Now they should make a Zippo of a memorable console

 

[Jerky_san]

I noticed it says made in the USA o_o that's irony..

 

[Guest]

I would love one of those!!! Europe ;]

by far the dorkiest and most pathetic thing i have ever seen

 

[skykaptain]

unless you count playing with fire as a game.

Didn't your parents tell you playing with fire is dangerous?

I'll take one of these Zippos, at least it is made in the USA.

 

[crazymech]

I don't know about you. But I'd buy one ASAP.
They look awesome!

Absolutely love the Mega Drive version (Genesis to the Yanks). Its way way more iconic than the Saturn which was a bit of a failure in my opinion. Bring em over to the UK, I dont smoke, but Id have one of these for the cool factor and for lighting candles and maybe even to save my life in a potential survival situation.....hmmm right!

Actually I think they would have a hard time selling that in the U.S. There would be lawsuits galore as the universal thought that a console gaming machine is marketed toward minors and by making a lighter look like a console then the company would be involved with targeted minors in the use of smoking. Remember the whole Camel the Camel cartoon character? I know it sounds dumb but whatch it happen.

Considering this is a tech site I think it's fair to say the majority of the userbase is made up of geeks/nerds/beardy basement dwellers so this would go down a storm!

what a coincidence... im in need of a new lighter. Sega is awesome! I still have mine hooked up.

But remember, practically anyone who's ever played a Saturn or Genesis is plenty old enough to smoke (or drink) now.

Oh, and his name was Joe Camel.

When I read the title I thought it would play the games too =( With PSP and DSi having more than enough computing capacity it should be possible despite the obvious problem with it also being used to set fire!

Who am I kidding, they could just use an iPhone with less explosion and more fire!

But really if these were ever offered in america it would be online or @ a truck stop.
But Id say id buy one for the hell of it. AND if i ever really needed it i could say afterwards that games helped me out

 

[ominous prime]

I don't smoke, but I'd buy one.

 

[mlopinto2k1]

If you bought that here it would be made in China, idiots.

Finally my country makes something some one in another country will actually want.
