Guess I'll be calling Microsoft when I get off work. Haven't used my wheel since I bought my Elite.

And neither can Microsoft :D

At least the insurance company didn't shaft me. I got back from my annual training and had a check waiting on me.

That would kinda suck if you had it in your lap when it caught fire now, wouldn't it? I mean, damn. I think I'd rather be kicked in the junk instead of burned in the junk, y'know?

I like to roast weinies when I'm camping, not while gaming.

Now don't get me wrong, I've had my share of 360's fail on me, but in regards to the wheel (wich I own and play forza 2 alot with) I've seen no problems so far, and it has been abused by idiot friends who stop by to turn a few laps, and it has ran beautifully since day 1.. until it blows up in my lap I'm writing this off.

Might wanna put a pillow down over your twig and giggle berries just in case though ;)

nah, I run it at the top of my knees, no worries of it igniting the pleasure zone lol..

I haven't had any problems with it either, but I do feel it getting hot in my lap after a few races. I'm gonna send mine in while I'm playing the other games I have.

"Is that a steering wheel in your pocket or do you just have a lit match fetish?"
