Low cost high quality karaoke add-on opens up the market

(PRWEB) November 20, 2003

Wild Things, the leading manufacturer of video games accessories and peripherals, are delighted to announce that the launch of their You Can Karaoke System has been an immediate success.

Over 50,000 units have been shipped in the first 6 weeks.

Designed for compatibility with DVD players, Playstation 2 and XBox (remote required), the system is bringing fun and entertainment to the whole family. With around 5 million consoles and 11 million DVD players in UK homes, the market was crying out for a high quality, low cost add-on to liven up the living room.

Wild Things have teamed up with the world’s leading karaoke DVD publishers to provide an exclusive, professional package. Gone are the days of CD Graphics (CDG) karaoke with boring blue screens – the Wild Things system, comes with a full DVD video on every track, especially created to enhance the karaoke experience. Professional backing singers and musicians create the best quality karaoke titles in the business - in the style of the original artists.

This catalogue is currently being used by all the top pro KJ’s.

There are currently 15 titles in the catalogue ranging from the latest Chart Hits Volume to Kylie, from Elvis to J-Lo from Atomic Kitten to Eminem . A further 5 will be ready for launch of the system and the company will release a new up to date Chart Hits DVD every 8 weeks. Each DVD contains 12 tracks.

There are over 7000 tracks already recorded and ready for launch in the future, ensuring long-term interest and ongoing support.

The interface itself is fully portable, pocket sized and battery driven so that you can quickly set it up anywhere where there is a DVD. It comes with a high quality pro microphone, with echo control and a set of leads. A second mic can be added. A free DVD is also included in the package. This DVD contains a mix of latest, chart hits, ballads and karaoke favorites. This is not a sampler – it is a full high quality DVD with the following content:

Sk8er Boi - Avril Lavigne

Beautiful – Christina Aguilera

Hero – Enrique Inglesias

Baby One More Time – Britney Spears

Rock Your Body – Justin Timberlake

Heaven – DJ Sammy

Get The Party Started – Pink

The Locomotion – Kylie Minogue

New York, New York – Frank Sinatra

Summer Nights – Grease

Always On My Mind – Elvis

Come Away With Me – Norah Jones

You Can Karaoke does exactly what it says on the box. Easy to use, great for parties, family fun, kids sleep-overs, birthdays and Christmas.

It targets all ages and should prove bigger than the dance mat craze. In fact it also works along-side the new Konami Megamix Dance title.

Tracks can be displayed with or without video, with male or female backing and as duets where appropriate.

The Wild Things system is compatible with all other karaoke DVD’s. The system is also compatible with other TV systems eg NTSC and the Wild Things DVD’s are compatible with all other Karaoke players.

Howard Jacobson, Wild Things Managing Director said, "Wild Things strive to be in the forefront of innovation and this system is not only fresh and exciting - it sits at the very top in terms of sheer quality and entertainment. There is no package in the world that can compete with it. The DVDs are incredible and we are delighted with the result of many months of hard development work. Karaoke DVD is the next massive interactive home entertainment product and we have many plans to keep Wild Things ahead of the game. We have included a pro mic and have still achieved a very low retail price making it affordable for everyone!”

The recommended retail price for the pack is just £29.99

Standalone karaoke DVDs retail at £14.99.
