Sony reveal PoP vending machine

November 03, 2008 in News comments 10

Sony are now in the vending machine business -- having partnered with Universal Pictures for the "PoP" vending machine, which is said to take care of all your entertainment needs; it will U.K. only.

Wonder how many people will be shaking this thing, trying to get a free PS3 game..

The PoP “entertainment vending machine” is a brand new venture between Universal Pictures and Sony entertainment to allow punters to grab their favourite DVDs, Blu-ray discs, PS3 games and downloads 24/7.

So you’ll be able to sate any midnight movie cravings or post-pub PS3 needs, and the touchscreen vendo will also let you browse trailers before you buy.

What’s more, you’ll also be able to instantly feed your multimedia whims by downloading music and movies direct to most MP3 or MP4 players or SD cards.

We’re promised 150 movie titles at launch, including recent smashes such as Hell Boy II and, er, Mamma Mia.

PoPs will be popping up throughout the land in cinemas, gyms, universities and travel stations – watch out for our exclusive hands-on vid very soon…

    I might...

    but it is kind of hard to get stuff out of modern vending machines because now theres like a a claw that grabs them and puts them into a corner sort of like a crane game.

    I think they are just bored. Who would ever think to go to a vending machine for a VG.

    POP? The Playstation Portable rip-off called the POP-Station? They should have named this something else. In any case, I love the idea!

    I thought it was a Prince of Persia vending machine for a moment. These remind me of the Blockbuster vending machines that used to be about.
