Abstract: A publicly accessible memory interface is provided in a kiosk system. The kiosk system may include various types of information, such as game related content, that may be made available to a user of the kiosk system. The publicly accessible memory interface typically allows the user to download the information onto a portable memory interface that may be compatible with the memory interface. The user may then take the portable memory device home and upload the information to a home system.

Abstract: A retail game kiosk system is provided game applications via a game media (DVD) comprising several different game configurations. Each game configuration is compatible with an intended recipient of the kiosk system. A game configuration is selected via a selector switch in the kiosk. When a game configuration is selected, the DVD is searched for the selected game configuration. If found, the selected game configuration is installed. If not found, a default game configuration is installed. Game configurations include game applications, languages, advertisements, and logos tailored to the intended recipient of the retail game kiosk. A single DVD can provide all the game configurations needed for all intended recipients of the retail game kiosks. Thus multiple DVD configurations need not be made.
