Does the PS3 work in your car??

[Deadman]

Not sure if this should be under "Tech" or here, so I'm posting here. We're going on a Spring Break road trip next week and I was wondering if the PS3 can run off the power adapter/cig lighter in a car. We took our Xbox 360 in the car a couple of years ago but it required more power than the adapter provided, so it wouldn't work. Usually we roll with the original Xbox or Gamecube but I wanted to have some COD4 or Brutal Legend available, so has anyone done this?

Thanks!

I really doubt it, the PS3 is a power hog, so if the 360 wont even play, no way the PS3 will, infact it would probally kill the car's battery, due to how much power the PS3 sucks up.

I personally have no idea, but Google turned up this:

It will, but you need a big enough power inverter. I have a 1500watt inverter for my truck(18 wheeler), and it will work on that.

Hey, they don't call me the OTRGamer for nothing. Worked great until my LCD mount failed and the nice 22" Samsung became pieces on the floor. I blame Chicago road construction... lol

Hell no it won't.

Anyway road trips are what the DS and PSP are for.

I would get at least a 750 watt inverter (you want to stay at least 10% above the maximum draw of the device). You should probably get yourself a deep cell car battery too, or tour headlights are going to dim when you turn it on

Hmm. Sounds like the old Xbox is going to work just fine.

Thanks for all your input, guys!
