    If it had a custom built Gamecube or if they did the same for PS2, then I'd buy one. The GBA is outdated, really..

    Yeah, but it's a GBA that plays DVDs and has a whacking great screen. I can't see pads or pad sockets either, but I can see what look like remote receivers on the dock. Remote pads, maybe?

    So, a GBA that plays DVDs, has a big screen and remote pads, eh?! Um, I'll have one...

    People should be driving or beating their kids in the backseat, not playing movies or games in the car.

    You could say the same about the Navi Saturn and look how those turned out.

    How fucking stupid. 1) The GBA is already extremely portable...more portable than this. 2) How the fuck are you supposed to drive and play games at the same time?

    Exactamundo. Car Marty too, very sexy. Guess this makes my hattrick if/when it comes
     
  16. I still play my color gameboy!!! No color... no Advanced. Just the good ol' B&W fater than my 1980 walkman, gameboy. With the 9328423840230489 games out there, I doubt most have played even a small small fraction of those.

    Anyway, the point of these things (DVD player included) is for either the passengers in the back (likely children), or for anyone, once the vehicle is stopped. It is placed in such a way that the driver can not interact with it. I don't think it is an issue.

    That controller is for sky gamestar - satellite TV provider here in the UK - Thats a controller for their crappy flash-esque games you can pay for about £1/go through your digibox. Not sure what it has to do with this visteon company...

    I have one of those controllers (for my sister), utter shite. I really don't think that will be the final remote - maybe something similar.

    Anyway most of the stuff I collect hardware wise I never actually use, why do I have 3 3D0 vcd cards? If this was japanese I would probably buy it.

    For example, I do fancy one of those irem moniters listed in an other thread, though I would never use it.

    I thought the gba was built into the dvd player. That would have been hella-cool.
