Fly The Gaming Skies
Maybe it's just me, but I find the prospect of fully wired and wireless airplanes to be a thrilling prospect. With the launch of San Francisco based Virgin America, gamers can have in-flight LAN parties!
- You can plug in to 110v power at every seat.
- Ethernet at every seat connecting to a planewide network.
- First U.S. airline with mood lighting.
- 3000 MP3s onboard every flight.
- Order fresh food when you want it, from the screen at your seat.
- Over 25 pay-per-view movies on demand.
The guys over at BoingBoing got to take a flight and describe all the above and more with photos:

No, not just you Mikey! I kinda crapped myself when I saw this. With prices as low as $149 from NYC to San Fran, I may be on one of these very soon!
How is ordering fresh food a bonus here?
So I would order a bag of peanuts on a little LCD screen, instead of turning my head slightly and asking the stewardess next time she walks by?
Thats retarded.
Also, planewide network?
Everyone on that plane will have access to your shared files. Be aware of that.
Last thought. You play a shooter on one of these planes, I guarantee a paranoid Midwestern housefrau will think you are a terrorist training to take over the plane.
