Title: Can you hook up a system to the TVs at the Marriott?
Post by: Gatsby on September 30, 2008, 03:25:22 PM
I was thinking for next year I'd bring my Wii and DDR gear (or other games) so my roommates and I can have some parties in our room.

You can hook up Video Game systems (or anything A/V composite) to the TVs at the Marriott.

As for component hookups, unless there's a hidden channel to access, it won't be plug-and-play like the front A/V ports are.

You CAN plug only AV cables into the tvs at Marriott, despite there being an HDMI port. I asked the technician guy when he came up, and he helped me plug in my PS3. Course, it was only standard definition, but oh well.

How about the Hilton?

How about the Hilton?

As of last year, no. However, their renovations are set to include replacing ALL of their TVs with new flat screen monitors that will have easy access AV connections.

However, it is uncertain whether the Hilton will be open to members this year according to some of the staff, so that part is still TBD. However, if they do allow members to stay at the Hilton, expect to be able to hook up your systems there. Also, every Hilton room comes with a mini fridge. So that's a nice bonus...

^_^ Cool so I will be bringing my Wii, DDR, and Super Smash Bros. I'll just have to find a way to keep it safe.

I'd really recommend leaving the DDR at home. o_o; I'd imagine the people staying in the room below you won't appreciate your DDRing. Maybe that's just me though.

For money. I'm not wasting my time to play against these people if it's not for money.

Hmm, I couldn't get mine to work this last year, even called down to the desk and asked. Was told it wouldn't work. I'll just have to try again next year with my Wii or Xbox.
