From Gizmodo (http://i.gizmodo.com/5125599/audiovox-co+branded-playstation-2s-coming-to-cars)


Audiovox will be releasing custom PS2 consoles for cars. Apparently Sony has handed over PS2 hardware to Audiovox (surely through some sort of co-beneficial licensing agreement), who has then re-cased the hardware and added their own tweaks like wireless outputs (allowing the whole car to share one system). Available in 6 months for a $200 premium over existing in-car entertainment systems, there will be a front overheard pop-out version of the system (left) as well as backseat units (right). It's sort of like the soccer mom version of pimping one's ride.

Oh those look hawt.... I really wish that they didn't release these horrible looking rendered shots to the public.

At least the kids are playing Ico as they drive to grandma's...

I think that's really cool. I just wish I wasn't horrified to let my wife do any of the driving when we go anywhere. Even if I bought this, I'd never get to use it.

This would go great with the DVD car player that has a built in GBA. Neat stuff.
