Zvue's Custom Elvis Theme PMP Comes with Pre-Loaded Presley Vids

Kit Eaton — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 06:56:00 EDT

Screw the Journey-themed PMP, this custom Zvue player has real music aboard: from Mr Presley himself. Ten video clips to be precise, and Elvis's signature and photo engraved on the back shell. Part of Zvue's Premier Artists Series, it's got 1GB (expandable to 5GB with microSD,) a 2.4-inch colour TFT screen, FM tuner, voice recorder and will cost about $50 when it's out August 12th in Wal-mart. Uh huh huh. [TFTS]

All-Singing All-Dancing Skinned WowWee Elvis Video

You remember last Friday's Elvis robot from WowWee Alive? You remember how our unboxing got extra creepy when we decided to see what was under the skin of the replicant King? If you didn't think it could get any weirder, watch our video, in which the faceless Elvis robot sings, wiggles and banters with unseen lovely ladies.

WowWee Alive Elvis Robot Unboxed... and Skinned

There was no need to perform a Voight-Kampff test on this skin job. It came from the folks who introduced the world to the Robosapien—and besides, it had infrared vision sensors and no arms or legs. Since we showed you the first glimpse of robot Elvis at CES, we realized that now that it's out, the only direction to go was a full-on skinning in the name of technical appreciation.

That's right, lest ye think we're dissing the King, I want to state, for the record, that we have the utmost respect for the estate of Elvis Aaron (or was that Aron?) Presley, not to mention a positively drooly reaction to anything coming from the WowWee magic shop. Consider this ringing endorsement of one totally crazy product (yours for only $349.99).
