Would you like an in-flight PSP game, sir?

Flying can sometimes be a pain, especially those marathons when going international. In-flight movies are there for your entertainment, but as gamers, we’d prefer to just whip out PSPs and play the flight away. Unfortunately, airlines don’t want you playing while they’re flying ’cause you’d mess up the plane’s instruments. For that, IFE Services has come up with a solution.

IFE has partnered up with SCEA to offer specially-made PSPs that you can play in-flight without risking an episode of Air Crash Investigation. The PSPs are “fully certified for use in-flight” and are equipped with extended battery life that lasts for up to 11 hours.

 

Terms of service will likely vary per airline, and it’ll be unlikely they’ll let you stick your memstick into their hardware, and you may have to stick to default ESRB-friendly titles. Still, it’s better than nothing, and a great way to advertise.
