The vending machines dubbed Sony Access, which stock around 50 SKUs are already being trialled at three shopping centres: Atlanta's Mall of Georgia; Flatirons Mall in Boulder, Colorado; and the Santa Rosa Mall in Santa Rosa, California.

If your already at the freaking mall, go to the videogame store. They need these places where you cant buy them. Stupid idea, what if it got stuck, myou know like a bag of chips! I dont want my PSP falling 4 feet to the bottom of the vending machine, breaking, and trying to return it would be a nightmare. And if you hit the wrong buttons, you know E5 instead of D6, your screwed.

All very good points.

would someone who is already at a mall rather go to a vending machine, or to a electronics store? I would rather pay a person $100 then a machine.

Imagine after I putting in my 800 quarters the psp gets stuck half way down. Coke and Pepsi are going to get pissed.
