Looks like the Microsoft Wheel is $99.99 US from best buy and The Fanatec the wheel is $249.99, the pedals are either 49.99 or $199.99 and the additional shifters are $49.99. The prices for the Fanatec I got from their website.
The Fanatec is supposed to be a really nice wheel with a lot more features than the Microsoft wheel but it is quite pricey. The Microsoft wheel I have has pretty good force feedback but the pedals do not have a ton of feel. I would say that the reason to move to the Fanatec would be to take advantage of having a clutch pedal as well as better feel with the pedals (especially the clubsport ones that they offer). It sounds like the wheel has a smoother and stronger force feedback as well. I have never tried one in person as I don't know anyone who has one near me.

I don't adjust mine too much. Haven't played this in a few weeks. Been playing Need For Speed Shift.
Sweet pics!
I usually just take mine while I am racing. If you actually take the time to just drive around only to take pics you can get some good ones.

got that design up on my storefront, different wheels than the real car but the only ones close to them aren't chrome, and none chrome wheels look terrible on the car
getting a little bit better at making the colors more realistic in editing

they've apparently improved the upload quality, I just scaled these down:
I have a '99(that is my tag as well, lol) but I do not have the anniversary edition, this is my take at it(plus I did some blue inserts on the Pontiac in the back).. right now its not "eating" too many GTs, because it "ate" 3rd and 4th gear of a 4l60e, lol... oh well that is what 470whp does to a stock one... and I knew it was coming, stock rear end will be next
the real one:
don't mention it much here because "LS1 fanboy" is usually all it gets anytime one is mentioned
