A plug-n-play is a type of dedicated gaming device that only plays the games programmed to it. Most often they are a budget system that come in varying levels of quality, but are usually offcially licensed products. The name comes from the fact that one can simply remove the device from its packaging, plug it in, and play without any set up.
