    The big red pawn machine is actually a simulate car for car stereo. So you can test and hear what the speakers/sound system can sound like in your car. They use to have them in Best Buy.

The reason I ask is because when I paused the video at 2:54 I couldn't read the price for dokapon kingdom but it looked like the ncaa football 14 was only $34.99 which if that was the price is pretty good considering it can go for somewhere between $60 and $110 on eBay! So if it was $134.99 I understand why you didn't buy it! Also why I am curious about dokapon kingdom is because I have seen sold listings for copies of dokapon kingdom for the wii disk only go for $100 or more on eBay!
