There's no reason to dismantle your vehicle or upholstery to install in-car entertainment systems, all you have to do is be creative, like with this car visor, which houses a 7-inch 16:9 widescreen LCD. Included is a DVD player and a video game console. The DVD player is capable of playing the whole lot of formats including DVD, SVCD, VCD, DVCD, CD, CDG, CD-R and CD-RW. Not only can it play videos, but it includes ports to plug in game controllers for some video game fun. There will be no Gran Turismo or Grand Theft Auto IV , but it does have a selection of 8-bit games capable of entertaining for at least one hour of that 20 hour road-trip with the family. The best feature is its ease-of-use. There's no complicated installation or hacking-and-slashing required. Just replace your current sun visor and give it a little 12V DC juice and you're ready to go. It even includes an FM transmitter so the whole family can enjoy your horrible taste in movies.

Gran Turismo 5 may still be a little ways off, but Logitech is already jumping to have an official steering wheel available for this long-anticipated PlayStation 3 title. It was developed by Logitech and Polyphony Digital, and includes a lot of features that will tighten the trousers of any driving enthusiast. The force-feedback system is capable of simulating oversteer, understeer and traction loss. It includes paddle shifters and a standard stick shift. Probably one of the better features is the 24-position adjustment dial on the wheel. This little red doodad will allow you to adjust brake bias, TCS and damper settings on the fly. The wheel will be available in May for $150. [ Driving Force GT via Uncrate ]

In today's episode of Adventures in Branding we stray away from the usual unusual branding suspects of Porsche and Ferrari and take a look at Renault, by way of their F1 squad and its backgammon set. In this case, "branding" doesn't mean simple slapping a Renault logo on the set, but actually constructing the board game out of materials taken from Formula One cars. The set includes (of course) carbon fiber, sterling silver, leather and Permaglass F1. Boy, those French sure do love their backgammon and their F1. But do they love them enough to drop--gulp!--$27,000? [ Product Page via Bornrich ]
