how do you plan to play your xbox with personal theater sunglasses?
A truly wise man can entertain a thought without accepting it. A fool cannot withhold past judgments but instead closes his mine to new possibilities. Someone who wants to innovate simply needs to forget what everyone says isn't possible.

they have composite input on them. easy.

as for how many batteries you would need for 3 hours, probably 6, to be safe. that would be worthless though. it would take like 60 hours to fully charge that battery pack. :wink:

This is the most economical solution.



Seriously, where are you going to be playing a 360 for 3 hours without any electricity?

That won't do, it's only 75W. You'd need a real power inverter.

if i used 3 of those batteries it would be equal to 225w and the xbox needs 160w to work but my main question is how long will that charge last?
