I keep getting asked about Game Commander, an easy to use voice recognition program that enables you to speak key strokes instead of taking your hands off your wheel, joystick, etc. I and others have found this inexpensive ($34.99 US) software to be invaluable while racing. I use it all the time in Nascar 3 and Heat and it works beautifully! Imagine being able to say "TIRES" in your headset microphone and up pops your tire status. Or saying "Pass #33 low!" when wanting to issue an autochat to the driver trying to pass you. The program works great and is easily programmed. If you are interested in this program and want to help support online racing then please head over to http://www.racersdomain.com There will be a "GAMESTOP" banner on the right hand lower side of the main page. Click on it the banner and enter Game Commander in the search window. They have it for $34.99 US. I couldn't imagine racing without this invaluable tool! -- Bruce Moody AKA Deiter #33 The RDC Drivers Club Director http://www.racersdomain.com

How does it compare to Microsoft's new SideWinder Game Voice, do you know?

I haven't tested the MS Game Voice yet, but I'll test it out soon and let you know. BTW: http://www.racersdomain.com added a quick link to order the Game Commander on the main page to the right for people who want to order it. -- Bruce Moody AKA Deiter #33 RacersDomain.Com Drivers Club Director Krakus <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ZEkJ5.34201$[email hidden]... > How does it compare to Microsoft's new SideWinder Game Voice, do you know? > > >

Actually, I easily found some reviews doing a search so I won't needto do a review. It looks pretty cool, but also sounds like it takes a bigger performance hit and voice command delay than Game Commander and Roger Wilco. Another thing is market share in that you may not have many people using this compared to people who are running game commander and roger wilco. The real test would be if someone used this product for a couple of months with Nascar 3 and the like to see how it works and how many screen freezes they get. Anyone done this? Is do speak up Please! :) The somewhat unbiased reviews I looked at seemed to have feelings as some didn't like it and others did.

The Nov. PC Gamer has a review of the MS SideWinder Game Voice. They give it favorable reviews but the bottom line is "If you want to chat with your chums while playing your favorite games, Game Commander is the better choice".

Count me as dis satisfied, IMHO only allowing people who buy GC between September and october is Bad business. I think many people who bought gc beforce september will be very mad and never buy another one again. Most companies give Free upgrades for people who bought their product within 3 or 4 months at least but only 1 month seems greedy to me.
Said in a very friendly tone. IMHO, that's just the luck of the draw G_Major. Game Commander has been out for a long time and just because you bought yours 3 months ago doesn't mean that they should accomodate more than 30 days. From my 20 years industry experience 30 days is more than fair. I purchased my game commander almost a year ago. Was able to upgrade to the MX version for only $5.00 since it basically supported the Roger Wilco plug in and it wasn't a major upgrade. Now for $29.95 I can get a major upgrade. Seems pretty reasonable to me taking in to account that I use the program everyday and it has made my online gaming life so much more enjoyable! I respect your opinion G_Major, but I can't wait to pay the money and help support such a great product and company! http://www.racersdomain.com hopefully will have the new GC2 version for sale soon through one of our affiliates. Check back regularly.

Bruce, I thought the price for previous purchasers was only $15.(us) {sunday morning, I'm probably not even here typing yet, let alone awake!} dave henrie "Bruce Moody" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:F1XK5.7416$[email hidden]... > Said in a very friendly tone.

Correct. The upgrade for current customers is $15. See also: http://www.gamecommander.com/pr/09202000.html Also, the free upgrade is for purchases between Sept. 1 and Oct. 31 which is actually two months (61 days). In article <FvYK5.29173$[email hidden]>, "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote:
