I’m not much of a jet-setter, so I haven’t seen the Best Buy Express kiosks in person. They’re vending machines stocked with Nintendo DS games and even consoles. Marketed toward the stranded traveler, impulse buyer, or just someone who wants to pick up a fresh game on the way to their destination, the Best Buy Express kiosks are in several U.S. airports.

Best Buy partnered with a vending machine company called ZoomSystems to make the automated kiosks and set them up in September 2008, a press release stated. Besides DS stuff, the kiosks have mobile phones PSP consoles and games, PC accessories, digital cameras, flash drives, memory cards and more.
Several people who have posted online say that the prices are actually similar to what you’d find in Best Buy stores. Also, the items vend gently so you don’t bash your new DS before it’s even in your hands.
Airports with Best Buy Express include those in: Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and San Francisco.
