Stupid.

Could you imagine if someone accidently dropped they're briefcase and a N64 and a ton of carts fell out instead of papers? haha

This is a good idea, just not carried out well. Imagine if they put an LCD screen in there almost the size of the case instead of the little screen shown. And got it running off a battery pack.

Nah.. who am I kidding. Still a bad idea. I cant imagine someone paying for this service.

When I first starting reading it, I thought it would be some sort of cool design, modding the hardware to fit well into case or something. Instead they just tape shit to the inside of a briefcase. Also it apparently takes 3 weeks to tape said shit inside said briefcase

It could be a great idea, but those sample installations are truly gaff. But if done right and with a clean, custom and finished look there really could be a good idea hidden in that guys bad one. Maybe use better materials, bigger screens, polish and customize the case more and make the case able to play multiple consoles. He might be on to something then.

I agree, the idea could be good, but this is just crap.

I'd like to see somebody go through airport security with one of those things.

I wonder if they just use duct tape. I should probably think about opening a business doing this. There is some moron that will pay to have a console taped inside a suitcase. I will even include a power cord so you can plug it in!
