DrunknMunky Veteran Posted December 16, 2009 Veteran Share Posted December 16, 2009 by Alexander Sliwinski POP247 kiosks are popping up at 150 locations around the UK, particularly in locations of heavy human traffic. The dispensaries, which apparently exist in the US too, can hold up to 400 units of games, DVDs and Blu-ray movies. The boxes are a collaboration between Sony Pictures and Universal Studios. The kiosks will soon provide downloadable games and movies, as well, transferable to Sony memory sticks. This is a feature that should prove convenient for travelers on the go -- especially the PSP Go. http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/16/game-ven...s-pop-up-in-uk/ We had a topic on these a few years ago, glad to see they are finally coming to the UK :) I'll use them as long as the prices are competitive (ha, like that'll happen).

StealMySoda Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Seen one of these in Broadmarsh centre in Nottingham, it's been there for a while. Unless that wasn't called 'pop', either way it was a very similar device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted December 17, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted December 17, 2009 So I tried one out tonight at the cinema, but unfortunately there wasn't any games :( There was only blu rays and dvds. I only had a quick look so I don't have specific movies to name, however dvd's were ?9.99 each and blu rays were ?15. They had offers where you could buy 2 dvds for ?9 also and I think the same deal on blu-rays. Select titles only however. The touch screen is a little slow to respond too. I pressed it and thought it wasn't working, about to walk away when it finally switched screen. Tbh as soon as I seen there wasn't any games I wasn't all that interested :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manish Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 In your quick look DrunknMunky, did you notice if the blu rays costing ?15 were new releases/titles? Just wondering if it has decent pricing basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted December 17, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted December 17, 2009 Sadly not, I've had a long tiring day and had just finished watching Avatar. My mind is zapped right now lol :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manish Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Thanks anyway. The "closest" one to me is pretty far. Hopefully they get some placed in the more local cinemas because it seems like a cool idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted December 17, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted December 17, 2009 I'll probably go to the cinema again in the next week, so if someone else has posted details before then, I'll have a proper look when I'm next there.
