They allowed me during the flight and when taking off i was like u i want to play on advance and that was like a year and a bit ago


i like the monitor because when you go to places like leeds then you can play and put it in the boot when you leave. If it was 50 quid then maybe.


oh yes I got Black and White (ace game)

Planes in Japan probably have clips on the latest consoles and games in development, being so 'advanced' in technology. I bet they don't have to sit there watching Birds of a Feather and other poor excuses for programs like that! They can probably also play N64's, GameCubes and GBA's and the rest while playing. This would be luxury for them, like the Carlsberg advert, where they do their own holiday.

On planes they usually show Birds of a Feather, this program is seriously unfunny and annoying.

I wasn't allowed to during take-off, or after! They said you couldn't use ANY electronics!! But what are we sposed to do during 4 hour flights?? The radio stations are BORING, and repeat ever half hour!! The films/TV programs also suck, as the TV's usually broken or you can't see it!

yeah, never mind if you die, as long as the GC is safe!!!

Anyway, I was allowed to play my GB on a plane, just not during take off and landing...

You probably wouldn't be allowed to play a GC on a plane. I wasn't allowed my GameBoy on one, and you'd just be drawing un-wanted attention to yourself. But it's still quite a good idea for long car/train journeys. Would you seriously take your precious GameCube on a train, after events over the last year???

You pay £100 for the moniter then you have to pay £50 more to get the mains and car adaptor and battery pack.

only point in it is for playing while in a car/ plane/ boat or something like that... but why for £100??? I'm sure you could find something else to amuse yourslef with (no funny comments here!) for a while...

not a bad idea for people who are desperate to make their gc portable but it does'nt look as if it will be much of a success.

Well said, i would have to agree you can buy a 14" coluor TV for about £75 a little monitor is just plain silly.
