I don't know why anyone would want to port around an entire PS3, but now you can thanks to Clearvision's new LCD attachment. And don't worry Nintendo fans, you haven't been left out of the fun, because China Vaison has developed a similar screen for the Wii console. Both screens measure 7 inches and feature integrated speakers along with a convenient flip-top design. The Wii version (and presumably the PS3 version) also take component outputs. Still, they both pale in comparison to the 12-inch XBox 360 version released last year.

Nice. That would be great for a trip! All you need is a car adapter for the console.

its just stupid for the PS3 but it would be so-so on the wii

waste of ****ing money is what it is

Yeah I don't see it being too functional with the PS3. The damn thing is like 15 lbs...

With the Wii its nearly reasonable. Perhaps if you're going on a long trip or something. The Wii is a small console but the PS3?

it tells you how much it weighs on the box, my aussie box says 7.5KG, i did an online conversion and thats 16lbs!

Yeah but even the Wii doesn't make much sense; a console that relies so heavily on motion control and accurate movements must be a real bitch to play in the car...

Virtual console games yeah, but I wouldn't shell out any sort of money and be limited to maybe 2% of my gaming library...

Portable gaming? The size is too big for calling it a "portable".
