And have you not seen the iPod Red? Or one of the other MANY things both Sony and Apple do for charities? Just because Bill ripped off the world and now he's paying it back to ease his conscience doesn't make Microsoft an angel. For saying that, you've just proven how little attention you actually pay to the world and the people who contribute to it.]]>Aug 23rd 2007 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/microsoft-offers-retrofit-for-xbox-360-wireless-racing-wheel/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/microsoft-offers-retrofit-for-xbox-360-wireless-racing-wheel/Aug 23rd 2007 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/microsoft-offers-retrofit-for-xbox-360-wireless-racing-wheel/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/microsoft-offers-retrofit-for-xbox-360-wireless-racing-wheel/

Also, has anyone thought of using a tv dinner table for a steering wheel stand? The one in the pic below looks perfect!

I just got a call from MS support on this stupid steering wheel. I saw the thing about the retrofit kit and called because I have 2 small kids and didn't need a fire on my hands. So the guy basically calls me at 8 pm to tell me that when there is a retrofit kit available I will receive one. I told him that was not acceptable and wanted a supervisor. I get this lady "Marie" who basically didn't want to hear it.

Basically, I wanted a new working wheel, or I wanted my money back. I told her that these things should be recalled and I had already sent my 360 to get fixed and I got hung up on for my troubles. I will admit, I got a little heated, they called me from India at 8pm and woke my kids up. I told her I have a case number would post this all over the net so nobody gets hurt by this thing.

I think its terrible that they wont issue a recall, this retrofit is a lie. I asked her to send me a picture of it if it exists and she said she couldn't do that. Basically, don't use that force feed back until they fix this thing. I did ask her If I bought a new wheel from the store If it would have the same problem and she hung up on me.

Unreal how they treat people, I bought a $400 system and that didn't work now a $150 wheel and that doesn't work either.
