Griffin RoadDock straps Sony PSP to car seat

News from The Register

Want to give your kids and other car passengers that airline TV-in-the-back-of-the-seat experience on long journeys? Thanks to Griffin Technology, you'll soon be able to do just that. The company will next month ship RoadDock, a rig for attaching a Sony PlayStation Portable to the back of a car seat.

The $39 accessory provides a 2in-wide elasticated band to strap the dock to the seat. Fitted to the strap is a docking unit for the PSP that allows the handheld console to be rotated through 360° and tilted for the best view.

Alas, the unit doesn't appear to include a power connector - though you probably don't want wires strewn about the cabin - so you're still reliant on the PSP's battery to keep the wee ones distracted through the journey.

The RoadDock is set to ship next month, but Griffin is already taking orders at its website.

$39 for a piece of "elastic band." i think people can make home made ones for a lot cheaper

It's hear, hear!!

And how are you supposed to play it? Watch movies, fine, but what a complete waste of product space. An internal fan cooler would have been a much better idea.

Before you ask, I did not say a fan was a good idea. I just said it was better.

My friend already made this for his kid to watch Spongebob Squarepants episodes on the way to school. I remember going to Home Depot with him that day, & he didn't fork out more than $10 total for the materials he used to make this thing. He even has a tutorial up on a blog somewhere with pictures on how to make it...I'll ask him for the link and post it here later on.

This is a product for people who don't mind spending money on things they're too lazy to make on their own .

you would need some pretty good tinted windows for this its almost impossible to play games on the bus because of the glare.
