8@Gr00ver sounds like you’re a poor high school dropout that got married at 16 and can’t afford $400.Let this be a lesson to everyone else, stay in school or be like Gr00ver.

9Actually Brows - He can afford it but he actually uses his head when making a purchase. And, his head was telling him - $900 for a DVD player?Just because you got taken doesn’t mean the rest of us will. Now do like a good sheep and vote for Obama -the PS3 of Politics (promises you the world and delivers NOTHING.)

10So much fail in your comment. Who would pay nine hundred dollars for a PS3 when a new 80 GB at Gamestop is $399.99? Oh and it is a multimedia machine that supports not only the only format you mentioned (DVD) but also Blu-Ray, games, multiple audio formats and houses a fully functional internet browser and internal wi-fi. Also, I am curious how bringing politics into a discussion on video games means anything? And the last time I looked, the PS3 delivered AAA titles like GTA4, The Last Guy, Little Big Planet and MGS4. Just saying…

11Actually Owden - He can’t afford it because he actually uses his head to spew nonsense online unable to make a purchase. And, his head was telling him - PS3, No Halo!, WTF!!, HATE, HATE, HATE!!Just because you got taken doesn’t mean the rest of us will. Now do like a good sheep and vote for McCain -the Xbox360 of Politics (promises you the world and delivers NOTHING.)

12jjamminjon - classic. You have nothing original so you take from others. I guess that would be a “redistribution of comments” - Enjoy your Pie and Cake - Obama is a LIE!

13This is a vending machine I’d like to see a hack for.

14That would be sweet, until you get home, put the blu-ray into the PS3, and slowly come to the realization that you’ve been rick-rolled (IRL).

15Something tells me the dollar bill taped to string won’t work.
Zudora
November 4th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
16Maybe it’ll be easy like this: i-hacked.com/content/view/12/48/or you could always use clear packing tape exactly the width of the bill, and no string.
Bat

17Hopefully it’s as easy as the hacking is in Bioshock…

18ram it with a big truck, a oxytelene torch, or a lot of explosives, but you can destroy the games too

26Did you pre-order sir? No? Oh then you should have…we only have enough copies to cover our pre-orders. Would you like this awesome game guide with your copy?…And remember, if you have games you no longer play you can trade them in and get store credit!
Jennessa
November 4th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
27i dont get it i usually buy all my games at EB, sometimes i go on Amazon is its significantly cheaper but i like to get my games on release day, but i have never once been pushed to get a pre-order, nor have i ever not gotten a game when i pre-ordered something. Hell when i order the special edition of Halo 3 and that packaging sucked, they were really helpfull and went through like 5 copies and finally they just gave me one out of the original edition. I have also never once been asked to sign up for gameinformer. Anyways i would much rather go to them, cause most of the time they are gamers themselves and you can strike up a conversation with them.

40It would be amazing if there was no dollar slot, just quarters. “25 min later”- almost done putting the money in…

41Oops, I’m 1 quarter short. Oh well.. *pushes eject button*AHHH!!!! I’m being buried in quarters!!!

42Assuming you brought all the quarters yourself, how did you get them all there if you’re now buried in them?

43Well, you see, they were in this convenient Bag of Holding….

44Great, because it’s really hard to get a hold of these games otherwise.

53What if the game gets stuck?
Fifi
November 4th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
54Then consider getting it out a bonus game at no added charge.
Ulysses

55Just pound on the front and shake the machine.

57What if you push the wrong button and get stuck with something lame? I hate it when E10 should get me a Snickers but my dumb ass pushes “E” then “1″ not knowing that there is a separate “10″ button.

64This will go right next to the iPod vending machine at my local mall. And it would probably be less used than that piece of crap, too.
Winfred
November 4th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
65Now we can line up at vending machines for midnight releases and the store doesn’t have to stay open late. Maybe they could stock every slot with one game for big release nights.
Nuri
November 4th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
66Why would anyone want one of these? Just sell the games on ebay. You’ll undoubtedly sell three times as many.
Madan
November 4th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
67They have video stores here which are just vending machines in a shop, it makes the whole process of renting a movie very tedious and I for one have almost stopped renting because of it. Everything’s becoming more and more impersonal in this world

74PSP games have been sold in vending machines for quite some time, this only makes sense.Except the portability part. Everywhere I’ve seen a game vending machine has been in a mobile environment (airport, hotel, etc).In retrospect, this really doesn’t make sense. You can practically buy PS3 games everywhere in this day and age, where is the advantage of a vending machine’s convenience?

90People actually buy PS3 games? OMG!Oh wait did I just make the same stupid joke as all the other Sony haters on here? I wonder why I would do that when it obviously went over so well the first 49 times. 50 Times a charm thats what my old grandpa used to say.

Zaidin
November 4th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
98I’d be afraid to buy the PS3s from the top shelf. KA PLUNK!!!!!
Riona
November 4th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
99they should have printers and burners inside that can label up and make you a freshly baked game right there and then - upload it via the internet and you could have your machines stocked and ready the moment a game is releasedbefore the consumer buys his product = a machine full of blank discs and paper - at the cost of a printer and a cd, there’d be no reason to steal these machines!
Fina
November 4th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
100Uh, have you seen the speed of blu-ray burners? I don’t feel like waiting 30 minutes while it burns and prints.
