From Daily Radar (http://www.dailyradar.com/news/game_news_6463.html)
And we thought cell phones caused a lot of accidents. A new hazard awaits technology\'s early adopters: How about a Ford Lincoln Navigator equipped with a PlayStation2? That\'s just one of the in-vehicle goodies that will be on display at at the annual Consumer Electronics Show Jan. 6-9.
A pair of new Navigators demonstrating networked consumer electronics and computer products linked over the new automotive-grade IDB-1394 multimedia standard will be on show in the 1394 Trade Association exhibit. Besides the PS2, the Navigator also features an interchangeable CD player, camcorder and DVD. A customer convenience port built into the network backbone lets users plug in electronic devices, such as a notebook computer or handheld device, using the same cable that is used in the home.
Down the corridor in 10169, the IDB Forum\'s exhibit, will be Mack\'s Vision model truck, with an 18-inch flat panel and touch panel displays from Planar Systems, DVD system and CD changer from Panasonic, Fujitsu CD/MD audio system, Motorola iDEN telephone, Rand McNally Palm V, Sony camcorder, VST hard disk drive and other systems running on plastic optical fiber from Sumitomo under an interface module, called DHIVA, developed by Digital Harmony Technologies. DHIVA also is in use in the Navigator.
"These in-vehicle multimedia exhibits demonstrate the potential of the IDB-1394 specification to provide complete, easy-to-use, multimedia connectivity in cars, trucks, SUVs, and other vehicles," said IDB Forum Executive Director Arlan Stehney. "IDB-1394 is the most efficient, powerful standard for these exciting applications, and we\'re pleased to be able to show both the Mack Truck and the Lincoln Navigator at CES."
This sucks. I was already saving up to get a Navigator and now I have to save up to get the one with a PS2. Well I\'m going to be in debt when I get it any way so why not be in debt with a PS2?

I know this is off-topic but how are the Durangos\'? I don\'t really like the looks of them but I heard they ride like a champ.
BTW, It should only be a month or two before they are able to put them in any car. Unless Sony has a partnership with Lincoln.

Hello, Onstar. What game would you like to play Batman?
I don\'t think it\'s all that bad of an idea as long as they keep the game playing limited to the passenger seats.. or at least add a saftey mechanism that switches off the PS2 when you put your car in gear.
-
The PS2 can not be played in the front seat. From past experiance the game usually goes in the space between the Driver and Passenger seats with the screen right above it or on the back of the Driver and Passenger headrests.
-
Well Gohan.
I wouldn\'t trade mine for nothin\':) I\'ve had it for 2 years now and the only problem I had was with the ashtray (bad design 98\' model). I personally love the look of them. Mine\'s red with step bars, mud flaps, and a liscense that reads... PS2-4US:D
Switch on the "fly" 4wd, is a blessing here in MN.
My two prized material possesions, PS2 and Durango.

IDB.........SUV............123.....XYZ......IT DOESNT MATTER!!!! ..................the Rock is cool ^_^.....Aneways, all i have to say is......UMMM KAY.....why would you NEED all that stuff in a car......ITS A CAR.....you drive from POINT A to POINT B. ITs not like your going to be living in it.......well from the price tags on these fancy deathmobiles , ull end up living in it cuz u wont be able to afford anething else after buying one......like food, a house, clothes, a shower!!! ROFL aneways, i guess rich people need to have those extra luxories even tho 99.9 % of the time they wont be using it. I mean come on.........A ps2 in a navigator....so you rather be playing a ps2 bunched up in ur car then playing it in ur room where u can relax and be half nekkid?? And wat would be the point aneways, since its UR car and Ull be driving....wat are u going to do ....have one hand on the controller the other on ur steering wheel, and have one eye glued to the microscopic tv and the other on the road....but like I said , rich people need to show off in their fancy cars but sensible people like us well just be like....wow nice car.....oh well la di da di da..and go about our every day lives. And if u are actually saving to buy a Navigator gohan......then u must be really rich...........GRRRRRRRRRRRR DOWN WITH THE RICH PEOPLE!!!!! =P .................................one more thing...nice pic gohan......DBZ RULES!!!
-
Shin. No offence, but grow up.
I\'m not "rich", by any means. I have a family, and no matter what you may think, we are safer in my vehicle than in a "normal" car.
It\'s dumba$$ people that can\'t drive that get hurt and killed in SUV\'s. Would you rather be in a neon or bug during a 65Mph crash?
It\'s not about showing off, but there\'s nothing wrong in taking some pride in things that you work hard for. Entertainment devices in vehicles are meant to entertain your kids or other passengers, not for the driver.
I drove a freaking Geo Storm 4-banger for seven years before I got my Durango. Family expansion calls for more room and in the crappy weather up here 4wd is safer, period.
-
I was thinking of installing a PS1 in my Pathfinder. Im going to install on of those 4 inch LCDs, and I know there is a way to hook stuff up to it. Now that would be cool, or when the PS2 goes down in price, hook one of those up and have a game system and a DVD player in my truck.
Now, I just need the money... Anyone, support the "Kirath PSX2 in his truck foundation" I will be accepting donations.
-
aneways cygnus, whooop di doo for you. YAY your real mature , you have ur own family WOOHOOO. Dont give me none of ur grow up bs. I was saying you dont need all that stuff in a car, thats MY opinion. I respect that you have a family and that u feel u are protected in ur SUV. Good for you for thinking about your family. But you dont need to have a whole entertainment systems in your car, esp when you are simply driving from point a to point b.
As for u statement "Would you rather be in a neon or bug during a 65Mph crash? " I dont think there is much difference in a neon or a bug. I personally drive a 4 door Civic and I like my car very much. And if your really looking out for ur family.........GET A CARAVAN........save that money for something more useful, like ur kids college fund.
And just cuz ur in a SUV doesnt mean your totally protected. Ex: I seen on the news how a guy diriving his Ford Explorer got killed after colliding with a corolla. The guy in the corolla lived, while the guy in the explorer died. See driving a SUV doesnt necessarily make it safer for you.
-
Got no time for dumbasses. Little mental midget, learn how to spell and type and even complete thoughts in sentences, and maybe get past puberty too before you get on dad\'s computer you ****.
Yay!! i can b a dumas 2:D
I said "no offence" before. If you can\'t express your "opinion" without throwing up flames and disrespect to those of a different opinion then expect it. And, BTW, your post up there is loaded with BS that you push off as "fact of the matter".
-
LOl is all i can say to u Cygnus. Ater hearing ur little rant, im sure that u are just some high school kid. So in all honesty, i could care less about you and ur cute remarks,
Wow you insulted my typing ability. You must be a bainiac. And as for throwing up flames and disrespect, where did that come from> (besides out of ur a$$).
So to end this little squirmish, Im just going to say "got no time for dumbasses"
-
1100 posts to your 26... I know its not that important but Im just saying. I think your picking the wrong fight here. Choose your battles wisely and this is not wise. Don\'t fight over stoopid stuff like this.....
I drive and SUV and I feel alot safer in that then I did in my Ex-GF bug... People die all the time nothing is perfectly safe, just safer, and thats what he was trying to say..
But this is not my fight so peace out....

hmmmm since im currently in college and u claim to be out of high school alot longer then ive been alive, that would make you, lets see 30 something and up? wow what are you doing posting on a forum like this....? Shouldnt you be working? or taking ur kids to school? or somthing to that nature?
-
It\'s dumba$$ people that can\'t drive that get hurt and killed in SUV\'s.
I dunno if I agree with that considering that an SUV is made of the same materials as any normal car. There\'s no special roll cage in an SUV or special seatbelts or anything that makes you safer there then anyother car. If you want protection, buy a hummer. Those things are tanks and will keep you safer then any other conventional car, guaranteed and you can outfit it to hold all your necessary peripherals as you pregress.
What\'s bad about SUV\'s is the spare tire on the rear of the car that sticks out like a sore thumb. My uncle used to tow cars and from his experience of accidents and what not, an SUV\'s repairs for most rear end accidents is always triple that of the other car involved thanks to that spare. What\'s the good of a bumper when your spare tire goes over it? I dunno, some car companies are retarded. -_-

Dood don\'t start putting me down, I was just trying to say be a little less aggresive. But you appearantly can\'t read that well. This is the first time anyone has attacked me on this board, and I must say I thought it would be a little bit more itelligent. You just another worthless poster who has nothing worth saying. And to let you know you made a mistake, and I might forgive you for it you start appologizing now. Im not a mean person but your remarks are not called for...

ummmm ok kirath, you need to go take a cold shower or somthing. I did not insult u or put u down in aneway. If you think i was by my joke of "thats his 1109 to my 28 kirath", then you have been misleaded. Now whats this about calling me a worthless post-er? So if im a worthless post-er ....what does that make you? a "worthful" post-er? LOL you need to chill and calm urself.
-
wats the big deal? so what if you posted alot, do you think that makes you "cool"? <-- posted by you Shigfool
Yeah it make me cool, it makes me real cool. cooler then a polar bear\'s hang-nail as a matter of fact. I think you need to go smoke something and chill out.
And it not about how many posts you have its about the quality of your statements... And you have already proven your self below par.. But it does not matter to me, have fun on your little rants dood.....

once again you have misinterpreted my words. I was not directing that statement at you kirath. And as for you to judge my posts as below par, I think you need to get a life. Who are you to judge what I have posted. Anyways, you must be a real big man to belittle me and my "little rants". Calm yourself and let some of that hot air out of ur head bud, ok "dood" =P
-
I judge what you have to say to me, thats all. And you have not said anything worth while.. If you can\'t understand that, or see that everything you have say is an attack then nevermind.. I did not want this to go this way, but hey what the hell, its always fun to have a newbie to entertain you....
And if I let the air out of my head I could die.... So Im sorry I can\'t do that...
-
just stop this stupid conversation, cause you all think your right, so there comes no end to this, just stop
-
sigh im really disapointed that I have not said anything "worth while" in your opinion kirath. That really hurts my feelings. I think ill just suck it up and go about my every day life. ROFL, heres a tip. Im not attacking you, if you think I am, then you need to get some help cuz you are paranoid.
And as for your statement "I did not want this to go this way, but hey what the hell, its always fun to have a newbie to entertain you.... ". I am glad that my so called "little rants" give you happiness. But dont you think its a little pathetic to find happiness by something so trivial? Psych 101 bud, you need to go take that class.
-
Its the little things in life that make you happy, so thanks dood. Fine, your not attacking me, peace
-
just stop this stupid conversation, cause you all think your right, so there comes no end to this, just stop
wow we\'ve just been slapped with the wisdom stick. you are so right politiepet. After reading this thread again, I can\'t help but laugh as the bickering going on. so taking politiepets advice, i will stop this conversation. =P
-
Cygnus I totally agree about the safety and necessity of SUVs. I live in Boston where we always seem to get some awful weather. We just had a semi-noreaster last week.
I think this thread needs to be closed
BTW, I am not rich. But I am also FAR from struggling.
-
And there is more snow comming to Boston this afternoon. The drive home is gonna suck today.....There was like 8 accidents on 495 and route 290 today. I can just imagine whats going to happen this afternoon..
-
I just wish to point out here that SUVs ARE involved in more accidents in the US than any other vehicle type.
Partly this has to do with the sheer number of SUVs. But it also has to do with SUVs having a higher center of gravity (because of the raised suspensions) that make them much more prone to \'roll-over\' type accidents, as witnessed by the infamous Suzuki \'Sidekick\' and the many accidents involving the Ford Explorer (almost a third of all Explorer accidents involved a \'roll-over\').
A high center of gravity is needed to negotiate difficult terrain. However, it is detrimental to regular road-traveling vehicles, especially high-speed long distance traveling. All the best cars are low-slung to lower the center of gravity so they aren\'t \'tipped-over\' on curves and high speed turns, and are much more stable in emergency braking situations.
In case you didn\'t know BTW, the insurance rates for SUVs are also much higher than the rates for simular types of cars.
-
Yeah I am 30 something. And I did say I have a family, but no kids (just animals). You know videogaming is my thing, that\'s why I\'m here. But I agree, it\'s counter-productive to bicker.
You come off as, well, rude. Just go read your initial post. I have no probs with dissention, but you have to use a little tact. I was obnoxious in some of what I posted, but THAT was a impulsive defensive gesture. Oh well, maybe we both can take pointers.
Also, Regent. It made the news about a month or so ago that Allstate just lowered the rates of SUV insurance citing less injury. Some people are upset about that, but the insurance people are the ones who pay claims, so that\'s their perrogative I guess.
People get over confident in SUV\'s I\'ll grant you that. Hell, the way I see most drivers operate their cars, it\'s no wonder.
:)
-
yup i guess we can learn a little from each other cygnus...........true true........and i give you credit for being 30 something and still into gaming, i know when i get to that age, ill still love gaming just as much. Kudos.
-
Wow. It\'s like a *snif* Hallmark moment.:)
Yeah, they\'ll have to pry the controller out of my arthritis infected cold dead hands. hehehehe.
-
lol *sniff sniff* feel the love in the room. aneways, when i die, ill have my gaming consoles buried with me, along with my games.......that way when Im in the great beyond, I wont be bored...........ROFL
-
/me steals all the free gaming systems from all the dead bodies :D
-
.............you GRAVE ROBBER!!! .........I think ill set up some mines around my tomb stone .........or have a nuclear bomb buried with me, for that extra sense of security.
____________________________________________________
w00t, 50 posts , Im a memeber now.......I feel.....the same.......ROFL

/me steals the nuclear bomb too while purposely pronouncing it nucular. :D

So what\'s wrong with driving around half-nekkid?
It\'s kind of hard to put my PS2 on my Honda scooter though. I used some duct tape, but I have to steer with my feet. But when you drive half-nekkid you definitely have to shave some places.
Anyway it can be done but it hurts when you wreck. Watch those handlebars!
