To old for disney, but too young for MP3s? Meet the M Player!

Jill — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 08:20:15 +0000

iRiver and Disney introduce their new creation: The M Player! This officially endorsed product is shaped like the world’s most famous mouse, and is so small in size it can fit into even the tiniest kid’s pocket. It has a diameter of only 30mm and a weight of 18g, so while this player may get you noticed, you’ll barely notice it’s there. Not only that, it’s super easy to use to, and has enough functions to make sure it’s a great player as well as a must have fashion accessory! You control the player by twisting the ears. The left controls the volume and the right is for fast forward and rewind. It has about 9 hours playback on a fully charged battery and a pretty impressive 1GB storage which is enough for about 250 tracks (or the entire High School Musical discography)

The shape and bright colours alone show that this player is aimed at kids – and I think it’ll be a great stocking filler this year. Available now from Advanced MP3 Players for just £29.99

Guitar Hero has created millions of home based rock stars, but now they want to set the rockers loose by removing those walls. With the Guitar Hero – Air Guitar Rocker you start by attaching the ‘heavy metal’ belt buckle to your waist and then plugging it in to the contained amp or your own sound system. To play you simply strum the included plectrum in time in front of the belt buckle. There are ten built-in riffs straight from the first two Guitar Heroes including Motorhead, Black Sabbath and Van Halen.
Air Guitar Rocker is due for release on 27/06/2008 and is available for pre-order today from Play.com

Mario Tries to Get 1UP on Mr T

Jack — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 21:17:00 +0000

The Nintendo Wii is undoubtedly one of the best games consoles we’ve played, but for many of us Nintendo just can’t reproduce the magic of the original Mario games. Lucky for us Firebox are trying to help recreate the magic with the Super Mario Bros Sound FX keyrings.

Re-enact the shenanigans of Mario the plumber with 6 classic sounds including Big, Coin, 1Up, Jump, Start and Ouch. As with any noisy toy please remember that if you’re buying this for someone else’s kid, they’re bound to return the favour.

Available now from Firebox for £7.95
