    Re: Who takes their console with them on the road?

    Thanks everyone. Might not be worth the trouble if they make a big deal out of scanning it and it holds us up. It's already our first flight with our baby, so we probably don't need any further complications. Not to mention the grief I'll get from the wife just for taking it in the first place...

      No one wants to see you stinking it up with Dortmund anyway.

        I only have The Show for PS3. Squeezing every last bit of life out of my original 360. Nice try... BTW, did you hear you're leading the Serie A sack race?

          Yup. I got an e-mail from the board reinforcing it too.

            I always take mine with me when I'm gone for an extended period of time.

            It usually doesn't take them too long to look at it. You just basically take it out and they press all the buttons on it, sometimes swab it for some reason, doesn't take more than 5 minutes.

              When I moved up here to Alaska, I had my 360 as carry-on. They made me remove it from my bag so they could look at it, but it was relatively pain-less. But I didn't have a wife to rag on me for it in the first place, so maybe it's a different experience for you...

                I fly every week, but I've only flown with a 360 after I bought in a tax free state. All you have to do is take it out of the bag and put it in a separate bin, just like a laptop. There will be no hassles, unless you get selected and then they will just wipe it with a pad to check for bomb residue. If you don't remove it from the bag, then it will cause problems.

                DON'T pack it in the checked luggage though. It might not be in your bag when you get it.

                Also, since you're new to flying, if your bags are close to the carry on bag sizes, take them with you through security. You get 1 bag for each person, your baby also counts, and then 1 personal bag (backpack, purse, etc). Then just have them check it at the gate. This is free and a way to get around the airlines horrible baggage fees.

                  I've had this happen to me, it makes you hate yourself for going through all the trouble

                    Take the console and leave the wife at home. I think that solves everything.

                        Ha, this conversation just came up last night between me and my wife. Were going home in a week and a half and I told her I'm thinking of taking the PS3 with me. She was like, "uhh were going home to visit our famalies for Christmas and we will be busy, were not going home for you to play video games." LOL..still undecided what I want to do.

                                I flew back home in August and took the 360 with me. Had it in my backpack and going through security was easy. All I had to was take it out the bag.
