Some Xbox 360 mods are the product of
serious craftsmanship, some are
rather silly, and some -- like this Suzuki automobile console / Xbox 360 game console hybrid -- really give one pause. This isn't the sort of thing that one spends moments / hours / weeks on, after which he reflects for a moment ("Aren't I rather clever?"), and then hides it safely in the closet (or sells it on eBay). No, this is an automobile. We're guessing that the slight cringe of embarrassment he's going to feel when picking up his date for the cotillion will be outweighed by the safety and security he feels knowing that he can always play 'Super Smash Bros. Brawl' -- even on the road.
According to the photo's description on
Flickr, this car features not one but
two Xbox 360s, two projectors, and two flat screens. The game controllers are availabe at a moment's notice -- including one in the steering wheel, one in front of the gear shifter -- and one of the 360s is set in the dashboard. Oy vey. [Via

Looks great, but what about an airbag deployment? Think this guy will have to have the controller surgically removed from his face.

When an air bag deploys it pushes the cover of the steering wheel up or down depending on the car. so really it will either have to be removed from the ceiling, or somewhere much much worse.

Good luck playing Smash Bros on any Xbox....
Anywho, it's probably a show car... at least I hope so.

Now I know the people writing stories for "Switched" are a bunch of stupid noobs.
"Super Smash Bros." is exclusively Nintendo and is found only on Nintendo consoles. The XBox 360 is a Microsoft console.
Now, if the article made mention of, say, any installment in the "Halo" series, then it wouldn't have been such a glaring error.
Thanks for shooting yourselves in the foot "Switched." You've made it easier to sort out credible sources from those that can't be taken seriously at all.

I can't really put in to words the insta-rage I experienced when I read this article. If you're going to write an article for a tech website of any kind, do a little research first.
I really hope you aren't getting paid for this Flatley.
Really.
