Long Flight

tmac · 3 May 2006 at 19:53

I will be flying out to sunny Orlando(hopefully) in just over a week but the thought of 9 hours in a cramped seat is niggling me. So to relieve the boredom I was thinking of buying a PSP, could play a game, listen to music etc., but then wondered if you are allowed to use a PSP on and plane and if so how long does the battery last ?
Hope all you well travelled peeps can let me know.

Thanks.

p.s. Is a PSP the best choice ?

Sounds good so far. Another thing I just thought of, if I see a game I like while I am there will it play on my PSP ?

Better not bother with the car charger as I will be driving :cool:

Getting confused here. JUMPURS has a japanese one but Velocity says to get a US one. Do you not just get a UK/Eu one when you go to the High St. to buy one ?

Thanks for all the info, as far as I can see OC don't sell PSP's so all High St. retailers will be much the same price wise I suppose. I take it I should get a 1gb memory stick and possibly a spare battery. Any game recommendations, nothing too complex as I only have very old tired thumbs.

id say get a DS and use that SD card reader thingy so you can play movies and mp3's off that. Do you not already have an mp3 player? And the carrier will provide decent in flight movies so IMO its only the games that you need

This sounds interesting, any of you use a DS ?

Probably more than those that use a PSP.
I believe the DS is the better hand-held hands down.

Why do say that, is the games available or the feature and can it also be used as an mp3 player ?

Just a quick thanks to all for the help. Went to a local shop and tried both and ended up coming home with the DS. Just seemed easier for an old guy like me to use and the difference in price will go towards an mp3 player.

Thanks again guys.
