A new report shows that buying PlayStation games on disc is usually much cheaper than buying them digitally from the PlayStation Store.
The price comparison looked at several PlayStation games and found that physical copies are often the cheaper option.
In some cases, disc versions were up to 90% cheaper than the digital version, especially after a game had been out for a while.
This is why they are pushing for all-digital: they want to get the maximum profit from this while controlling the market prices.
@plungecomics@ReinTenebrae@Pirat_Nation I see in your history that people point out spite homes, and you attempt to steamroll with insults. You will have to take a more strategic approach to be convincing. I agree with your arguments in principle but you need to do better.
For 1 'spite homes' there are a 1000 homes that are wiped out. So, I don't you argument has any merit cuase the numbers speak for themselves.
Not, to mention these are ancestral homes that used to stand for centuries.
Communism destroys all that stands in it's way.
I am surprised you don't even mention the cities, towns and villages only this past week wiped our from existence due to CCP negligence.
Chinese courts have ruled that gaming accounts, in-game items, and digital purchases can be passed on to family after death, setting a major legal precedent for digital ownership.
The decisions come from several court cases over the years, with judges ruling that these digital assets have real value and should be treated like other property. In one recent case, a mother was allowed to inherit her late son’s 87 gaming accounts.
The courts also ruled that platform terms of service cannot automatically block inheritance if the law permits it. However, personal data such as private messages and chat history remain protected and are not included.
@plungecomics@ReinTenebrae@Pirat_Nation And as for the Communism. I agree with you there, but you will have detractors that point out they haven’t been fully communist in a long time, point to their hybrid model, and then cite imminent domain in the usa. Im just giving you points so that you can strengthen ur argument
@plungecomics@ReinTenebrae@Pirat_Nation I don’t think you understand. The claims that for 1 spite home there are thousands that are wiped out has merit. Im not arguing against that. What I am saying is that to be convincing, you will have to explain how spite homes are possible in the environment you point to.
@ReinTenebrae@Pirat_Nation I suspect you are not aware of the plight of the NON-CCP average Mainlander: Here's a list of just some that were discussed:

@JRocket465@GMEdiamondhand@ryancohen He said long ago that he will not telegraph his moves to his enemies or competitors. He will not lay out the strategy until it’s executed.
@RulerZod@ThePPseedsShow Seems pretty common for people to clean their socials and such before taking office. Or to disinvest in anything that could be considered partial or conflict of interest, or even perceived as such.
When Pulte no longer holds office and reconnects I wouldn’t be surprised.
@WhaleInsider China making way fewer babies. Means later, not enough young workers to take care of all the old people and grow the country Big problem coming
@flowgate65@GamingCentral26 Not really cos if Sony had followed suit they’d have had to be at a competitive price which is why Sony said it was ‘unsustainable’ & they were right.
It’s called foresight & fighting individual companies ain’t guna do dick. We need the foresight to future proof digital content
@ChuckH14491265@ReesePolitics Hes already said he will NOT telegraph plans to the competition before he does them. The Ebay board is already hostile towards him, why should he reveal his strategies before he executes them?
@ReesePolitics So in other words they don't have any formal plan in place to actually acquire eBay, and they failed to deliver the proposal they promised last week, but share dilution is a sure thing.
JUST IN: GameStop Corp. shareholders APPROVE vote for increasing the number of authorized shares Class A Common Stock to 2,500,000,000 in major step forward for eBay acquisition 🚨🚨🚨🚨 $GME
@genostalker@luscielia@PlayStation They can disable these discs with the same licensing rights they use for any digital game, you dont have a chance at suing them lmao, this has been proven already with multiple games like Crimson Desert
@flowgate65@CultureCrave@moonlightdelia Fair enough and I completely agree that the gap exists and needs to be addressed. It’s a massive problem for gaming and media as a whole.
Sony’s tweet announcing it’s ending physical game disc production in 2028 now has several active Community Notes 🎮
It has also surpassed 150M views
(via @moonlightdelia)
@flowgate65@CultureCrave@moonlightdelia That’s exactly the point I’m making. It exposes the limits of first sale because that doctrine only covers the physical copy, not the digital infrastructure.
@GangGreenDuck@CultureCrave@moonlightdelia That’s exactly why digital needs an equivalent permanent ownership that can’t be remotely revoked. Not dodging I’m highlighting the gap.
@flowgate65@CultureCrave@moonlightdelia It’s relevant to the distribution of discs, not the servers powering them. That’s the entire point you keep dodging.
@GangGreenDuck@CultureCrave@moonlightdelia First sale secures ownership of the copy which Ubisoft rendered worthless by killing servers, exposing its limits for modern games. You can “possess” a useless disc. The case shows why physical needs better enforcement and digital needs its own first sale equivalent.
You are contradicting yourself in the same sentence. First sale gives you your right to possess and resell the disc and you can still do both of those things today. Ubisoft didn't undermine first sale because first sale has absolutely zero jurisdiction over servers. If a law doesn't govern servers a server shutdown cannot violate or undermine that law. The deception is entirely about marketing a live service product as a permanent purchase, which is strictly a consumer protection issue.
@GangGreenDuck@CultureCrave@moonlightdelia I brought up a copyright doctrine that is 100% relevant to discs.
You accused me of moving the goal posts, I reminded you where the goalposts started. No anger required.
It proves why we need stronger protections, including a digital equivalent. Physical still has the baseline.
So you brought up a completely irrelevant copyright doctrine just because you were mad about my tweet about Sony stats? The irony is that the crew lawsuit proves my point. The physical disc didn't give those buyers a single extra legal right against a server shutdown. You lost the legal argument so now you're backtracking.
@GangGreenDuck@CultureCrave@moonlightdelia The false promise was “buying” ownership of a playable game. First sale secures baseline physical copy ownership (possession/resale) which Ubisoft undermined via servers.
@flowgate65@CultureCrave@moonlightdelia You're repeating yourself and you're still missing the distinction. Ubisoft didn't falsely promise resale or possession rights…. Whatt was falsely promised was access to the game. First sale does not and has never established a baseline right to permanent server uptime.
