Hi whr2206,

I don't have a PS2, but I doubt there will be any problems. It's a console after all, so it's designed to take some bumping and crashing. As long as it isn't smashed really hard (ex. the car suddenly breaks and the console slams into the back of a seat), you shouldn't have any problems. As for the CD, there's nothing really that can scratch it inside the console, I don't know how much "skip/shock protection" the CD reader in the PS2 has though. Hope that helps.

yeah...my friend once did it, and he said one of his little(dmanit forgot name) thingy fell off the ps2 inside, now he cant play dvd games b/cause that part is broke (till it gets back from sony) but damn i cant be in the van for that long for sooooo long....roanoke regional airport is rediculous...when it comes to prices, so thats not really an option....for my starving parents working for motorola...and roanoke city public shcools we are short on cash....

It has been my experience that books tend to travel well, too.
The only problem you might happen upon would be crossing the Mason-Dixie line. Pennsylvania roads are absolutely horrible. No joke. I think PA gets the most federal money for road maintanence, yet the roads still stink. Once you see that welcome sign, be prepared to dodge some house-sized potholes.

I really do not think you will have any troubles. We used to do the same thing in our Sub with Nintendo and the VCR for long road trips.

Respectfully,

Demosthenes

Couldn't hurt to put a bed of foam rubber, or some simmilar whatnot to kinda cushion it. Hey you could even go to your local mailboxes etc.. type place (support small buis) and get some sty peanuts and a box and load it vertically in the box in a buncha peanuts, at an angle that the tray could still eject. There by giving the PS2 an almost safe-as-it-is-while-being-shipped-from-the factory_like protection. In fact I have a friend who works at NASA and he could get his hands on a palymer that is about i inch thick but provides the cushion of about 4 matresses. It is designed to crate raw eggs into space for the astronaughts who like to poach thier eggs in low g. Anyways, what was I talkign about?

yeah, i cant sleep on the way up...bump, bump, bump,bump,bump...i cant stand it I have a 64 for back up for the ny trip, but damn long trips...Ill try to get some stuff to coushion it..since he works for motorola (my dad) he ships a crap load of stuff out...so i should be able to get some....then down to florida...i95 is it?? damn i shouldnt have a problem there...cars are right on each others tail the whole way down, and it gets really congested..I odnt need a vcr..i got a tv with vcr built in...so its all good....
