PS3 Vending Machines

Have you ever been robbed by a vending machine? I imagine so as so many of us have. You put in your change and expect to get a Mars Bar but nothing. It's eaten your money! Ahhhhhh! But imagine instead of a Mars Bar it was a Playstation 3 games worth a lot more money! PS3 vending machines are on the way!

Universal Pictures and Sony have signed a deal to manufacture and distribute "PoP Instant Entertainment 24/7" vending machines across the UK where patrons will be able to purchase DVDs, Blu-rays, various media downloads, and yes, also PS3 games. That's a whole lot of quarters you're going to need to feed.
The plan is to have 150 movies available when these machines are rolled out, including recent movies like Hellboy II and Mama Mia.

What's more is you will be able to view trailers on the vending machine screen before purchasing some of them.

What and how many PS3 games will be available wasn't specified, but people will also be able to purchase and download movies and music directly to MP3 and MP4 players, or to an SD card.

What kind of security these things will have wasn't detailed, but we imagine no less than a cage built around them with a tiger inside will be needed to stave off would be thieves. (Obviously, a complicated rig of levers and pulleys will be used to safely insert money and retrieve your items from a distance.)

The vending machines will appear in theatres, gyms, universities, and travel stations.

Look out Klix Vending Machines - there is a new kid on the block!
