Taking PS3 on plane with me. Advice on how to keep it safe?

Kind of nervous about taking it. I think I'll put it in its own bag full of pillows. Does anyone have any tips of how I should take it to make sure nothing happens?

you can probably buy those bubble wraps and cover it. though i dont remember where to get them from.Meowmixxvi

When you go through security at an airport and your PS3 is in a carry on bag you have to take it out like you would for a laptop. I would know, I didn't know and I holded up the line and got some looks from the security guards :P

Okay, I cant get an official carryign bag or bubble wrap by tomorrow, so Im going to have to settle for the bag of pillows, and then keep it with me on the flight.

You dont have a book bag? Just put a pillow in the book bag and the ps3 in it.

Just wrap it in a towel and put it in a book bag.

I definitely wouldn't stow it.emitsu97

I was in your shoes this summer. The best thing you can do is to buy a case for it and carry it with you. If you don't want to buy one, try fitting it in a laptop case or your carry-on bag. But I wouldn't put it with your luggage if I were you.

Bring it as a carry on. Easy enough....

I've had it with these ************* PS3's on this ************* plane

But honestly buy a special carry case

Carry on bag. Pillow. PS3. Blanket

My father has had multiple valuable things stolen from him while flying. Ever since then, I put all of my vlauable electronics in my carryon. The hassle of carrying it through the plane and putting it above/below is much less than the hassle of being a new ps3 altogether.

yeh a good tip is not to throw it out of the plane...:D

buy the carrying case or a laptop case, thats what i do. Keep it as carry on.. horrible experiences with luggage.

Dont wrap it in anything. When i flew out of o' hare the tsa lady took it to a seperate scanning device away from the normal one.

They are signs in most major stating specifically removal of game consoles

Laptops, Full-size Video Game Consoles and Other Large Electronics

Effective August 4, 2007, laptop computers, full-size video game consoles (for example Playstation®, X-box®, or Nintendo®), full-size DVD players, and video cameras that use video cassettes must be removed from their carrying cases and submitted separately for x-ray screening. Laptop computers and video cameras that use cassettes have long been subject to this policy.

What Needs to be Screened Separately

• Laptops
• Full-size video game consoles
• Full-size DVD players
• Video cameras that use video cassettes
• CPAP breathing machines

Small and portable electronic items do not need to be removed from their carrying cases.

keep it close to u at all times and dont put it overhead

Sometimes, I'll just wrap it in a thin blanet for a carry one so you'll have a blanket with you for whatever reason.

Stick it up your butt. No one will ever look there. 

get one of those carrying bags where u put ur entire ps3 and accessories in there and carry it on the plane with u and put it over ur head or under ur feet. thats the best way. when i went to vegas to visit my mom i did the same thing. and it was fine.JoKeR_421

Post it to the address your going to,it will be insured that way and taken good care of and could even be waiting for your arrival all plugged in n ready to play/ just a thought,but it would cost ya some moulah(cash)

I remember bringing my PS2 with me on a trip to Japan. I simply put in the suitcase sandwiched between clothes and checked it in. It was fine on the trip and back. It's still fine up to now. Then again, the PS2 is built like a tank. Not sure about my fat PS3 though. I'd probably keep it in my backpack as a carry-on.
