    Well, I guess that's one way to pacify any 'backseat drivers'.

    But, seriously, I don't advice using any HDD equipment in a moving car unless it was designed for such use (mounted with flexible suspension of some kind). Just imagine the HDD heads crashing the disk when the car hits a pothole at high speed...

    Best regards: dlanor

    If you are going to use a ps2 in a car w/ a harddrive you want to stand the PS2 up vertically. It has less of a chance of killing the HDD. It would also ruin using that screen though

    sounds like a bad idea then thaught it would be great to have a ps2 in the car and 120 gb hdd full of games to keep the kids quiet for long trips.looks like ill have to stick to my n-gage for them to watch moves and play games.

    Simply because hard drives arent build for such carbuse! (abuse) with all the vibration and movement.

    if a laptop hdd fits on the connector in the N/A i suggest you use one coz it's made for dealing with vibrations n such
    well not made but customized for it
