Waiting at the airport is boring. Travelers usually spend their time at lounges having a cup of cappuccino while flipping through the Wall Street Journal. For the ladies, they would check out the duty free shops. How about indulging in a game of Final Fantasy XIII on the PS3 instead?
Well, Hong Kong International Airport have set up fourteen Sony Playstation 3 games poles at various locations for free public access, including areas near the boarding gates at Terminal 1 and the Coach Station at Terminal 2. These PS3 kiosks come complete with the platform’s biggest titles such as Final Fantasy XIII, James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Assassin’s Creed 2.
This is indeed a fairly interesting approach as it entertains game addicts who are craving for a game or two while waiting for their flights. An October 2009 study by Cimigo showed that departing passengers’ dwell time at Hong Kong International Airport is about four hours, with an average of over three hours being spent within the restricted area.
