Giant iPod

MacDailyNews managed to snap a picture of the world’s largest iPod — strangely powered by an iPod Shuffle — located in Columbus, Ohio.

World’s Largest Etch-A-Sketch

A video clip of the “World’s Largest Etch-A-Sketch” has now surfaced. Just a quick refresher, SIGGRAPH 2006 members (3,000+) in attendance controlled this device using “two-sided paddles that signaled sensor cameras, letting one side of the audience control the right knob and the other side control the left knob.

World’s Largest HDTV

PinkTentacle has uncovered a video clip of an “athletic reporter sprinting from one end of the 2,651-inch monster to the other (in 12.8 seconds).”

Giant NES Controller

Incredibly enough, the world’s largest functional NES controller cost only $400 to build and made its debut on G4’s Attack of the Show.
