Hoo boy...

All I see around here is sweets and pop in vending machines

But seriously, thats a great idea. Maybe Nintendo should start putting their own kiosks in UK shopping centres. At least people would be able to buy them in the high street then.

And here's me thinking it would look like this!

Considering how readily people kick in vending machines to get a packet of crisps how exactly do they intend to stop people doing it for a free PSP?

Who will be first to post "That won't happen due to the lack of decent game releases"

I'm sure these things would be pretty secure and not stuck in unmanned railway stations. It's a fairly smart idea, easy impulse purchasing.

ChoicesUK have experimented with DVD rental vending machines, but I don't think it ever went past the testing stage.
