Portable GameCube

The Portable N64 was more of a novelty item whose cost and development factor outweighed its feasibility. However, IGN Cube is running a hardware review on the Interact Mobile Monitor 5.4, a 5.4" LCD that hooks up to your gamecube, providing a screen and power from either AC or an included car adapter. All that for only $150. For only $50 more, Interact sells an optional battery pack, which IGN claims can power the GameCube and monitor for up to three hours."

    Are you the guy that made the Xbox controller? I'm asking because you apparently can fit both a flatpanel and a PS2 in your hands...

    As if the thing didn't already look like a child's lunchbox, now it even has a lid. :)

    I fear purchasing one so my girlfriend doesn't think I'm gay.
