Yoostar reveals retail partners

Yoostar today announced that the Yoostar system will be available for purchase on August 24 at Bloomingdale’s stores nationwide, and at all Best Buy outlets starting September 8. Bloomingdale’s will be the only luxury department store to carry the product. The Yoostar system ($169.95 suggested retail price) was introduced at the opening keynote address of the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show.

The Yoostar entertainment system allows users to film themselves and insert it right into famous movie scenes, where you can perform with, or replace, the original actors. Users can follow the script or deliver their own interpretation of the movie, then upload their performances to www.yoostar.com and share them on their favorite social networking sites.

The Yoostar system includes a studio-grade web cam with built-in dual microphones and remote control, portable green screen, professional stand and Yoostar software that is compatible with both PC and Mac computers.
