Now what can I do with 120x of these...?

That's pretty cool, I have a similar device meant for advertising animal heartworm medication which was sent unsolicited to a vet clinic. I replaced the videos on it and played around with it. Looking inside it's essentially the guts for a digital photo frame.
If you search on ebay for Video Brochure there are people trying to get ~$50 each for this sort of thing. I wouldn't pay that much, but they're handy little video players.

Ok I'll say it again:
Uploading your own media files to the device was the first thing I did by simply connecting the device with the included usb cable to my laptop, it showed up as a removable storage device and had a folder called video, simple moving a media file to that folder was all that was required.
I guess I could try and resell them but tbh thats way too much effort and I got better way to spend my time :P I'll try to post a few devices to the people here that asked for them.
Also the screen is super low resolution so I doubt it would make for a decent raspberry pi screen.
schmitt trigger:
Still, for the sake of environment, I sincerely hope that you will recycle or reuse them.
I know that you will ;)
Or give them away for free. Just request that they refund you any postage and handling.
james_s:
I bet if you posted them on ebay for $10 + postage they would sell like hotcakes, if it didn't cost so much to ship overseas I'd buy a few to play with. You could use them as-is as digital photo frames or video players.

Or you could put them back in their boxes and ship them to the company who sent them all out, suggesting that they dispose of them responsibly, and in future maybe examine their *need* for such wasteful advertising?
