Does anyone on here race? Is there a Spec Miata series on Xbox live by chance? -------------------- Race Engineering - Championship Winning Engines Carbotech Performance Brakes CDOC taake1201 Bankrupt Racer Region: Houston (SOWDIV) Posts: 217 Status: Offline posted         I don't know the answer to your questions but I'm anxiously awaiting a response. I just bought my XBox 360 yesterday at Target. Microsoft dropped the 20GB Pro model by $50 to 299 and Target offered a $25 gift card on top of that so, I finally took the plunge. Just ordered Forza 2 on Amazon so, I'm almost ready to roll. I thought about buying GRID but I heard there's no practice or qualifying and that the AI sucks. Supposedly your teammate will try and crash you on the last lap if you are leading. The graphics look good but that sounds childish to me. -------------------- Steve Taake #5 SSB Mazda MX-5 Miatacage.Com/Mazdaspeed/Hoosier/Carbotech/Summit Racing/Pro Am Auto Accessories Sean Allen Veteran Member Region: SFR Car #: 54!

Still a fun game though for when you have nothing else to do around the house! taake1201 Bankrupt Racer Region: Houston (SOWDIV) Posts: 217 Status: Offline posted         That sucks. Maybe I will get GRID when the price comes down. Whats GTR2? -------------------- Steve Taake #5 SSB Mazda MX-5 Miatacage.Com/Mazdaspeed/Hoosier/Carbotech/Summit Racing/Pro Am Auto Accessories RYGAR "The Unethical" Region: San Francisco Car #: 29 Year : 1991 Posts: 550 Status: Offline posted         Grid is pretty cool... it's a fun racing game... the graphics are pretty sweet, but I wouldn't call it a racing simulator or anything... The best thing to do is rent the game first and test it out...then decide to buy or not. do yourself a favor and leave the driving for real-life and pick up CALL OF DUTY 4. it's AWESOME. Oh...and if you don't have a HDTV, you're missing out BIG TIME and you'll have one very soon! I'd give you my gamertag ID, but I'm going to get the PS3 next month, so I'll be selling my XBOX 360 and games. I love the XBOX but all of my friends are on the PS3... Enjoy it!! Forza 2 is a great game! There was a post on Forza 2 players on this site somewhere... not sure how current it is...

I have both( Uh, I mean my son has both ) The PS is way better IMO, when complete PS3 version comes out, it will be awesome. Or is Forza comes out with a decent steering wheel.

You play games on the consoles (XBox and PS3) but if you want to drive a SIMULATOR the PC is the ONLY way to go! The logitech G25 wheel and pedal is the setup for the money ($225) but there are some serious stuff up in the $1500.00 range http://gtr-game.10tacle.com - GTR2 info http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/gaming/playstation_3/devices/131&cl=us,en - G25 info,this is for PS3 but it also works on the PC http://www.thomas-superwheel.com - High end wheel and pedals -------------------- Mike Monaghan #05 SSM "BUELL" The Original STREETFIGHTER J.D.
