The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

A Collection is a 2005 DVD by the English rock band New Order, featuring the majority of their music videos, as well as three alternate versions, two new videos for older songs, and a live performance. It is New Order's first DVD compilation, their previous video collections, (The Best Of) New Order and Substance, only having been released on VHS or Laserdisc. All regional variations of the DVD are nominally NTSC. All videos on the DVD are shown in completion, including copyright statements, timing codes and the name/phone number of the companies who did telecine conversions or production of the videos. These elements are rarely, if ever shown on TV or included on DVD releases by other bands. The DVD was released by Rhino Entertainment, New Order's North American distributors for Warner Music Vision, although all content is copyrighted to London Records, the band's label. It was also available as part of Item, a limited edition boxed set that collected A Collection and the re-released New Order Story DVD. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
