Seems Best Buy took a cue from Japan’s vending machine addiction. In the Dallas/Fort Worth airport, someone spotted this new Best Buy Express vending machine. They are located at Terminal B’s Gate 29 and Terminal E’s Gate 32.
What’s inside? Since this is Best Buy’s vending machine, it obviously has electronics. You can purchase IPods and accessories, Nintendo DS’s, MP3 players, and wireless headsets among other electronics.
Best Buy doesn’t expect you to put quarters in this vending machine. They do provide a convenient credit card machine so that you can spend hundreds of dollars in the blink of an eye. I’m not sure how logical the MP3 players are in this machine. Unless you either have a laptop to put songs on the MP3, or are using the player as a gift at your destination, is it really worth buying? Still cool though.

Interesting! But what if something doesn’t work and they have to take it back? He/she would have a hard time explaining to the sales associate how they got the item from a vending machine. XD
They should also have something like an itunes kiosk to buy songs from
I bought an ipod and a headset and the machine is fantastic! Operating the machine was very simple. I didnt have a problem till date as the items that were purchased came with all details as to who can be contacted in case of any failure . All you have to do is give the exact information as to where the item was purchased, which airport, gate number and terminal etc.
May be when you are taking a flight and come across this fantastic “vending machine” purchase something and make life easier!!!!
This is one of the more sensible machines. Put these at the exits of every Tube station in London and you’d make a killing. This one, from Tokyo, sells two sizes of brolly, although only the small folding one seems to be suited to automatic vending.
