As most people know, the PSP is a versatile handheld capable of doing many different things. Gaming, listening to music, watching movies, etc. There're just so many uses for it!
However, there's one thing that's always really frustrated me about it. I've never found a way to easily use it while I'm driving.
MY WAIT IS OVER.
That's right, the amazing folks over at gogamestuff.com have finally solved my PSP-while-driving related woes, and have come out with the single best peripheral in the history of video gaming.
THE PSP CAR HOLDER.
No longer do I have to cry during my entire morning commute because I can't watch movies, I can now attach this handy dandy car holder STRAIGHT TO MY WINDSHIELD so that I can get my entertainment fill while I'm driving. Think you have a boring commute? NOT ANYMORE!!!!
"“if you're a psp fan, what will you do when meeting traffic jam?angry?depressed? or just sit there? now, you can get better choice: watch moves to relax yourself via your psp with it tied to psp car holder gripping on your car windshield”" (I know English probably isn't their first language, but if you're going to put out a press release in English, you should make sure you know how to spell and use proper grammar.)
Unfortunately there are no pictures yet as it's not being released until Monday, but the description pretty much sums up what it is:
"Gogamestuff has added many PSP holders & docks to its products center recently, but this holder is specially for car owners,“Firmly stick on the windshield and could remove easily, with Quick release button for psp car holder extending its arm automatically, the flexible arm can be adjusted to any angle for easy viewing”, from its specification."
It comes with Quick release button for PSP car holder extending its arm automatically! It's everything I've ever dreamed of AND MORE!!!
Seriously, who the fuck thought this was a good idea AT ALL? The press release claims it's for use when you're "having to stop for a while" (BECAUSE HOLDING IT IS SO FUCKING HARD), but later on they say it's great for traffic jams. I'm pretty sure a giant flexible arm holding a PSP in your windshield is going to be pretty noticeable to the police after you've slammed your car into a van carrying a family of 6 because you got distracted while watching your pirated copy of Iron Man. Or does Hong Kong have special laws that allow you to view all of the $1 bootleg DVDs you can buy there in your car in order to keep the economy going?

why dont you play tf2 anymore ?
Also, Diablo has been sucking up a lot of my time. I love Diablo.
yeah it would be pretty usefull for the GPS-add-on, I've got one for in the car too, I mostly use it for when I'm driving some of my cousins somewhere so they can watch The Simpsons on the way and don't bother me :-)
Even with that, a windshield mount? I could see that justifying a dashboard mount, but not a windshield mount. Might as well tape a map to the windshield for all the visual impairment you'll have.
"New Driver"
WTF? Either you can drive or you can't. It doesn't say anything in my state's driving manual that I should look for and avoid persons who are new to driving so as to not force them to obey the same laws I am forced to obey.
Also didn't some basketball/football player get ticketed for an accident because he was having a wank when driving and watching porn on his screen? Could have sworn that happened a while back.
Also, good find.
You're absolutely right about the athlete getting in trouble, I can't remember who it was though.
Being a car nut I have a lot to say about this. First of all, most older and aftermarket front mounted screens do not disable automatically when the car is driving, unfortunately. Secondly, if your screen does disable, its not hard to snip a couple of wires to prevent that. Most aftermarket shops will do it for you for free I've heard.
My last point is expanding upon Dexter's point about his dads infiniti. I'd like to add that a lot of these cars with dvd systems are higher end cars some of which are designed for speed. I can't help but laugh when I see some guy at the local track with a car totally tricked out for racing, tires, headers, exhaust, suspension, turbo etc etc. and yet they also have 4 tv screens and a hot tub in the back. I've never understood why you'd put all that money into the speed of your car and then make it heavy as hell with useless and flashy electronics.

Yeah for car dvd players (when installed legally) only work when the E-brake is on as you are not supposed to have a video infront of the driver. Behind the driver is totaly fine though.
Zing!
