iPods in vending machines!

[bhd812]

I think this is great! Probably have a few at midway Airport by my house...
maybe thats where I should go to buy a new ipod?

Security Check point at midway:::

"Sir I need to see your plane ticket for you to get past this point."

"What? I am not boarding a plane today I just wanna buy a ipod and I dont feel like driving all the way to ford city mall to do it."

"sorry sir we cant let you past without a plane ticket."

"thats BullS___! What? see that guy over there I bet he dont have a plane ticket and he is past this point.."

"he works here sir.."

"So do I...I keep things under control...yeaa thats my job here and I was just testing you and you passed. good job bye bye now."

LOL

I wouldn't buy one from a vending machine. Do they give change? I'd be scared buying a 30Gb or 60Gb from a vending machine. I'd hate to fall to the bottom and have a dead hard drive.

Sometimes in normal drinks machines the bottle gets stuck and then someone else gets it a couple of hours later. I wonder if this would happen with iPods, would you take an iPod which someone else was meant to have?

Hey BHD812, Did you remember a few years back in Ford City's movie theater there was this vending machine that was selling CD's.

There are vending machines selling DVD's in theaters too.

This is a really good point:
What if you needed to return the iPod? The first thing you'd be asked is probably which machine you purchased it from, requiring you to get some info off of the machine, which just won't happen without a plane ticket.

I once purchased a pair of expensive Johnston Murphy Shoes in Newark Airport because they were on sale and there was no sales tax. They developed a defect and I was able to return them to another store.

I just don't think merchandise returns to a vending machine manufacturer will be easy and you'd pay a restock fee at the Apple Store. I know the folks at InMotion have thought this through with in airport video rentals, since video rentals can be had and returned at different airports. Buying CDs, movies and iPod accessories are a great idea, though in a machine.

You don't have to return iPods to where you got them from. I bought my first iPod from MicroAnvika in London and I just took it into the Apple Store for repair.
