Sony Vending Machines

This seems like a pretty good idea. The "PoP" entertainment vending machine is a collaboration between Sony and Universal Pictures, to allow buyers to buy things like dvd's, bluray disks, Ps3 games, and downloads. You can also download music and movies directly to your mp3, mp4 or sd cards. Just give the machine your money/credit card and it will give you a fresh, sealed copy of what you ordered. There will be at least 150 movie titles available when released.
This announcement was of British origin. I don't know how or if these machines will be released over here in the states. But I'm pretty sure it's common in areas like Japan. This is a good way to avoid annoying cashiers, though. It also seems quicker, just go to the machine and come back with your game. Pretty instant. Has a simple touch screen interface too. Video Here.
