I guess in summary is, yes it should be pretty safe to play wireless multiplayer when you're in the plane but if the people tell you to turn it off. Don't argue with them!

Bah! you young whippersnappers and your mp3 whatevers. in my day, we used to lug around music on our shoulders with giant boom boxes!! Ah. Good times.

In any case, its not something that you should deliberately set out to do on a plane, but wifi mode isnt going to crash the plane just by you turning it on.

I say, play all the darn wi-fi till the battery bleeds midnight, just be informed that you might end up landing (horizontal or vertically) on a different destination, place, location, thats all!

But no matter what happens, DO NOT, I REPEAT (pressing the caps button down REALLLY HARD), DO NOT bring snakes on the plane. EVER.

Thank you.

I have always wanted to play a brand New DS Lite on an airplane, a mile high in the air.  I have just found out I will have my chance to fulfill my life long dream.  Japan Airlines (JAL) will now be supplying custom made DS Lites for their Executive or First Class passengers.  These bad boys have had their WiFi capabilities removed, so they would not interfere with the airplanes navigation systems and other fancy expensive things.  Two of the four playable games on your travels will be Mario Kart DS and DS Golf. The  flights from Tokyo to LA, NY, Chicago, San Francisco, London, Beijing and Guanghzou, will be the ones you will be able to enjoy your Dual Screened pleasures. This unfortunately is not a permanent arrangement, the extra entertainment will only last until August 31st.


heh he.... guess none (well almost) of us here will never experiance this.

I don't get it, why waste money on modding DS and then take it away a few months later?

If i were sitting first class, I would be too busy getting the hot japanese stewardesses to layan me for 18 hours rather than play the DS.
