Sony just turned out the Rolly music player in black. A surprise blown by the FCC just last week. At least we can wonder at the colorful end-caps at a cost of ¥1,500 (about $15) per.

..’Fullmoon’ sideboard furniture has the ability to ‘create special effects’ in the dark. I assume that means it glows in the dark or maybe it shoots laser beams

Each track had a completely different flavour. From the gently swaying trees and difficult to dodge cows in the meadow course to the conveyor belts and crane-carried platforms in the Toad’s factory course, each track brought back a fond new memory of a Nintendo title from yesteryear but presented them with fresh style

Designed by Christian Zuzunaga, the “Pixel Couch” is essentially a “gaming room dream seat.” No word yet on pricing or availability. Click here for first picture in gallery.

Sure, the lack of full back pillow coverage could become irksome, but you’ve got to learn to sacrifice for your art. We couldn’t spot the price online, but assume you have to sacrifice a bit for your purchases, too

This nifty Star Wars Death Star/Darth Vader Transformers from ThinkGeek changes from one form to another with just some twisting and pulling. Video after the break. Click here for first picture in gallery.
