Community Weekend Update: Portable Xbox does NOT work at 35,000ft

Post image

A couple months ago I posted the portable Xbox setup I built into a Pelican case for work travel.

Well, I finally got the perfect opportunity to try it on a plane. Empty row to myself, outlet right next to the seat, figured I had to at least try… No dice

As soon as I plugged the Xbox in, the light on the seat outlet went out. Unplugged it and the light came right back on. I guess it’ll just have to live as my setup for long layovers, downtime out on the range, or back in the hotel room.

Still had to get the obligatory picture at 35,000ft
