A fun concept car from Nissan apparently is designed just for that. A local tech story which covered concept cars showed this one, and it looked fun. They also integrated the 360 in a cool way which helped to make sure it would not be used when being driven.

Nissan polled Gen Xer's about what they'd want and out came the Urge. A two-seater with a hidden third, its doors can be opened with a Bluetooth phone.
But the hidden secret in the trunk is an integrated X-Box 360 gaming system.
“None of the gaming will work while the car is in gear, for safety and legal reasons,” Kenneth Paul of Nissan said. “You have to be in park with the emergency brake on.“
Now playing X-Box in your car alone is pretty cool, but it actually gets even cooler. When you put the car in park and pull the emergency brake, you pull the steering wheel forward and then it, and the pedals, become your controller for racing games on the X-Box.
"It disengages it from the actual wheels of the car, so I can turn the steering wheel without moving the car, and that allows me to connect to X-Box,” Paul said.
Just remember to drop your gaming road rage once you resume control of the actual car.
