Anyone selling a PS2 with games or a DVD player for the car?

I know Jarrod's is being bought by Darrick.

Hard wire and hard mount the inverter. Make sure it can breath

A 300 watt invertor is on like 30-40 bucks. Go with a little extra incase you decide to plug something else in.

Man I am still unsure what to do..
Whether to get a PS2 or just a DVD player..
I already got a gaming console - Dreamcast.
But the thing bout Dreamcast, the cd opens upwards, so there is no good way to mount it in the car unlike the PS2.
PS2 auctions are hard on EBay and barely save any $.
Someone recommend me what to do! Thx

Put a computer in your car

DVD, MP3, Navigation, front and rear mounted cameras, OBDII interface, and all the PC games your hard drive will hold!! But that is just what I would recommend

I had to order another screen. The first one I ordered was too big and would not fit where the stock NAV system goes. The new screen should be here tomorrow. I should have it all in place for the Saturday meet. If not, I will bring the pieces parts so you can see what I have planned

I think I am gonna go with a DVD player instead of a PS2 or a game console in the car. I would rarely be able to enjoy the game console but the DVD can just play and I'll glance at it when waiting at a light or whatever. Plus a DVD player would be a lot easier to connect, no power inverter required, no extra hassle, etc.

In any case, which DVD player should I get?

Pyle PLDVD86 Mini Mobile DVD Player MP3 CDR - $117 shipped

BOSS DVD-2500 MOBILE DVD PLAYER - $134 shipped

Please advise!
