So I want a racing wheel. Seeing as they are expensive, and there are so many options, I can't just go to the store and buy the best racing wheel.

I want the wheel to work for the PS3, 360, and the PC (I think everything that works on the 360 works on the PC).

The games I play are:
Gran Turismo HD Concept (PS3)
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (PS3 - currently renting)
Motorstorm (PS3)
Ridge Racer 7 (PS3)
Ridge Racer 6 (360)
PGR3 (360)
PGR4 (360)
Burnout Revenge (360)

I also have Excite Truck on the Wii, but I don't think you can really use a wheel for that game.

Games I plan on picking up are:
Burnout Paradise (PS3) maybe...
Forza 2 (360)
Sega Rally Revo (360)
Grid (360)
Dirt (360)
some of the Need for Speed games (360)
Stuntman Ignition (360)

I don't have a coffee table, I do have a folding table I could throw a wheel on if needed. I wouldn't mind one of those weird wheel apparatuses if I had to get one.

I am thinking $200 at most (at that price I'll probably wait until Feb to pick one up)

The official 360 wheel is $100 and includes Forza 2... but that probably won't work on the PS3.

What do you guys use?

I think it might be difficult to find a racing wheel that's compatible with all games you listed there.

I found the Logitech G25 that's compatible with quite a few PC, PS3 and PS2 games.

There's also the Driving Force Pro which is only compatible with Playstation software but supports much more PS2 games than the G25.

I'm not sure where else to look for wheels, I don't own one myself. Maybe Microsoft & Sony make it so that wheels are never compatible with both: forcing you to buy 2.
