Its a worry!!If it was £120 it would be a real worry.:eek: :eek:
No lights???Could cause disagreements between the guests on track selection???
Might impinge on the market for Discos at home in somewhere like Berkshires stockbroker belt:eek: :eek:

Been around for years. Not had a noticeable impact as yet. I certainly don't know anyone who's stated outright that they'd considered hiring a jukebox

Wow, what a deal!! Only a few pounds more than hiring an old bloke with big van and loads of flashing lights to do exactly the same thing, introduce all events, and generally do it all for you, instead of letting the guests have a punch up over playing Enter Sandman straight after Crazy Frog. Phone a friend? :confused: :D :D :D :D :D

Nor will it in the future at that price IMO.
The number of songs and speaker power are similar to mine (except the juke box is loaded with the current top 20 whereas I always have the top 40).
However, by the time you've also paid to hire some lights, it would probably be the same price as my standard disco...which comes with a DJ with 30 years experience who reads the dance floor, plays the right song at the right time & makes announcements...at no extra charge!
:D

Plus I can see it getting abused by the drunks, I wonder if it allows you to cut someones song off half way through the track, this again could be an issue!!!!
Cant see it being a threat personally.

The company seem to be promoting as a wedding disco solution (Weddiing Disco Hire In Your Area)! That's got to be the funniest thing I've heard in years!
Mind you, I don't think it would pinch all the sausage rolls so maybe there's something going for it! ;)

Yeah.... that for the entertainment, and you could have a vending machine next to it for the buffet.... job done :D

And if you have your function in a venue on a crossroads, you can leave the curtains open and use the traffic lights as your lighting effects! Or the flashing yellows orbs on a zebra crossing would be fab, too! :D

....or just get the best man to stand by the light switch all night and turn them off and on rapidly. :)

Oh, I don't get on with strobe lighting. Too many health and safety issues involved! :D

Speakers probably

Yep:
With two massive external 250W speakers, your FunkyDiva digital jukebox guarantees the perfect sound.

I think it would be ok in a house party, and that's about it, even then i wouldn't trust drunks plonking their beer bottles and pints on top of it.
Why the hell they're trying to target the wedding market though is anyones guess

Some people will still prefer 'live' disco with dynamic disco lighting and plus, I think most people/clients would want a propper DJ as to get their guests in the right party mood and up for a serious boogie on the dancefloor :)
I wouldn't be too dis-heartened folks, this jukebox buiness might not take off for them, it might do but I think people will want a 'live disco' instead of a boring jukebox machine that doesn't look all that when compaired to a propper disco rig that looks amazingly dynamic ;)

I believe they'll be hoping it will seem more attractive than an Ipod wedding. You'll be in control, but using professional equipment, that your average punter can understand. However, I can see Grandma sending Little Johnny up to select some nice Glenn Miller, and for humorous effect, Johnny choosing a bit of Thrash Metal. ;) :D :D
