from the first vending controller, wherein the first signal comprises a
request for a location of the digital video disc. The central controller
transmits a second signal to the first vending controller, wherein the
second signal comprises the location of the digital video disc. A second
vending controller at a second vending location receives a third signal

to deliver the digital video disc to a specific user upon receipt of a
specific user identification signal for the specific user.
