    Present ideas please :(
    So I want to get the bf something awesome for his bday, but his main hobbies include gaming which I know very little about!
    He pointed this out in a magazine

    which I was all set to buy but now I think about it he plays more like strategy games on his PC, and F1 and stuff on his xbox.

    Any ideas whether this is still a good buy, or suggestions of anything else that would be good? I can spend about £90. Thanks!

    Well if he specifically pointed that item out and you have a budget equal to the price then I think it's safe to say that you should go for that controller.

    Try find a racing wheel for Xbox instead if he usually plays F1 games on that

    Good lord don't buy him that. No pedals, no base unit, no force feedback... Though the LEDs on the top are :coma: It won't give him the racing experience he'll really want. Trust me, I'm a huge racing fan.

    Does he play his Xbox at a desk or is it more a living room job? I'd only recommend the above wheel if he has very little space to play with.
