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

The Vegas Job is a concert film of the Who's performance on October 29, 1999, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the infamous Pixelon launch event. Pixelon claimed that the performance was streamed live over the Internet to over 1 million viewers and to the video screen on One Times Square; it was reported that thousands of viewers were unable to watch the live stream due to technology failures. The DVD was certified Gold in Canada after selling 5,000 units. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
