Yep, except for online racing, I pretty much only compete for Phantom TT race times on wipeout-game.com. Mine always updates ok, although it takes a few hours for the site to display the new times.
Never really bothered with SR mode, as there's too much luck involved for decent competition IMO (plus Pulse's idiot AI isn't fast enough). Besides, if you like weapons, that's what online racing is for!
edit: bah, ace edited to answer the question, so now it looks like I ignored his post!![]()
