E3 2010: Gaems Makes the Xbox 360 Slightly More Portable

A portable Xbox 360? Surely this is a job for Ben Heck. A company called Gaems (pronounced "games") is looking to get into that racket too--but without ripping out the console's guts. The company has designed a briefcase-like carrying case for Microsoft's console. Open it up, and you've got a playable system, complete with built-in monitor.

The case is still unnamed; a representative from the company told me that it is running a contest to choose a name. The winner gets a final version of the box, complete with an Xbox 360. The product that was in the booth was also, apparently, a prototype. I'm told the final version will look much cooler.

Gaems is also reportedly working on a new case for the slimmer version of the console. I'm betting the smaller Xbox will make the company's life a lot easier in terms of portability. And the company is looking to create a version with a built-in battery, making for true portability. I remarked that you can't take this thing camping, but the rep insisted that you could, using the company's car charger.

The unnamed, full-size version is slotted for a fall release.
