Could This be used as a case

I was a work today and saw this thing, it doesn't play DVDs, only its own format, then i saw that it had a d-pad and a & b buttons, Hmm. Any ways i thought that it would look cool if someone found a way to put say a noac in this thing what do you all think.

Edit: it is called VideoNow XP

VideoNow...they suck crap. I suppose you could gut it, put a new screen in, and make use of it. Although, I doubt you would ever use it with a D-pad like that.

they are supposed to play games eventually, but all the prospective titles I've seen were more interactive movies--but my first thought on it was that it might be a vcd player with a built in noac...it's not, because life is just cruel

that said, why not just buy a vcd (or dvd) player with a built in noac and be done with it? They sell them on the ebay all the time. or at scary import markets

might want to look into "video then" on sourceforge, dunno of they have a videonow color version or not

Why would you buy this brand new, just for the case?

I've seen those in the stores, they suck big time. Especially now, concidering portable DVD players are plummeting in price.

But yeah I guess you could use it as a case, but buying it brand-new just for that seems kinda expensive...

Would the screen be usable or is it like the gamegear(you know you can't use it).
