Post - Xbox 360 vs. Laptops?? 12-inch LCD monitor for the 360 announced


Quote:
April 16, 2007 - Microsoft's oft-rumored plans for a portable Xbox may have just been spoiled. The latest peripheral from the same folks that brought the world the Onimusha sword controller and the Final Fantasy X-2 gun controller promises to deliver true Xbox 360 gaming on-the-go. Assuming you've got a bag big enough to house an Xbox 360.

Hori finalized today release plans for the Compact TFT Monitor EX, an LCD monitor that can be attached to your Xbox 360 with minimal effort. The 36,750 yen 12.1 inch monitor outputs 720p and gets its signal from the 360 via analogue RGB. Sound is output via stereo speakers below the monitor, or you can plug in headphones.

It looks pretty slick, but the downside is that you'll still need to find a place to plug in the power adapter for the XBOX 360 and the monitor; no batteries are included..
(but I wouldn't be surprised if they come up with a batterypack sooner or later as well..)
