Well, I have a PS3 (just got it today) and I was wondering, does anybody use theirs for travel? Like, my mom has a small tv screen in her car and i was wanting to hook it up on a roadtrip down to Florida. Is this a good idea or a bad idea?
Bad idea. The Playstation 3 wasn't designed for travel especially to be played in your cars with all the bumpy roads. Another consideration is the Playstation 3 is pretty heavy compared to all the other consoles.
If you want a gaming device that you would like to play during your travel time, I suggest getting a PSP.
