Ever in the need to pick up a quick birthday present while on the go, or grab a quick game fix while waiting for your flight at the airport? Looks like your cries for help have just been answered! Sony has just announced the new 'robotic stores' that they are testing and planning to release around the US in strategic, high traffic locations.

At the moment, they are only testing these vending machines, so to speak, in Atlanta and Colorodo, but soon enough, we should start seeing these mini-malls popping up all over the US. Each station carries PSP units, games, accessories, and more; all of the items are lifted out and presented to you by a robotic arm, of course, after you have paid for the item by a credit or debit card. This is a pretty unique and futuristic idea Sony has up its sleeves, can't wait to see the 'robotic store' go gold in malls and airports all over!
is it me, or dos apple have something exactly like this.

ps:got this from psp3d.com

I saw a company was doing this in Airports and areas of very High Traffic.
I dont believe it was APPLE doing the selling... but a reseller that sets up the vending machines with lots of electronic items. All the Ipods were included, along with many other accessories.
