Nothing ominous. They call the number on the vending machine to buy whatever is inside. You can do it some places in Europe and I think there are a couple machines in LA that you can do that with. But in Japan you can buy anything from vending machines. You can buy shirts, toys, Yu Gi Oh cards, or even food. |

| How do you know the number? Can you look it up? And is it really that hard to put the money in the slot? |

| The number is on the machine, and a lot of people these days don't carry cash anymore. |

Phones now have that feature.
ITs called a "wallet manager" or something.
My old phone had it, and it was about £20.

Hardly. If anythnig, its far more conveniant. Why waste money and energy buying and carrying a wallet and phone, when you can just buy and carry a phone?
Plus, a phone has better security then a wallet. Even if it gets stolen, it has passwords and such to prevent thievery.
Makes sense to me... |

yeah makes sense but then you'd have to pay to call the vending machine you should be able to connect with some sort of cord into it that way u wouldnt have to pay for the call. now THAT would be cool.
i just think calling it would be an almost waste of time(but if you like it, you like it). and btw 50 US aint bad |

| The micro is pointless unless you haven't got a gba and want a convenient sized console otherwise no point as it will have all the same games or so i have heard. |

| In Japan you can get suits out of vending machines (in Tokyo at least). They are ahead of the game with technology there. |
