If you're incensed about wasting your weekend (and part of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-hopefuls-shot-with-bbs-at-kentucky-best-buy/">last week</a>) cruising around in <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/ps3-crime-spree-part-ii-fall-of-man/">futility</a> trying to <a href="http://hsp.engadget.com/2006/11/17/so-did-you-get-a-ps3/">locate a Playstation 3</a> or <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/19/wii-launch-wrap-up/">Nintendo Wii</a>, the GamerBUS can provide the ultimate painkiller -- provided you live around the Virginia Beach area, that is. If you've got 63 friends or so, and you're not claustrophobic, you can pack your posse into the 37-foot customized <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/the-rv-with-a-slide-out-roadster-hold/">RV</a> and get your game(s) on. Sporting a bevy of comfortable seating options, sixteen <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Xbox360/">Xbox 360</a> "gamer stations" (pictured after the jump) with their own 23-inch <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/category/philips/">Philips</a> HDTV, and all the CAT5 cable / electricity you could ever need, this redefines the party on wheels. Essentially offering a mobile gaming LAN, the bus operators will gladly wire up a 16-person system-linked round of Halo 2 (or a variety of other titles) while you provide the Cheetos and air fresheners. Although weekday hours boast an understandable discount, weekend rates range from $125 to $150 per hour, depending on how long you occupy the vehicle.
