XBox 360 questions

I have a bunch of questions for you guys...

I see a MadCatz for $99.00 what do you guys think?

Also, I'm going to buy my XBox 360 250GB on line (I have to use my Paypal) and it looks like Walmart has no shipping cost and you can order it on line and pick it up the same day at the local Walmart.

They still have a "Holiday Bundle" and it comes with two games and one controller. I want to get a second controller... Can I get the same wireless controller for $25.00? Or am I looking at something different?

I guess Codemaster's F1 game is a good game to get.

I'd appreciate your input.

Thanks,
George

My experience with madcatz has not been that great, the feel of the controls and everything just never seems right. WalMart is usually the cheapest place to buy xbox stuff and I would go there for about anything.
If you found a microsoft 360 controller for $25 go for it that is about half the normal price, although on walmart.com you can usually find them for cheaper than in-store cost.
But the thing is I would stick with genuine microsoft controllers as they will perform the best and probably hold up a lot longer.

On_the_edge,

Thanks for your input. I'm trying to justify getting everything. I sold about $1,500.00 worth of slot cars (1:32) and I already invested in a new HD Go Pro camera. I do video production for a living and most of my work currently is corporate marketing and training. I need to get some other things for my biz, but I also want to get us an Xbox to play with. We have a Wii, but I have zero interest in playing with it. All of the car games are shoot 'em ups and all I want to do is race.

Thanks again,
George

George, If you wanna race get a good pc and get rfactor. You will absolutely love it. Only winged sprint cars for now, but we have midgets, and nonwing sprints are in the works...video posted

Would you guys make it work on a Mac?

I own a brand new 27" iMac and I also have a MacBook Pro.

I'm a video producer, so I work on Mac computers. If you could make it work on the OS platform, WOW that would be awesome on my 27"!
