Do you buy DVDs, Blu-Ray discs or download movies? Whatever your preferred format, you can now buy direct from the studio through a network of hi-tech vending machines to be sited at shopping malls, airports, retail shops and rail stations around the country. If you haven't seen one of these yet, it's only a matter of time: Photo: DVD Vending Machine at Homebase, Falkirk Boasting a 32" touch screen, you can watch trailers, read the covers and purchase on the spot.
