Looking at headsets. Found these two for cheap and they are name brands. Here they are: Tritton AX 180 and Logitech Gaming Headset G330. Tritton is $50 and the Logitech is $30ish.

The "regular" X1 is generally much faster then the Vettle.....in most cases.

Bob,
I tried to send Trev a friend request but it said he has reached the maximum amount of friends and the request was not sent.

If I'm racing your guys, you can't cash in. You've got to wait. I had to stop racing for a couple hours today though. I'm at work, and actually HAD to work. Wasn't too happy about that.  :lol:

I'll tell Trev to make some space in his list for you.

Here's the X1:

Thanks for the info and thanks for racing our guys. Just a quick a question. When racing Indy in the Formula GT I finish the race and then it slows my car down to 50 MPH. No control accept for the PS button. I let it go for a while and it just stays like that. All the other racers do it to. I won 1st but it never gave me the cash...

Thanks again,

Hey TA.....I think what happened is that you're waiting for the rest of the field to finish. That way, they know how much prize money to give out. Basically, you crossed the finish line and need to wait for them to catch up. The prize money screen will come up automatically.

ALSO: And this is VERY important.....When you cash in your credits from b-specing, you MUST save immediately. Otherwise, when you shut off the PS3, you'll loose the money/credits you got.
There's been a couple updates to the game since they discovered this "bug", but I'm not sure if they fixed this yet. Better safe then sorry.....just click the little red dot thingy.

TA--after you win just press X and it will end everyone else and tally up the cash.
Bob- I didn't know about that save thing...I think they fixed it though...

They must have considering how many times you've not done it.  :lol:
Me, well, it's habit now and I'll keep doing it. I've been burned, back in the old days. I cashed in a couple million only to lose it all.  :evil:

Still. Did another race and it did the same thing! Grrrr. :evil: They have all passed the finish and the total time is still ticking away and I tried X like you said Ed but that didnt work. Everybody else is going 50 to.

Help!
