You're right, my friends aren't worth $14.99. They'll just have to stick their wiimote onto something wide and pretend it's a wheel.

If this wheel *must* come with the game, then so be it, I guess. My daughter will probably have fun with it. I find the nunchuck to be far more responsive on racing games than any gimmicky "turn the Wiimote like you're turning the wheel".

@SuppleMonkey: RTFA (Read The F**king Advertisement). It clearly says "Racing Wheel Included" with the game and that the wheel is "Also Sold Separately". This correlates to other advertisements that show a larger-than-normal box for the game...unfortunately.

@Brian Sexton: That's how we make money on ebay...

Fry's has always been doing that. Since like December 2006.

Lest we forget, the Wii Wheel is a simple shell for your Wii Remote. It's not a peripheral, and it's not necessary to play Mario Kart.

I highly doubt I'll even use the one that comes with the game.

I'd recommend anyone considering buying extras to wait and test the bundled one first, before plunking down $15 for more hunks o' plastic.

$14.99 pales compared to the approximately ten times that Fry's Electronics is marking up the Wii today. I finally found a store with some Wii consoles in stock (Fry's Electronics in Campbell), but they are sleazily requiring customers to purchase them in $400 bundles that include unwanted games and accessories that probably aren't selling much on their own.

DO I really have to correct a "professional" blogger on grammatical errors?
