This fonsile federation has been .....bad.

Few titles worth buying. We bought a ps5 very few games. Mostly digital now.

I've been looking for an old Sony Trinitron. I want to play older games again.

We are going to need a bigger disk.

So, Xbox responded by just turning existing physical games into the dvd equivalent of a game key card for next gen.

Didn't Valve do that way the hell back in the day with the Orange Box? I could've sworn my copy just linked to steam to install the games

The industry never should have switched from cartridges to optical discs. You can fit ALL the bloated modern games on a flash drive. I've got a 1 terabyte SD card installed in the phone I'm typing this on

Can anyone confirm my calculations that if they enlarged a blu-ray to the size of a laserdisc it would hold about 6.3 times more?
