Fun joke at Sony's expense but it's going to spectacularly backfire when Microsoft inevitably announces that the next Xbox won't support physical discs.
It reminds me of Google proudly boasting their headphone jack when Apple removed theirs, then OnePlus proudly boasting their headphone jack when Google removed theirs.
"No one buys phones with a headphone jack!"
Yeah, cause you all stop offering them within one upgrade cycle! I just checked my carrier, and the only phones they offer with jacks are the lowest end Motos and TCLs.
In response to trends in the gaming industry, as of 1st April 2027 Domino's UK will cease production of physical pizzas and shift to production of digital pizzas only.
Consumers will be able to download our full range of delicious pizza codes and, using the power of the imagination, enjoy them in an entirely virtual sense.
Some poor intern is spending their summer burning CDs in a San Francisco office building...
Some poor roofer is working 14 hour days in this ungodly heatwave. Burning CD's sounds like a pretty sweet gig.
Some poor underage girl has been trafficked in the Philippines since she can remember, and it is the only life she will ever know. Roofing 14 hours a day sounds like a pretty sweet gig.
Same stunt Samsung pulls when Apple does something like remove the headphone jack.
Headphone jack mentioned. I'm not going to stop buying phones based on them until there are no such options remaining, God forbid.
I used to hate phones without the headphone jacket too, even though my headphone lines always needed some detangling out of my pocket when I needed them. But then I tried a pair of Bluetooth earbuds (two earbuds connected with a plastic band to hang on your neck), and actually fell in love. No need to detangle lines, and when I don't listen to things I could just take down the earbuds but leave the plastic band on my neck. Not easy to lose, compared to the completely wireless earbuds. Batteries are in one or both ends of the plastic band, so one charge could last a long time. The only downside is it takes up more space than both wired headphones and wireless earbuds when you put it in a bag, because the plastic band is not that flexible. But that's a cost I am willing to pay.
I remember years ago, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, etc., could all be obtained via CD for free; years later, everything become a limited print. https://web.archive.org/web/20090219122023/https://shipit.ub...
Yeah, 2010 CDs were still pretty visible. Not sure how many people still ordered them, but at least they were always distributed at events. Don't remember when it started to no longer fit on a CD.

I think they did. Honestly the 2 announcements seemed timed, like a mutual stand down.

There might not be a next xbox since Microsoft has been slowly moving away from the console idea to the platform idea with xbox.
