Good idea, shame about the selection. MKDS is the only worthwhile game amongst that lot. Needs more class.

You're hating....

Brain Age is amazing.

The DS as a whole is amazing.

are you serious? They have Guitar Hero On Tour in there! Even for when I'm on a plane and I can't yell!

There's a "Bomberman in an airport" joke here, but damned if I can find it.

I was chatting to the security lady, I said when I got through I'd Bomberman with my friends. I now live off the grass I can reach with my teeth through the chicken wire.

1.) insert 150$ into machine
2.) Select Nintendo DS
3.) Machine gets jammed "DAMMIT"
4.) "Flight 214 is now boarding"

How full are the batteries that come with a DS? I bet the slot for the replacements is either empty or priced like the games.

Then it probably has a built-in battery pack or something I suppose and how full is that? How'd you charge it on an airplane? I'm just wondering how this makes sense.

Like a lot of rechargeables, it comes with a ~30% charge. You'd probably want to find an outlet, the same as all the people with their laptops and phones do.

Well it's been a while since I flew last (pre 2000) and back then no plane had power sockets for passengers in economy class. At least none that I knew of.

There aren't outlets in the plane, but there are outlets open for use all over the airport. You can charge it while waiting for your flight.

I love vending machines. They should replace everything with vending machines... then I'll never have to come into contact with another human being ever again! That's the life.

From my knowledge, GameSpot doesnt have clerks or even a store to shop at!

You tried to make a funny and failed. Good try though. Next time double check.

To Morisato and co:

Purchase all your needs from:
www.amazon.co.uk

What about food you say? Get it delivered from:
www.tesco.com
www.asda.co.uk

And how can I receive the purchases from Amazon and food without having to have contact with another human being? Surely you'd have to sign for the delivery. Simple. Hire someone to do it for you who will then discretely leave it outside your house where you can collect them later.
www.hireahelper.com

But to hire these people and buy these products needs money! How can I get a job at home? Simple. WoW offers many opportunities for gold farmers. Don't fancy that? Simple. There are many companies offering to let you work from home.

"They should replace GameSpot clerks with vending machines, would make me actually consider going back into one"

Ditto.

Gamestop can still scam people suing vending machines and I don’t have to look at the clerks horrible faces. Everybody wins.

until the Japanese start selling live, genetically modified cute things in their vending machines. The day someone creates a live Hello Kitty is the day it'll happen.

Actually, they do have such vending machines in Japan. They have one at my local shopping mall that dispenses PSPs, and different sorts of games. Then there's another vending machine (close to a convenience store and gas station) that dispenses fruits, eggs, and other perishables. It's weird.

machines like that generally take credit cards, so I wouldn't be surprised if they also read rewards cards.

I'm surprised at the wording "now offering" since I saw a whole bunch of these when I in Minneapolis at the end of September last year...

I guess the guys at Ars Technica don't go to airports very often...

Why? Its not like people will try and steal from these. They're in an airport, no less American airports. You'll get cavity searched for bringing a bottle of water on board, I'm sure someone's keeping an eye on the vending machines.
(I am aware that there are new flexible rules about bringing liquids on planes but I don't know them yet.)

It has to be under a certain amount of volume for liquids. A normal cologne bottle is too big for instance. It allows mini shampoos and sh*t like that. Otherwise you gotta check it in your bag slut.
