So, we were sent a bunch of weird little cards through the mail at work.




Open them up and, it's an actual screen with a video playing!!




I couldn't leave it at that though, so took a couple home and tore one to pieces.




Turns out, at it's heart is a 256MB memory chip, and a circuit which will play any mp4 files you put on there, and there's a USB port which lets you just use it as a plug & play external drive, and which will recharge the battery. There are buttons for power, pause, play and next video.

So my plan, is for some scenery featuring a big billboard which I can get to play whatever video file I feel is appropriate! Any ideas for what videos I should put on there?

I wonder how much it costs them to make those. Gotta be the most expensive "junk" mail Ive ever seen.

That is incredible, wish I had junk mail like that. What a brilliant idea.

As for videos to play, it depends what kind of scenery you make it into. You could play adverts, or propaganda styles to be fitting with the theme of an imperial world.

How about the regimental standard for inspiration maybe some 50s style informational videos
