items to our assortment such as no-contract mobile phones, tablet computers,
electronic reading devices and more,” said Troy Peterson, the company’s VP and
divisional merchandising manager for electronics and entertainment. “Our
customers are sure to enjoy the newly redesigned department, which allows them
to get hands-on experience with many of our new products, as well as demos of
some of the hottest video games available.”

New additions include:

  • A broader selection of portable media players,
    including touchscreen devices from Sony, Samsung, Sandisk, Riptunes, Archos and
    Sakar, in addition to the latest Apple iPod iterations;

  • The new generation of Kindle e-readers;

  • New tablet models including the Sony S, Samsung
    Galaxy, as well as entries from Acer, Archos and Asus;

  • An expanded selection of headphones, including
    SKUs from Skullcandy and an exclusive line of Safe Sounds in-ear and over-ear
    headphones from Maxell, and;

  • A wider variety of iPod and iPad accessories, including
    colored and licensed cases and a larger selection of iHome docks.

The chain will also continue to offer a full assortment of
video games and hardware, karaoke machines, movies, musical instruments, and character-licensed
TVs and other CE products.

Toys ‘R’ Us is also offering a layaway payment option this
holiday season for select CE categories.
