I've been toying with the idea of getting one for ages and you can pick them up on ebay for about £45 inc delivery on average (GC ones).
Anyway, question is: Why is it that only the Cube ones come with car lighter adapters (to power the screen and the Cube) and the PS2/XBox ones don't ?
I've emailed Joytech but not heard anything, there's probably a simple reason such as Cube being more portable or something but it's bugging me
(plus you can buy a rechargeable battery that plugs onto and powers the Cube & screen for a couple of hours but can't with the other two)
Don't anyone say it's anything to do with the size of the discs !

Ummm
As far as I've come to understand it, the discs are smaller so therefore require less force to spin them.
Of course it's worth pointing out, the PS2 and Xbox don't spin the discs at all.

I was waiting for a sarcastic answer like the discs are smaller so it takes less power to spin them !
