So today I've got something really cool to unbox. I have the G155 mobile gaming
environment. And I think what they mean is briefcase designed entirely to fit a
console and a screen inside. Now it comes with the screen, but it does not
come with the console or the controllers or Okay, here we go. Console and
accessories not included. So that's that's that's important right there.
Although it does include some accessories. It does include an HDMI cable. So, speaking of HDMI, it comes
with a 15.5 in HD LED display, an HDMI
dedicated input, stereo speakers, and dual audio jacks. Over on the other
side, you can see it is designed for PlayStation 3 Slim, Xbox 360, so that's
more slimmer than the original Xbox 360, which it is also designed for, although
some Xbox 360 consoles will require the use of a component to HDMI converter.
Oh, okay. Hey, I guess that's the older ones that did not come with HDMI. All
right, the G155 is a self-contained mobile gaming environment that lets you
stay in the action when you're on the move. Just strap in your gaming console,
store your accessories, select your favorite games, and you're good to go. The G155's integrated HD display, stereo
speakers, and dual headphone jacks will immerse you in your favorite game wherever you are. Just pop it open, plug
it in, and play. Cool. The components
that are included, you know what? We'll go through that when we actually open it up. Play. Supports your favorite gaming
console. C. Integrated 15.5 in HD
display lets you catch every detail of your favorite games. Cool. Crank the
integrated stereo speakers and dual 3 and 12 mm headphone jacks and protect.
The rugged case protects all your gaming gear from minor impacts. Now, this next
one is huge. Travel lightweight design
complies with airline regulations and carry-on guidelines. That is cool. So,
you can actually use this to well stand in an airport very inconspicuously. This
guy would not get questioned by airport security. I can guarantee you that. You
can use it to uh to travel or you can
use it to uh recreate that old old MTV
commercial with the chair and the guy being, you know, blown away by the uh by
the music. So, you can do either of those things. Let's go ahead and open
this baby up. Now, I'm not going to be doing a demo with this particular unit
just yet, but I will be following up with one. And
okay, but I will be following up with a
demo of the unit after we do the unboxing video. So, let's have a look at
these accessories that are included. There is a wall wart here, which is
going to so that'll be used to power the screen itself. You will need to plug in
your console separately. So, that is two power jacks for the entire unit once you
put in the console. Next, we have a little tiny HDMI cable, which as you'll
see will be as long as needed for this particular unit. Nice soft closed cell
foam, very durable. Wouldn't worry about this thing getting damaged in shipping
at all with that stuff packed around it. In the bottom, you see the same thing.
And I will go ahead and put this aside while we take out the unit itself.
Wow, it's very cool looking. Well built actually. It feels like like luggage
actually. Okay, so let's take a look at the outside in detail before we open it
up. Great little G logo there on it. All
right, on the bottom you can see we've got rubberized grippy pieces here, here,
here, here, and here. So, when you put this down, it's actually gonna keep it
flat. So, it's Oh, it's a little Okay. Well, right now without a console in it,
it's pretty heavy on the one side, so it might seem inclined to tip over. I
suspect once you put the console in, it's going to sit very easily, and it's
very difficult to move around with those rubber pieces down there. The handle is
right here. So, you can see it's got two metal rods on either side, and that
should be able to support the weight of it, no problem. on this side, which is
clearly meant to be at the bottom. That's where the console sits. You've got one, two, three rubber strips. And
on the other side, as you guys saw already, we have the manufacturer logo.
So, let's go ahead and you know what? Let's put it down here. Just open it up
like that. Lift it open. And that'll be a little
bit easier to do also with a console sitting in it. And there is the mobile
gaming station. So, inside we find a
user's manual. Let's go ahead and take out this little pack here. Got some
Velcro strips to hold down your console.
Cool. Cool.
Okay, let's flip this over.
So, manufactured week 25 of 2011.
All right, we've got an insert here. So, this side is for the PlayStation 3 slim
and Xbox 360. And then this side is for
the Xbox 360. So, since I'll be installing an Xbox 360 in here, I'm
going to go ahead and put that in. So, you can see we have some uh little
padded storage compartments here where you can store things. And then you can
just pull on a rip cord here. You
tighten that up so that it's not going to go anywhere in transit. Okay. Same
thing on the other side. storage compartment here. You can pull on that.
You can cinch it shut and make sure that nothing comes out. This is for securing
the console as I mentioned before. So, these just run through the the loops
which are down here. Okay. So, I would
recommend leaving those. I mean, once you put the console in, you're never going to take it out anyway. So, you
strap it in, velcro it down. Those aren't going anywhere. And now, let's
have a look at the display itself. So, you can see it comes with a protective
plastic cover. So that is a glossy display. All right. Remember guys,
glossy does help with the vibrancy of
the image. Although there are certain disadvantages to glossy style displays
and that is when you don't have adequate shade for the display. You can get a
fair amount of reflectiveness off it. However, check this out. With the
included shroud over the G155 gaming station, it
actually provides some shade to the display. So, if you're sitting in front
of it like this, I would expect that unless you have a light directly behind
you pointed at the screen, you're not going to have too much difficulty with
that because it's going to provide some shape for it. Now, in terms of controls
on the screen itself, let's just come in down here and have a look. So, there is
what appears to be an IR sensor. There's a power button. your stereo speakers
here and here. We've got volume down, volume up, brightness down, brightness
up, uh, a menu button. There is the
power input, and here's the HDMI input.
And this is cool. So, two dedicated headphone jacks. So, if you didn't
already know that this is a special skew
just for this particular unit as far as
the included TV goes, then you should know that by now because A, it has their
logo on it. Okay? And then B, it has not
only the speakers, but also the two headphone jacks. So that means that if
you're on the go, you can plug in either a little wireless headphone thing, which
I have one. They're really handy. And then you can have two separate people using their wireless headphones, or you
can plug in just two regular headphones, and you can have two gamers running at
the same time off the screen without any difficulty. So here, the HDMI cable goes
here, and then it's just going to plug into the back of your console like that.
And then the power cable is going to go right here. And that'll plug into power.
And then power will come off the back of your console, which you can also run to
a nearby power outlet. Speaking of which, the length of the cord might be
relevant to some of you. So, I'll just show you how long it is. So, you should
be able to reach without too much difficulty a nearby wall outlet. In
fact, let's try and find a nearby wall outlet that I can reach from there. Look
at that. Ha, it worked. Success. All
right. So, I look forward to bringing you guys an update once I've had a
chance to actually game on this guy. And thank you for checking out my unboxing
