Here’s the Sony Gadget Vending Machine, Zoom Systems the manufacturer of both the iPod and Sony vending machines does not like to be called ‘vending machines’ rather they prefer the term ‘robotic store’. There’s not much of a difference between these two ‘robotic stores’ (Sony and iPod) except the product brands vary in each (expect for the PSP which are sold in both- YAY!).

It’s an interesting alternative to purchasing items at a regular store. My only issue that I can’t seem to wrap my head around, is coughing up 200 smackers for an item that is distributed like a $2 candy bar.
