Japan Airlines offers DS Lites in-flight

Japan Airlines has announced that first and executive class passengers on its flights will be able to request a DS Lite simply by yelling HOLD IT! at the nearest flight attendant. Actually, they'd probably prefer that you ask politely, but as far as we're concerned they get what they deserve by failing to stock each plane with a hundred copies of Phoenix Wright. One of the numerous terms and conditions lists the fact that the DS Lites for JAL will be specially manufactured without Wifi. Apparently, a bit of multiplayer gaming isn't worth messing with the pilot's ability to fly the plane.

Other amusing T&Cs:

• "Please read the game manual carefully before playing" - zOMG n00bs.

• "The service is limited to one console per passenger." - jeez, I can play at least three consoles simultaneously... in my sleep.

• "The Civil Aviation Law prohibits the use of these consoles during takeoff and landing." - good luck to the flight attendant tasked with retrieving two dozen DS Lites from a plane full of people claiming that they're "nearly at the next save point!"

• "If you do not experience at least seven bucket loads of fun after kicking Princess Peach's ass in Mario Kart DS, then you forfeit your right to be present on the aircraft. If you find yourself in this situation, please exit out of the nearest emergency exit. This T&C brought to you by Nintendo Corporation." - possibly a bit harsh, but we can see where JAL's coming from.
