Make bathtime lots of fun

To
the relief and joy of mothers, wives and girlfriends everywhere, some corporate savior has finally figured out how to
coax dirty gamers away from the couch and into the shower. For a mere £1499.99, this waterproof, anti-mist LCD
screen will let you get your game on even as you wash away the accumulated filth from your weekend-long game-a-thon.
(Added benefit for the puritanically minded: it keeps those idle hands from doing Satan's bidding!) Once you've got a
display in the shower, you'll just have to figure out how to wire your console to it and how to waterproof the
controller you hope to use while showering.
After the most important seat in the house was conquered, it was only a matter of time before the last significant gaming frontier was conquered. Send us a (clean) photo via the tips form if you've managed to get your game on in the shower and we'll do our best to give you a few minutes of fame.

This is great but a big stepback in price >_< I don't take baths so I wouldn't care and when I'm in the shower I like being relaxed so a shower tv wouldn't be of interest for me unless it had a robot in the screen scanning my body for anything bad or warning me of any intruders (psycho anyone?).
The question is... How do you plug your game or PC to it? it seems like you would have to tear down your entire bathroom just to install this =(
Great for those who are getting their future house built from ground up though!

Do you get a rubber ducky with it? :)

Screw that - can I get a DDR pad hardwired into my shower floor?

These things have been standard in Japanese "Love" hotels for ages. However they tend not to be hooked up to anything... interactive. That is left to you and your partner.

GBA + Ziplock Bag = Water Proof gaming. I've been using mine that way for a few years. I haven't attempted to risk it with my DS though.
I would say that getting a handheld laminated would work too, as for waterproofing a controller, that would be pretty hard. Maybe some type of latex rubber over it, like a condom streched out and tied off at the end? I mean, a ziplock bag would work on the controller, but you need to be careful around the cord, unless it's a wavebird or other wireless controller. YOu have to take comfort into account though, which will cause more problems.
