The Mavrinac website provides full instructions as to how you too can turn your broken SNES into an oversized digital clock. Sure, there might not be any actual reason to do this, but it does provide a great place to showcase one’s skills, and an extremely geeky objet d’art for the game room.

Novelty clocks may look amusing, they might even look fun, but it is a virtual certainty that the novelty factor will have worn off within a week or two and you will be left asking yourself why it was that you purchased such junk. I have no reason to believe that things would be any different if you bought the Gun o’clock. It is an alarm clock, to stop it you shoot a laser at it. It is going to get stale really fast.

Price: Available from November 15 for about $40 [Bandai via Crave]

Sony’s ICF-CD3iP is a reasonably original looking clock radio; in that it is round rather than box-shaped. Other than that it is very standard fare. It has a dock for your iPod or iPhone and it has an integrated AM/FM radio and a remote control, so you don’t have to get out of bed to turn it off in the morning. The surprise inclusion here, considering the price, is that it also packs in a CD player - which I find very nice.

If you like me find the blare of an alarm clock a horrible way to start the day, then you have probably considered alternatives. Philips has just produced the most interesting alternative that I have seen to date. It is called the Wake Up Light and it rouses you from your slumber with a light that simulates sunrise by gradually increasing in intensity; you set it to begin thirty minutes before you want to get up so that it doesn’t jolt you awake at the last minute. The Wake Up Light can also simulate nature sounds like singing birds and babbling brooks for extra effect.

I do recall a concept a while back that was a pillow that did the same sort of thing, but this sounds a whole lot better and it is an actual product that you can buy or at least will be able to buy very soon. If it can take the pain out of waking up, I am all for it. [Philips via Crunch Gear]

If you are a comic geek that loves your Batman then this about the coolest clock radio you will ever see. Not only does it play music and wake you up, but it projects a Bat Signal onto your wall. What more could you ask for in a clock radio other than the ability to play MP3s.

Price: $19.99 [Digital Blue via Geek Alerts]
