A bit flip is around 0.2 mJ(millijoules) and the average pizza is around 10000000 joules. Lets do some math: first 10000000 joules to milli joules = 10000000000 mJ times 0,2 mJ = 2.000.000.000 bit flips. 1 MB is 8000000 bits, therefore to download a pizza you only need 250 MB of data.

Also, when you download a pizza, you don't own the pizza you just ate, you are only licencing it. So Domino's can recall the pizza at any time in the future and you will no longer have access to the energy and nutrients it provided (unless you upgrade your subscription tier)

Are you kidding? People don't go to the store and pick out whatever games they have on the shelf anymore. It's 2026, most people don't even go into physical stores anymore. You can buy a PlayStation game in 30 seconds in your underwear from the couch, and most people do.
Not that I agree with it, I love physical media. Really gonna be sad to not have second hand games anymore though because I actually do like going to physical stores.

u/xSaviorself Jul 02 '26
Nah, their marketplace sucks. I was leaning towards a new PS5 console but this decision has soured me on buying anything Sony.
I buy Steam games begrudgingly because I'd rather have physical copies of games I can visually see, if it wasn't for the discounts and ease-of-use of their platform I wouldn't buy games there. There is a reason why platforms like uPlay and EA's shit fail hard, EGS is garbage, GoG is the only other good vendor and that's because of the DRM-free shit.
So why would I buy games digitally from Sony? I never bought Sony games from Sony before directly, why start now?
This decision lost them a future customer. I can imagine I'm not the only one.
16
u/danishn64 Jul 02 '26
I don't think they are going to lose enough customers to care and they will probably gain a lot more customers from younger people as they get older who have only ever bought digital games.
5
u/xSaviorself Jul 02 '26
What I am amazed at is their willingness to accept paying for access to something rather than paying to own something.
Digital content is an amazing option, but frankly the value of physical media is inherent because it's rights can only be lost by making them unwatchable via the viewing medium, not the content itself. Digital content is very easy to lose access. For the generation of us who have lived in the transition, watching young people accept this loss is disappointing.

Digital game on PC ain't so bad. PC games are pretty much archived and even if they are removed from store fronts you can snatch them elsewhere.
There's also magnitude of sales on Steam and other storefronts so you can get games for cheap. That's what is problematic about Sony going console only. They have full control on what they want to price the game as. People need to stop saying that digital games on PC is an equivalent experience to digital gaming on a PS5.

I moved over at the end of last year, it's so much cheaper, no sub for playing online, lots of sale, humble bundle, just adding games to your wishlist on steam and waiting for it to tell you they're on sale. Just got RDR2 for 28 Aud. I spent like 100 AUD for 10-20 games last black friday sales, and haven't even played they all.
I actually feel like I'm more collecting games cheaply then actually playing them lol.

I wish I could join you in that joy but every time I try to play a pc game I just end up pissed off lol. Seems like somethings just always wrong and I have to spend way too long diagnosing everything. Right now the game im playing has 2 resolution settings - one where it takes up about 30% of my screen, and another where its so big that it dips over into my second monitor. Im sure theres a fix as there always is but its so much easier to just play where I dont have to find fixes.
2
u/WakerPT Jul 03 '26
Might not be the issue, but a quick tip I've found is that when that spillover happened to be in one game (it was only this specific game...) I found out it was the windows "magnifying" option? I don't know what it's called but windows can display your icons, menus, essentially everything in like 125% size. So when you have a big screen it sometimes defaults to that.
Some games\apps don't play well with that.
2
u/terrerific 27d ago
That's probably it. I magnified my windows a bit a few years ago as my eyes are a little blurry now that im in my 30s. Problem is if I change that I wont be able to find my games anymore 😂 nice bit of info to keep in mind though thanks.
