Video vending
Posted on 17. Nov, 2005 by Cassandra in Uncategorized
This is one of those ‘only in Japan’ kind of trends, but still worth a mention.
Nintendo and some company called AM3 are now distributing video content for the GBA Movie Player
this winter in Japan. Taking the form of an old-school “Gashapon” (toy
capsule) machine, this device allows you to insert your GBA movie
player flash memory card, crank a handle and instantly download anime
episodes to watch on your GBA. Episodes are around 25 minutes each and
priced at 300-yen to download, with popular shows being offered, such
as Pokemon and Detective Conan. [via]
Count yourselves lucky that you live in a country where the population are still sceptical about cigarette vending in clubs. Very soon in Japan there’s going to be no need for human interaction anywhere.
