Just saw that Toys “R” Us is selling the blue SanDisk Sansa Shaker 512MB MP3 player for $12.50 this week (9/21/08-9/27/08) – 50% off their regular price. This is a great first MP3 player, and our favorite for older kids (read our review). Although the recommended age is 8+, younger kids could probably use it with supervision and a set of volume-limiting headphones (not earbuds).
Of special note: this bargain-priced MP3 player features a shake feature to select a random song—just like Apple’s new iPod Nano.
