    What kind of usb mic/headset do I need to look for? I'm thinking of picking up a cheapy at my local computer wholesaler. I don't want a bluetooth, far too expensive. Will any usb one do?

    yea any USB one will work. i suggest getting one with an inline volume control, so you can actually maybe hear the voices on your headset.

    One of my favorite moments in a Cops and Crooks game was when I dropped an grenade out the window while being persued by the five-oh, and seeing 4 kill registers pop up.

    Uncooked and EVERYTHING.

    Oh god. I have such a ridiculous hangover. Someone mentioned playing Hangman's Noose. I barely even remember that. The games were fun as shit, but damn, I don't need to drink like that again. I'm an old man. I'll just do it in game from now on.

    Headset = YES!

    I just tried it out, but couldn't understand a word the guy was saying. It sounded like James Earl Jones speaking into a distortion unit.

    I hope this isn't the experience I should be expecting... but lets get it on later tonight! I wanna' test this shit out.

    i literally cant hear anything out of my headset, its retarded. the thing to do until they add in theoretical volume controls is to set the voice chat to come through your speakers instead of the headset. at least then you can hear what people are saying.

    I got myself a Logitech USB with in-line volume control and aside from that first guy who sounded like nothing it's been working well - I managed to get into a Supercars race with a foulmouthed Brit who was talkin' trash and tried to PITT maneuver me out of the race. Well he was, until he wiped out and I blew past him on a straightaway. Then he just quit.

    So I log back in to see if I need to go bring my backup profile over from my Hong Kong account (it may work?), my level is back where it was. I dunno what happened, I dunno why - but it pissed me off somethin' fierce. You're the only person who responded to my predicament - thank you! Although I should note I haven't saved it once since I beat the game and went on a date with the Craplist girl, and my multiplayer profile seems to keep itself up to date.

    Anyway, it's Sunday, it's 10:00 - are we gonna' get down to some PA GTA F.U.N. in like an hour or so?

    I just achieved what I will coin as an "Aquatic Vertical Takedown"

    Its where I was in a helicopter and I smashed another helicopter into the water by landing on its rotors.

    My roommate and I were laughing for so long :lol:

    So, i'm trying to find a usb headset type thing where it's just the microphone. Does such a thing exist?

    I've got a nice sound system set-up and nice headphones for when I need them, I'm not really wanting or needing headphones with my mic.

    For example.

    Find a cheap copy of "eye of judgement" (should be easy to do) and use the eyetoy as your mic.

    But that fails the headset prerequisite. What with it lacking the ability to sit, on my head.

    I suppose I could put the eyetoy on my head, but trying to keep it balanced whilst playing GTA 4 may be problematic for me.

    We could go all McGyver and strap that thing to your head!

    I've just sat it on my tv or coffee table and it picks up my voice just fine so if you don't need it on your head then it is an option.

    well i'm not sure if you can hear the other people without headphones that are separate from the regular output, maybe there's a way though

    That seems to depend on the game. In Call of Duty 4 I was able to hear what people were saying on their headset through my TV's speakers, but with GTA IV I wasn't able to hear any chat until I got a headset of my own. Perhaps there's a way to tell the system to rout it into your speakers, but I couldn't find it.

    Look at the headsets at my link, they're the type where the headphones are also for the game sound itself too. As in to listen to the sound you must use the headset rather than some nice speakers.

    I'm now thinking this is probably my best bet for a headset. Something where I get sound through my speakers and voice through the headset.

    under the setup menu for headsets (accessories->audio device setup or something like that) theres an option to have voip output through whatever headset, or the default audio device (ie, your speakers)

    Anyone still playing this?

    Just got a PS3 and GTA4 and would like to get into this online, but the random matches are utterly lacking when it comes to some of the coop game types.

    My PSN ID is "ohvermie," currently residing in North America with a headset.

    ....or is everyone playing MGS4? >_<
