PS 2 For The Road?

[Craig]

We're leaving soon for a road trip with the kids. I have a VCR hooked up to a flip down TV in the car. I went to Circut City and bought the RCA A/V plugs I need but when I asked if the PS1 DC Adaptor would work on the PS 2 I was told it wouldn't work. The person said I need a 300 watt inverter...is this true?

Any help would be appreciated.

i dont know if what the salesman told you was true but i did get a jensen 300w inverter off ebay for 15.50 originally selling for 80 at bestbuy.com.

The PS2 is nowhere near 300watts.. I've used a 75 watt invertor on my PS2 playing for hrs and hrs.. a laptop is around 20 watts.. the PS2 probably wont be anywhere more than 50 if that.. good luck

If I didn't have a PS2, my recommendation would be to look on the back and see if the wattage is listed.

Since I have one, I looked...and it is: 79W.

Thanks guys... Sketch, your right, that would be the obvious answer and that was my plan for this evening. But now that you've done my work for me I can spend this evening school'n my 9 year old boy in GT3

Really though, Thanks for the info I'll go get the 140watt inverter for $40.00 and the kids will be content for the trip!

I assume you don't have a flip down in the NSX? I know, stupid question.
I have the PS2 in the glove box running to the nav pod on dash. Works/looks great !

The PS2 does take a lot of juice though. My PS1 would run with my inverter with my car turned off. The PS2 kills it. I have to start the car for the PS2 to run off the inverter.

So does that PS1 adapter work on the PS2? I want to know too.
