I was in Vons supermarket today when I saw a Ipod vending machine. It was really cool. It sold shuffles and 30g video, along with a decent assortment of accessories. And it sold that personal play station. I was so curious about this machine I did a search and I found this - It's the same machine I saw. Very cool.

That's crazy. I'm hoping it takes credit cards... Imagine putting 250 $1 bills in there...and someone walks by and presses the Coin Return button...that'd be a lot of quarters.

Back in high school there was a certain vending machine that would regularly dispense two peanut butter M&Ms packs for the price of one. It was eventually fixed, of course, but it was neat while it lasted. Anyone think there's a chance an iPod vending machine could have the same defect?

You can buy iPod at the 7-11s here in Japan. As well as accessories, iTunes music store cards, and pocky!

Yeah, I've seen that very vending machine several times. It's at the Atlanta Airport, and it's been there for years now.

Well, being honest I was told the pict came from the Atlanta airport, that is all I know, so you could be right, certainly.

white 30gb video
