Doesn't matter if your Japanese airplane looks like this or not, you won't be able to get your wireless gaming on. The country's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is aiming to ban using wireless functions on portable game devices like the DS and the PSP on the basis that it can interfere with the aircraft's instruments. Passengers are still able to play their portables on the planes. That is, with the wireless function off and when the seatbelt sign is turned on. Thought that was pretty much standard everywhere and has been for a while now. Does this mean before it was perfectly alright to play wireless games on Japanese airplanes?! Brian Ashcraft
