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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Face the Ace was a poker-themed game show on NBC, first airing August 1, 2009. The show was hosted by Steve Schirripa (The Sopranos) along with hostess/spokesmodel Megan Abrigo (Deal or No Deal) and featured the commentary of Ali Nejad, who also served in the same capacity for NBC's Poker After Dark. The show's primary sponsor was Full Tilt Poker, which supplied the contestants and the professional poker players ("aces") against whom they competed. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
