Aside from my rantings against the way airports continue to turn into shopping malls, don't forget that these vending machines include the all-important, captive audience 50 % markup that comes with all airport shopping. They're basically betting that you'll be so bored/desperate for something to do that you'll actually pay the prices they're asking. It's the next logical step from those goofy quarter-fed televisions they used to have. Yeah, I noticed the Sony/PSP vending machines in JFK over Thanksgiving.
