Japan loves its vending machines, that is definitely one thing I learned from my week in Tokyo. It also loves putting jelly in cans and tricking you into thinking it’s a drink, but that’s another story. The point is, Sony is soon to besharing that vending lovewith the United Kingdom, allowing you to buy PlayStation 3 games in the least personal way possible.
These touch screen machines will sell DVDs, Blu-ray movies, PS3 games and direct downloads to memory cards. Dubbed PoP Entertainment Vending Machines, the new toyboxes represent a deal between Sony and Universal Pictures.
When the machines launch, they will be packing 150 movies including recent titles likeHellboy IIandMama Mia— truly the double bill of champions. Downloadable music and movies for SD cards will also be available.
While similar machines are available in the US, this is quite new and sparkly for we Brits, who usually have to make do with buying our goods from some scabby bitch in Woolworths. Anything that lets me buy entertainment without having to deal with arseholes is fine by me.
