with a Driving Force GT.. Try to get one second hand as they are pretty much bulletproof, apart from the poor pedals. However, in this price range the pedals on all wheels are much of a muchness.

Sorry if I didnt updated, but I bought last week a used logitech driving force pro for 60$.
I don't think it works on the Xbox though, but it's doing very well on PCARS.
Wayyyyyyyy easier to drive than a controller driving

D'oh, if I had realised the date on the post i probably wouldn't have responded.. However, the DFP was my wheel of choice for years.. It's a great wheel but you are correct, no Xbox compatibility.

Still doesn't work well on pc, I found it not worth bothering and got a G27 for pc. They should've put out drivers like they were supposed to and supported it properly.
I'd really like to get that Fanatec to use with my G27 pedals to tie it all into one these days.
