Tesco Goes into Virtual DVD Sales

by Jay Garrett on December 7, 2009

tesco_softwareTesco – handy for your value baked beans and its competitive MP3 marketplace but it sounds like the supermarket is ready to go into digital video.

We may soon be seeing Tesco Virtual DVD.

The plan is it utilise Microsoft’s Silverlight, the big M’s Flash taunter, and offer the typical features and content that can be found on DVD discs but designed to be viewed on a PC or Mac.

Tesco has partnered with big hitters Warner Bros for the new launch and will offer those who buy the DVDs of either Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and The Hangover an accompanying Virtual DVD copy.

Tesco’s category director for entertainment, Rob Salter, announced that “Tesco is excited to be the first retailer to launch this next-generation movie experience,” and “By partnering with Warner Bros, we tap into its experience as an innovator in the migration of physical formats to digital experiences, and offer our customers a new way of watching two of the biggest movies of 2009.”

Will be a bit different to seeing the chart DVD’s next to the compilation CD’s and snacks.

Are you tempted?

Brothers of Stokholm Wall of Sound – The Worlds Most Powerful iPod Speaker

by Jay Garrett on November 4, 2009

wall-of-soundIf you’re no longer impressed by your iPod dock and friends just stand there; pointing and laughing at the small speakers hooked up to your iPhone – it may be time to scare the living bejeebus out of them!

What you need is a wall of sound – not just any wall of sound though.

You need THE Wall of Sound iPod speaker from Brothers of Stokholm.

The wall is hand-built and made up of 28 individual speakers, each housed in their own chamber.

It even has its own tube amplifier hidden away inside – if you look very carefully at the picture you might be able to spot that little iPod down there.

The pitch reads: “It looks frightening and it IS frightening!” – at 102 kilos, 125 Watt output and 950 x 1250 x 300mm it certainly might require the wearing of brown trousers!

What is scary and rather disconcerting about “the world’s most powerful iPod speaker” is the price – from $4495 plus shipping and the fact that the first batch has already sold out! :0.

If you’re not scared then why not order one now?
