In the IT Crowd Roy and Jen are shown playing Guitar Hero II in one episode In another Roy is shown playing on a Wii with a fictinal game. No footage shown but sound effects can be heard. Also in a different episode Moss can be seen playing F.E.A.R for a breif moment.
Two and a Half Men In one episode you can see Jake playing a PS2 and the sounds of FFX? It refered as 'The New Final Fantasy' throughout the whole episode. In an earlier S01E02 episode it shows Charlie buying an Xbox V1 and a bunch of games. Another episode shows Charlie holding up 3 Xbox games and saying "These are all mutiplayer games." Jake gets a Wii for his b'day one epsiode. Jakes plays a fictional Xbox360 game in one ep.
Head Of State Chris Rocks character is shown playing Fight Night Round 2 or Ready 2 Rumble 2 during a montage, and earlier playing Madden 04 or earlier. Both on PS2.

The Big Bang Theory The 'guys' usualy have Halo 3 split screen sessions once and a while. Sheldon plays Super Mario 64 on "A poorley coded Nintendo 64 emulator."
Soory for long post and any of these that have been mention before.
I was watching Return of the Living Dead 3 again last night and realised that the bad guys in the convenience store are playing a Street Fighter II cabinet. The marquee has been changed to read "Tournament Champion" and there's the usual Hollywood trick of bleeps and bloops from other games playing, but there are occasions where you can see part of the title screen and the map.
Hey another thing about video games in film, is anyone else enraged whenever they do a shot of somebody playing a video game and anyone can see that they're just mindlessly mashing on the buttons. Do they think people are stupid?

Ugh, play your Sonic games. Its a some sort of weird beta for Sonic 1 complete with UFOs in Marble Zone. Everyone knows this.
On the latest episode of House=Season 6 Episode 9, House is playing a PSP go at the beginning of the episode. I can't see what it is he's playing, however.
" As well as Jack Black, Enemy of the State features a TurboExpres, the portable TurboGrafx machine. Not only that, but it misrepresents it as a device that can store and play recorded video footage. Yay Hollywood! "
Damnit! I came here to post about two things: the Doom arcade machine in Grosse Point Blank, and the TurboExpress Portable in Enemy of the State. You got them both. Curses!
I honestly can't think of anything else right now. I think I remember hearing something about a Xbox 360 console in Transformers that transforms into a Decepticon. Can anyone verify this? I'm trying to Google "Xbox 360" and "Transformers", and I'm having no luck with images from the movie.
EDIT: I am, of course, referring to the Michael Bay film. I doubt that it needed any clarification, but you never know.
In Grandma's Boy the lead character, Nick played by Allen Covert is working on game which he also plays with his Grandma called Demonik which was real. It was developed by Terminal Reality and published by Majesco as a tie with a new Clive Barker book and was originally slated as an XBOX release. It slipped back in development and was then aimed as a 360 release. Majesco's financial troubles torpedoed the game before it got released. It's still floating around but is unlikely to pick up a publisher
I can't find a picture, but I'll add it anyway: that new movie about the hot tub time machine (in fact, it's probably called Hot Tub Time Machine or something), one scene has a character playing the arcade version of Super Mario Bros. But what's this I spy? What the hell is that on the side of the cabinet? Peach? But that picture's from Super Princess Peach, which had to come out at least 20 years after this movie's time. You can't slip that crap past a nerd, Hollywood!
Not too sure about this.. watched Night watch (2004) the other night and the game that the dark lord guy Zavulon is playing what looks like a edited version of Mortal combat deadly alliance with custom character models.
I know that - in a truly meta moment - Sakura plays a version of Street Fighter on a handheld in Street Fighter Alpha the Movie , though I can't find an image of it and I couldn't tell you what Street Fighter games came out for handhelds, or what handhelds they came out for (maybe a NeoGeo or something?). Pretty sure it was in black and white (or green and darker green, or whatever) and one of the characters fighting was Mika, if that helps at all.

From my memory of that crappy film, it was a Wonderswan. And it wasn't a Street Fighter game, it was a port of Pocket Fighter. And R.Mika isn't in that game.
Pocket Fighter would make sense but I'm almost certain one of the characters was Mika, although admittedly that's based purely on aesthetics as you can't read a damn thing once you enlarge screens of games like that while keeping the pixel count at round about 4.
Modern Warfare 2 was in NCIS this season, thought that probably doesnt count as its TV. Modern Warfare 2 was however in Kickass!(Which is awesome, Go watch it!) In the scene were he goes to the drug dealers apartment and meets hit girl.
