Still, there’s something
to be said for the conven-
ience of going wireless. If
that’s your preference,
forgo the force feedback
and go with a setup that

still simulates the feel of
the rumble motors at
your hands. The wheel

same battery packs as
the wireless controller,

power. The foot pedals
require no power and are
connected to the wheel with an included cable. Whether or not you use the powerful force...

The personalization doesn’t stop at the faceplate. The
Xbox 360 Dashboard is also a great target for aes-
thetically savvy gamers. Customizable Dashboard
themes add flair to a static background when it’s
Master Chief or Joanna Dark in the background. The

free coupon to download the related theme. Themes are available via the Xbox Live Marketplace
