I would like airlines to rent video game console and soft games inflight, so I can keep my son busy. The back of the seat would have an LCD display with a jack for game console input. The game console would be very small (like the size of PSP) and would allow me to rent games from a selection. The airline can ask me whether I need this service when I book the ticket, and even ask the names of games I would like to see or types of games I would like to see. They would also provide me with rental controllers to play it.

This is being done at some motel's in america You can go to the front desk and rent a game that they will put into the console behind the desk for your room then when you get back to your room and hit the GAME button on your remote that game will already be running!

i like the idea... i fly a lot and would most likely use that if the fee wasn't too high... it could also just let you bring on your own game... as a safety thing it could be put into like a metal/hard plastic box under the seat so you and the airline doesn't have to worry about soda spilling on it or something like that... it's just a suggestion lol...

This is a bad idea. First, airlines are already struggling with money due to extremely high fuel cost. If you want your son to be entertained, bring something to entertain him, it is not the responsibility of the airline to babysit your child. If you can buy a ticket for your son, you can also invest in a game boy or something of the like. Don't be so demanding of airlines, if you want things like video games, buy your own airplane or fly an expensive airline that will cater to your every need.

I think airlines can make more money doing this. It is another value add for them.
