Article:  Video Game System Lets You Play On The Go

Just as the title indicates, you can now play your console video games while on the go.  GAEMS, short for Gaming and Entertainment Mobile Systems is a heavy duty briefcase that comes complete with a high definition display that connects to your Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.  The WII is excluded since it does not have HDMI cables.

The briefcase has belts that strap the game system to the case.  There are also pouches for your controller and other peripherals.

The purpose of the briefcase is to allow you to travel, or be mobile, and still be able to continue to play video games, whereever you may be.  You may even play Call of Duty Black Ops (pictured above).

The author tested the soundness of the brief case by enclosing his PlayStation 3 in the case and walking around with it.  According to the author, the PlayStation 3 stayed in place and did not bulge or move.

Here are pictures of the video game briefcase open and closed:

 The briefcase also has a wireless feature at a cost of $20.00, above the cost of the briefcase -- which costs $299.00.

Here is a picture showing video game players using the briefcase outside.

Ms. H. Take:  The author states that this briefcase may be overkill, but video game players will view it as a nice addition when on the road.  His reasoning was you never know when you may need one, especially if you are traveling.  However, I think this briefcase, in my opinion is overkill.  Wouldn't hotels or other places  have TVs, where you can connect your game system and play video games if you wanted to?   The feature that may be noteworthy is the built-in display screen inside the case  which is the same to me as a TV screen.  So I'm not seeing the need or the draw for this briefcase.

If I rated this technology on Mom's Minute, I would have to say that I would not buy it.  I would find better uses for $299.00.

On a positive note:  As always, I applaud the video game industry for coming up with new and innovative technology, and I look forward to seeing what new ideas  will evolve or be unveiled next!
