Visteon GBA/DVD player

[studvicious]

It features a 10 inch screen too! Not a bad way for the kids to pass the time in the back seat.

This is kind of an extreme bump, but has anybody out there used one of these? Not much info out there on the internets.

Their current website status should tell you how well these did. LOL

Are these available somewhere else?

If the $1200 price tag is in the neighborhood of what it cost as an option...hmm, it's hard to see this being easy to acquire for use outside a car, or just to get one period.

Look at how happy Mario is with that controller. It's because his hands aren't human...they're mushrooms! What's he looking at, anyway?

Holy crap, that price is outrageous, even for 2006!

We had these for sale when I worked for a car dealership back in '08. People would look at the mid range Sienna vans that didn't have a DVD player built in and we'd recommend these as an after market installation. I remember my sales supervisor asking me to go the GS I worked at P/T and buy up a couple of cheap GBA games to show off the unit to prospective customers. I remember picking up Namco Museum and something else.

I always wanted one but the price was too obscene to even consider. I have no idea if they still have these available at the dealership for installation or not (I would imagine not).

This is kind of an extreme bumpIt's like a bump, only it's TOTALLY X-TREEME!

I saw a picture of one of these just recently, and yet this is the only thread about them on this forum. I gather they haven't come down in price or anything in the last two years.

What with being officially licensed, I guess there's no hope of some other company stepping in and making cheap version (like Majesco did with the Game Gear and Genesis 3).
