Best Buy Gift Card Doubles as Speaker

by Mark R in Audio/Video Gadgets

We at Coolest Gadgets have already covered how Target has somehow turned their $50-1000 gift cards into a 1.2 megapixel camera. It appears that Best Buy has gotten in on this gift card doubling as another device action with a gift card that doubles as a speaker.

That’s right, if a Best Buy customer wants to pick up a gift card that is $50 or higher, he or she has the option of having one that serves as a miniature speaker. It comes with a 3.5mm jack that can connect to an iPod or other audio gadget, and will produce some excellent external sound.

I’m not certain how thick this Best Buy card is, but I can’t imagine it being as thin as a normal credit card. In other words, do you really want to put this in your wallet?

Anyway, you should be able to get the Best Buy Gift Certificate speaker now, and even have it shipped to you with free shipping.

Okay, I suppose that’s all I have to say about that. I would like to open up the comment section up to other ideas for gift certificates. For example, what about a McDonalds gift certificate that doubles as a Zune?

That’ cool. I bet this is the future of gift cards right here. Something similar to it.

I am wondering if the PhotoBlocker is legal in California. With all the laws we have here,it would not suprise me one bit.

Why would I want a gift card that is a speaker it is cool but am I really going to hold on to for the future. Like I have a GC from Home Depot that doubles as a tape measure but after I used the GC I threw it away. Why not give me that $.30 they sent on making that gift card toward my purchase.
