[big hp]

Lets see what all the fuss is about. My girlfriend bought it for me last night.

Wish me luck.

[richy]

have you got a good tv? my tv in my room is crap but when playing it on my mates tv/surround system its class, also give it a little time to get to the good cars! :D

[big hp]

I play it on a 22" lcd monitor that I bought solely for the xbox. Pic is awesome.

Also means the gf stays happy as she can watch the tv while i play.

Nah you got it the wrong way round, we just bought a 26" lcd for the wife to watch while i play xbox on the 42 :D

[Chet T16]

I got a wheel but can't manage to get it set up comfortabley

I need one of those race seats

[Dancliovalver]

those race seats are quality, we have a couple at work!!

Wheres your gamer tag Chet??? :lol:

[Chet T16]

That doesn't sound much like work!

I'll add my GT to the other thread

[Dancliovalver]

i work for a light and sound engineering company, we did the release gig for gran turismo 4 when it first came out on the PS2, we got given 2 playstations, 2 copys of the game before it came out, 2 force feedback steering wheels and 2 seats and frames!!

we use em at the works parties, the seats are in cages with 'LUKE' harnesses and everything, we pick em up with truss cranes so ur elevated in the air when ur racing, fookin awsome, will try and find some pics :lol:

[Chet T16]

Jammy git, altho i get work done on my car for free in work, not to mention the insurance :D

The other night i was sat on the floor on 2 cushions with my back against the couch.Tthe wheel clamped to the seat bit of one of teh kitchen chairs with my legs under it onto the pedals propped up by another cushion against an upturned coffee table to stop it sliding

Started to race and got about 6 different cramps :x

[big hp]

PMSL how long it take you to set all that up lol

I've never got on with steering wheels before. Looked at one last night though, £80 for the microsoft one :shock:

Plus then theres the mounting of it etc. Chets post just about sume them up.

[Chet T16]

I wouldn't buy one without the seat if i was you

Without something solid to mount it to the feedback will knock it out of your hands!

[Dancliovalver]

yeah i know what ya mean, i never got on with a wheel before, i bought the madcatz one off ebay brand new for £30, got the wheel, pedals, another wired control pad, facia cover for sexbox, dvd remote and console and game stand and i get on really well with it, but takes alot of getting used to, now i cant use the pads at all, i just crash lol

the steering wheel isnt force feedback and is alittle smaller but it has these retractable leg support things and its really comfortable, u dont need to mount it anywhere, it hugs ur legs :lol:

i got all that from ebay for 30 sniffs :lol:

[big hp]

Not bad. I'd buy microsoft one though. Don't need all the other shiz and always prefer to buy everything genuine i can no matter what it is.

Prob why i have no money lol

[Dancliovalver]

yeah the genuine one is definatly better, the force feedback and wireless is a definate winner but its really gay how u can only mount it to a table ect, where as this one with the leg rests are really kool

if the proper 360 one had those or similar it would be mega :lol:
