Teen Forums, College Forums, Teen Advice Forums, Teen Discussion Boards - Teens and college students share their problems and issues and receive advice and find resources on our teen forums. Peer Answers. Peer Support & Confidential advice if members of teen forums want it. Teen Forums contains Teen Quizzes and Teen Discussion Boards plus a Teen Flash Games Arcade.

Our members chat and talk about lots of different subjects on Teen Forums. Our discussion boards here on teen forums are accompanied by many other features such as a Flash Games Arcade, Teen Quizzes on things such as Family Guy, The Simpsons and Games, A Teen Encyclopedia, Teen Horoscopes, a Graffiti wall that Teen Forum members can tag and extensive Teen Profiles with Guestbooks and Teen Private Messages. We focus on teen forums, and you are welcome to chat in our teen forums. Teen chat and teen chats are popular today. You can view horoscopes for your astrological signs and soon we also have teen blogs. But again, we're not a teen chat, we're a teen forum although a teen chatroom may appear in the future! Don't you think Teen Forums is a good abbreviation for Teenage Forums here at TeenageForums.com? Teen Forums is also a great teen hangout where you'll find a balance of friendly girls and boys who communicate well using the teen forums / bulletin board / discussion forum interface to talk to one another on our teen forum. When you are a member you may also like to try our Teen Forums Instant Messaging System so you can talk to other Teens on Teen forums in a quick, easy and fun way.

You're hungry, you see a vending machine, and you reach in your pocket for that last crumpled dollar. After much fussing, the machine takes it. C7 -- some delicious Fritos sound appetizing. The bag jostles, begins to move forward, and then... gets stuck against the glass. Annoying? Now imagine instead of chips, it was a $60 game.
As Stuff.tv reports (via VideoGamer), Universal Pictures and Sony have signed a deal to manufacture and distribute "PoP Instant Entertainment 24/7" vending machines across the U.K., where patrons will be able to purchase DVDs, Blu-rays, various media downloads, and yes, also PS3 games. That's a whole lot of quarters you're going to need to feed.
The plan is to have 150 movies available when these machines are rolled out, including recent movies like Hellboy II and Mama Mia -- you'll even be able to view trailers on the machine's screen before purchasing some of them. What (and how many) games will be available wasn't specified, but people will also be able to purchase and download movies and music directly to MP3 and MP4 players, or to an SD card. What kind of security these things will have wasn't detailed, but we imagine no less than a cage built around them with a tiger inside will be needed to stave off would be thieves. (Obviously, a complicated rig of levers and pulleys will be used to safely insert money and retrieve your items from a distance.)

I've seen these things before and really don't see a need or point to them, does anyone else?

I don't think many people mind queuing in a shop for a couple of minutes to buy a game or a movie, and I'd rather hand over £30 to a guy at a till than putting notes in a machine.

Also, where exactly are they going to put them, that isn't 2 minutes away from a shop where you could buy the same thing.
They'll also have a set price where shops will have offers and cheaper prices probably.
