MS really needs to make HID compatible controllers work with the X360. A ton of really good wheels, joysticks and gamepads can't be used with it for that very reason. Forza 2 would be so much better with the G25!

^ That's nice, what brand is it?

I've been after a tripod, but the ones I like from Manfrotto are like $300. They feel so nice and solid though.
