While we Americans are forced to spend our layovers trying not to get chosen for random cavity searches, folks who end up with some free time at Hong Kong International Airport are given a much more pleasant distraction. According to travel news site The Moodie Report, HKIA now plays host to more than a dozen PS3 "game poles," which give visitors a chance to check out a number of the platform's biggest titles, like Final Fantasy XIII and Uncharted 2. Sounds like a pretty neat idea -- we're just glad Modern Warfare 2 isn't one of the featured games. That'd be ... uncomfortable.

If these things ran DDR, would players then be called "pole dancers"?

LOL!. I think that's the reason why, Modern Warfare 2 isn't in there.

Ha! Imagine the look on people's faces if they were to walk by and see the "No Russian" level being played. It's a good thing they won't be able to.

they've had the kiosks there for several months now.
@f23ghost well if you're on a flight to the US, they're afraid the terrorists are conspiring with you after you get within the security area. Plus its kind of weird that you're bringing so much water when there is water on the flight.
