Let's do this. Welcome everybody to another episode of the Game of Traffic show. I'm your host, mike Sansom. To the Michael House.
Speaker 2:Simply amazing. How am I doing today?
Speaker 1:Everybody get up for Mr Amazing. On today's Game of Traffic show, we're going to talk about a CEO when a gaming company is leaving Mr Amazing. Is he leaving at his own will or is he kicked out?
Speaker 2:Most likely kicked out.
Speaker 1:Every space always going to say because this is very scary. We're also going to talk about leaks in the gaming industry and we also talk about a movie flopping this past week, Mr Amazing. We're going to show talking about Jim Bryan leaving Sony PlayStation after 30 years with the company. I think, I believe he got to the company a little after the first.
Speaker 2:PlayStation. He came in the board in 1994.
Speaker 1:He came along in 1994.
Speaker 2:So 30 years would have been next year. Well, he's leaving March of 2024.
Speaker 1:So yeah, yeah, he's almost 30 years with the company.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so yeah, he came a little after the first PlayStation. So this is what he stated. I find it increasingly difficult to correct the sound of living in Europe and working in North America. Ryan said in the press release I will leave, having been privileged to work on products that have touched millions of lives across the world. Playstation will always be part of my life and I will feel optimistic then ever about the future of SIE. I want to thank Oshida say a place is so much trust in me and being incredible sensitive and supportive leader. That's what he stated.
Speaker 2:So I guess. So he wrote that from. He just read it. That's exactly what happened. I mean, he's been living in Europe and working North America for God knows how long. Why is it not becoming a problem? I mean, yeah, we get older, we want to relax more. I get that, but it never was an issue before, and especially this day and age, with digital, you don't have to be in the same country you work at now. So I don't know how is that a problem.
Speaker 1:So the man was put down with family and after you want to do that.
Speaker 2:I get it, Michael, that's like that's like you live in.
Speaker 1:You know California and working in Chicago. What I could do.
Speaker 2:People do it all the time. He's remote. You have to go lift boxes and do something. He make the guys most of the conferences.
Speaker 1:Different time zones. Okay, michael, that's again. He's digital.
Speaker 2:This is digital. He's not leaving his house. He might have to go to one or two parents is here and there, but the men for 365 days. Michael doesn't need to leave his house every single day, Michael, he's not a nine to five like you, and I Go ahead, go ahead, convince me, michael, because you're not.
Speaker 2:He's forced out for reasons I don't know, because PlayStation came out and even said that Sony, the PlayStation five, is having his best ever sales of any system ever produced. So I do find it awkward that he's just up, leave it. Is he doing a Michael Jordan? Leave it on top. Is that what he's doing? Is he doing the John L A or is he being pushed out? Which one is it? I don't know. There's something happy we don't know about with the hack a couple weeks ago. Cause him to walk away. I mean, I don't know, with so many things behind this, I find it to blend a man on top of with no warning, because to me, when you leave on your own credits, you would say things like hey, next year, guys, I'm going to retire, I plan on doing this. It was also out of nowhere, out the blue and he gave you what a six month spend.
Speaker 1:Can we okay? He will remain with the company until March of next year.
Speaker 2:Still not convinced me, man. Something happened we don't know about. I'm sorry, man, something happened. This is so the only way comes, as they have a new vision. I mean, I don't know who's taking over in the interim, did they say.
Speaker 1:Mr, I want to pass the name C F O Rock cool.
Speaker 2:I'm not sure. I'm not familiar, but I'm sure we'll get to know over the time.
Speaker 1:H I R O K. E Rocky, rocky he was stepping in an inch more. Ceo. Effectively October of this year. Until further notice.
Speaker 2:Why is he stepping the guy? Still there? You March no.
Speaker 1:Effectively. He'd be helping out.
Speaker 2:He's like he'll be like an assistant role. You know how shadow you should shadow no that's okay.
Speaker 1:You get updates and certain things going on. Look man.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna give Jim Jim Ryan his flowers. I mean, he was behind some of the best systems PlayStation two. Obviously. He had very lots of stuff with the PlayStation three, playstation four.
Speaker 1:We saw our I mean, I don't know how deep he was, but he was involved throughout the lifespan of all these things.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, so he's been around for all that stuff, so I'm gonna give them as far for bill and I think, outside of maybe the biggest hiccup was the price the price of the PlayStation three and the major places through your also out of the way.
Speaker 1:We don't know. He was involved with the price.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, no, no, no no, no, no say, like under his reign, like those are probably the two things that you're going to think of, if there is anything under his reign was that right.
Speaker 1:Every person he probably was going to.
Speaker 2:People involved involved with it yeah, but he's gonna get Michael when you did a son who you're not see where I'm coming from. What I'm trying to tell you is that what he's the face of Sony for those 30 years. He's one of.
Speaker 1:North.
Speaker 2:America, of North America. He's the face of Sony and North America. Doing that, doing that time, do you?
Speaker 1:know what Jim Ryan was at that time, what his role you talk about all that time all that time no matter how he's the face. He was there. Oh, mr, he's part of it. He's there. Mike, Mike, Mike, he's there, he's there, he's there, but it's not mean that he was, that he was that deeply involved with each one of these projects.
Speaker 2:What was his role doing those times? What was?
Speaker 1:his role. I forgot his role at the time, Mr Do you know what he became Sony C.
Speaker 2:So Sony Um, yes, ceo, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1:A couple years ago couple years ago, but he was pre launched over the PlayStation five.
Speaker 2:You know it's been five, so that'd be 2020.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but he was still a major figure, that he's one of the players, but, like I said, you are adequate to him. Be every deeply involved in all these places, I mean.
Speaker 2:I see what you're saying.
Speaker 1:That's what you know. If I was a janitor there, I was, I was part of it, you were, you were.
Speaker 2:But don't mind me. What's your thing? I mean, you know how I feel about you. Think he's forced out all you think he's legal.
Speaker 1:I forgot his role was previously. No no no, but what's your take? I'm my take is I don't really know. I mean, honestly, man can be tired of doing what he's doing driving back and forth to the country for his family, friends, hey, and I can see, probably want to try something different. I get it. You guys are different. I didn't know he was in the 50s. I thought he was in the 60s. How is it he's in the 50s?
Speaker 2:No, he's older than that Isn't he?
Speaker 1:I don't know, but they were saying he was in the 50s. I didn't know that. I think they're a little older beyond that. But, mr Mason, yes sir, I'm gonna go. Let's go to Jen Vry is great as hits, okay. So what we got Jen Vry was asked about backwards compatibility when it came to a place in five. Jen Vry on the spot is like who want to play these games?
Speaker 2:Is this a greatest hits? Yes, it's a greatest hits, a greatest insult.
Speaker 1:Next word of Jen Vry is greatest hits when Xbox publishers think of Xbox Game Pass. Jen Vry says publishers do not like Game Pass.
Speaker 2:according to him, I think we're asking the question why he's being left go Okay.
Speaker 1:Another word of Jen Vry is greatest hits. We're talking about the blockage of Activision Blizzard and one of the meanings Jen Vry told Xbox heads I don't care about code, I just want to block the steal.
Speaker 2:Yo, that's what I like. Actually I call it. I keep it against the.
Speaker 1:That's what we had in the guest week.
Speaker 2:That's what I actually like.
Speaker 1:That's Jen Vry. We appreciate your service as SOTY. Wish you the best of luck at what you want to do. Hey, good luck, brother Good luck, my new adventures Yep, alright, come as may, as always. Think A-Buy getting pushed out, reggie Fias getting pushed out of town, everybody getting pushed out Cospiracy theory.
Speaker 2:He did something. Mike, he did something. Yo, we don't know. Send me a job, jobs like that. How you want to walk away if you got none better, oh brother.
Speaker 1:Leave you to Mr Amaze with some amazily crazy comments, alright.
Speaker 2:Show them off the only one, alright, alright.
Speaker 1:I mean, I looked online. There's a couple of Jen Vry haters, and you know what I'm saying. People wanted Diddy to get fired because he didn't block the Xbox deal. That's a good point actually that's a good point, but come on, but he only has so much to pull with that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, how much can you do with the Xbox? That's beyond him actually.
Speaker 1:With the Xbox Blizzard deal. Come on, there's nothing you could do about that. Really, he did the best he could. Yeah, that one's hard.
Speaker 2:I can't blame him for that, because the FTC had a weak case.
Speaker 1:I don't know who was in the case. They have no video game knowledge so Jim Ryan couldn't block that. Deal with Activision Blizzard.
Speaker 2:There's too much power in that.
Speaker 1:And it was like I said, it was a weak case by the FTC. Alright, mr Amazen, let's go to our next topic. Our next topic is Damnit Major League Happen. A document that was filed against FTC versus Microsoft came up with big surprise. Mr Amazen, I know Mr Phil Spencer said that there was no Reno, no Xbox Pro, but there will be new consoles, more of a refresher for the Xbox Series S and X, mr Amazen, co-named Brooklyn. Okay, so it's more of a refresher of the console, so I don't go ahead and change. It looks like I know you saw the pictures, but not yet. It looks like a cylinder. It looks like those. I'll put it simple Just waste trash bag in your kitchen or in your bathroom. Is it big? It's not that big. It's really small.
Speaker 2:So it's just this card where it's different, or is the specs different as well? Oh the specs.
Speaker 1:Well, from the specs where I read from several places, the specs should have a C, mr Amazen. It should have up to two terabytes of storage, a USB-C one port. Finally, yes, it's also added Wi-Fi C-E support, bluetooth 5.2 radio.
Speaker 2:Okay, and when is it supposed to be dropping.
Speaker 1:Next year. Next year it's supposed to be announced allegedly towards the documents in June of next year.
Speaker 2:Okay, I don't know. I don't know if I'm excited about this, though, because you just dropped the black Xbox with the one terabyte.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're also doing fresher the S, but it's just going to be black instead of one terabyte and it's supposed to be. We'll say equal. Are these equal friendly? Equal friendly? Okay, yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to go for equal friendly. I'm going for that.
Speaker 1:But it also will fill the roadmap of games. Mr Amazen. Yeah, they will. They will. We won't games, some games you knew was coming out.
Speaker 2:Indiana Jones. What do you mean? You're about that?
Speaker 1:Remaster Oblivion. I've never played it, me too. Dooms year zero. I'm sorry about playing that. I'm a big DSM and two unnamed projects. Okay, probably, it's probably something we probably heard about at the time this was released I think it was 2020, this document, so so is the 10th generation Xbox plan to release in 2029?.
Speaker 2:The, the which generation 10th, generation, 10th. Okay, you're talking about the new. Yeah, well, I read about that one too. Most 20, 20, and I thought it was because it is going to go a little a year over, because usually they do it every seven years, but this was going to be eight years. These are, you know, preliminaries though, but we'll see. They don't, you know, they don't know, there's not much about it yet because it's still, we're still years away. I did, I did hear the same, that same factual as well.
Speaker 1:And the pricing to be the same of the refreshers that are coming.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So the series X refresh will be 499. Series S refresh will remain 300. Okay, it's nothing really different with the series S. The box looks the same. I mean, it's just black, just black, and more and more and it's just efficient. Yeah, and probably the thing is one terabyte, this one, sorry, one terabyte.
Speaker 2:Well, that's given somebody like myself, who didn't have more than I want to get Now, this will be the perfect time for me to jump into that. You know that. You know getting the Xbox.
Speaker 1:And, like I said before, the PSU power will reduce by 50% according to the article. We'll see.
Speaker 2:I mean it's exciting news. It's exciting news, Something new.
Speaker 1:Am I going to rush down by five, five a half point when you rush out and buy one? No for you. I don't think it's that exciting for you For the Xbox, for either one the Xbox X or S when you rush out and buy a new one. If you were a half one, no, I would not If you were a half one.
Speaker 2:If you were half one, wait, what did you do with it? I would not, okay, but for someone like me, yeah, but for you, though, you could buy the one right now. No, but I'm better off getting the one that's coming out now, because you know.
Speaker 1:But you could buy the one terabyte right now I could. I think it's 15 from one terabyte, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're right. Actually you buy it right now. I'm off and you could friendly, but like, if I really want that, you're right, I could just go out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, look at that, get the S. I think it's 350 you get right now Not as true, it's not. If I go on and go on right now and go, oh my God, I go buy, why do we have one already? The only key thing with the series X is that no disk drive. Yeah, yeah, that's true, I Probably will. It probably has a little poor you attach. Yeah, I'll detach those CD drive to it. I mean, I'm a person I'm gonna try. The main person clicks Mostly my stuff of physical Like you, I am a physical person to, I'll do a mix.
Speaker 1:I'll do a mix, depending the game again I really like, I'll, I definitely buy it. Yeah, the only thing what we told the digital future and I want to ask you Does it, does it make you more cost Concerned, can you all? Because at least if you buy you again, you can sell it. I mean, I use game, you buy a game, you should know, and I really like it, I can sell it. Yeah, now we just think about it. Oh, my god's game is right crap.
Speaker 2:It's about forgetting digital digital and you can't, we can't know from about you.
Speaker 1:Can we sell it or get some of your money back? Or that's my, my main, not my main concern. But my thing is like the games that will buy willy-nilly, I'm not gonna do that, no more. And now, but now it becomes more critical with now, with It'll give good reviews Some people might like it's then to get a ain't buying it.
Speaker 2:You're right. I think that's why they're also pushing where you get the high tier Game pass where you could try out games.
Speaker 1:So that's always thing with a with a digital future, it's like Suck.
Speaker 2:Go for $70 now you won't let unless, like it, just pull off 70 thousand, get a game.
Speaker 1:No, and now you're not packaging what you call. You cut the third party out by. You know, not selling in stores, but you're not gonna see this count for the consumers, just do won't try you 70 bucks they are, unless the game is.
Speaker 2:You know saying that's six months to a year, a mark years that game's got full price.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but. But back. But back to the back to the Xbox, um first, but different spots. You saying plans do change, so could be new plans that change. Okay, that's fine, I mean new plans do change. I mean I was saying new plans, plans do change. Yeah, and that thing was wrote, written 2020. So, All right, mr Mason, and just won't say what the topic? No, that's it. Mr Mason also was building a documents. Was Microsoft CEO Spencer we build? He would like to buy Nintendo someday in August 2020, we're gonna crack.
Speaker 2:Is he smoking?
Speaker 1:I've ever done a story. There was a story saying that Microsoft Proposed that in the town that they laugh. Why wouldn't I do that? I'm finding it, though. I remember our first prints with DJ Don't, don't do that, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:That cry is what would attend to do that All right, so let me continue.
Speaker 1:In August 2020 email, okay, two top Microsoft marketing executives Spencer wrote that Nintendo is the prime asset for us in gaming and that Getting the tunnel will be a prayer moment. I honestly believe a good move of companies.
Speaker 2:If he said, hey, my first goal is to get game pass on the switch or some kind of tell a platform and Vice versa, you could get, you could stream that tell the record on an Xbox platform or trade-off, let's work with that first. But the fact that you think you come here and shove money to the turn, that they're gonna look at you crazy. But why would they do that? There's this super successful and this was successful with always being the third. The third console, and I mean by that is like graphic wise, they're always the third console and there's super successful. There's no way they'll do that. And if they do, michael, I will be utterly shocked if the 10 was with the bike. Like I said, I can one day see game pass on Nintendo and vice versa, but I never see the day where I Direct my. You could probably buy the Xbox as a trade-off, like, hey, I don't think that happened too, but I just get to say you could be honest, I can't be yours, I just don't see that happening happening.
Speaker 1:I agree with you though I agree with you, was a funny story, though.
Speaker 2:I agree, and ridiculous from that they even write that you must have been like, you must have been smoking, son and I but it is shows Microsoft's all about buying instead of creating internally. Hmm, yeah, that's what they do. Man who had a successful summer buying every goddamn studio in sight, microsoft, that's that's the ammo. I call them the Yankees of gaming. They buy the big, they buy. They buy all the hot stuff. That's what they do. I'm not mad at it, though. Well, like that's a.
Speaker 1:Yankee's a kid, I'm win every year. You know exactly right this boys Whoo Yankees are too horrible in the Mets and. Mr Mason, it's go to the movie realm. You know I watch this series. You popular watch this movie. Which one is spend comes I saw.
Speaker 2:I saw the first one like the first one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I did actually. Yeah, you see the second and third one.
Speaker 2:Which old star was on there?
Speaker 1:What is time I remember what.
Speaker 2:I think I saw that one then I think I thought I said this is the first.
Speaker 1:Antonio bananas.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is the first two.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the first three is three.
Speaker 2:I didn't see the third one.
Speaker 1:That's the one that's one where this type was in, other than I didn't see that one On the Ross. I saw the first two yeah, so yes, mr Mason. Oh, no one for no, do you? Do you a game traffic trailer for that one.
Speaker 2:We did. Oh yeah, we did do. One man I don't think, I really Know. Did we agree like that? I don't remember. I think we did, because me and you are both fans actually.
Speaker 1:I didn't.
Speaker 2:Did you trust? Not good.
Speaker 1:It made eight million domestically. Oh wow, it made Timon world wine, Mr Mason's. Compare the sales of the other three worldwide After okay what, what, what, what we got to what.
Speaker 2:what did it? When did it release to? Last weekend had a really quiet release, because I even hear about that Yo yeah, wow, they had to remember those actor strikes.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's right I think the advertising budget was not that much like 15, 20, the Chris a suck, chris a suck. I don't go to the rodents male score, it is suck. And the first spender made over 2068 million worldwide. Why is a big drop off? The second spindles made 311 million worldwide. The third one had a drop. Of third one made over 250 million worldwide. So there was a drop off.
Speaker 2:That's beyond a drop off man, that's. That's a haul.
Speaker 1:So I don't think they made 10 million this week. They let me know. I don't think they're gonna hit 50 million.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and that's probably not even the budget.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That's surprising actually.
Speaker 1:I think we green light it too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think. I think we like that trailer.
Speaker 1:You can, you're mess I heard that for descent of this little, this little K, to one of God's fingers during the.
Speaker 2:I even see just hurting them fingers. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:But they praise. What's the name? What's the actors name? Transformers yeah, I'm Making Fox Good. All right, mr Mason. So well, movies. Let's go to our movie trail of the week. We got more trouble than we are. Go, our guy. Okay, I'm pronounced it right. All right, mr Mason's coming to Apple TV, I believe in February.

Speaker 2:Come on, who are these people?
Speaker 1:Real life spies.
Speaker 2:Why would they care about me?
Speaker 1:Because you're a goddamn fortune teller, ellie. Well, you wrote your new book, actually, and you kicked a hornet's test. You named it no existence. I made some really big trouble, mom.
Speaker 2:Oh, so now you're experimenting with drugs. I want old assets on them now. I need her to write the next chapter. God, I hate that cat. It's time for you to meet the real Agent, hargaddle.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, Sorry, Mr Maison, Miss Penaustra, thank you, our girl. The movie coming to Apple and also movie theaters in February. Henry Cavern, superman Witcher is going to be there. John Cena, samuel Jackson Always got a job. Yeah, always got a job. Mr Maison, have you seen the trailer? I mean it looks like Crosser Jean, the lady's writing a book and what she writes happens reality.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's espionage.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think we've seen that before. Yeah, that's something new. It's interesting to me, though. Interesting, so she's the writer. What she writes is really happening.
Speaker 2:Remember the animation that was like that. Oh God, I forgot. The book goes in the way.
Speaker 1:I know it was another movie that did that. Well, I can't say death note.
Speaker 2:Death note. Yeah, I remember that, but that was just animation though, but this other movie, was set.
Speaker 1:What's that movie?
Speaker 2:The Bullock.
Speaker 1:She's writing the hero. I don't think I saw this one. But back to what we want to do is what we say we always do.
Speaker 2:I agree like this one me. You're not. You don't like using a feeling there. Give me yellow, light, yellow, that was fine. I'll give you green. I would watch it. It's up my alley.
Speaker 1:Mr Mason, you green light, out your light, we'll see what comes out.
Speaker 2:Oh, like I'm not Mike's last pick.
Speaker 1:What I'm probably green lighted too. Get the hell out of here.
Speaker 2:You probably green lighted too. Roll the tapes.
Speaker 1:What the hell 1980s is a whole the tapes. All right, Mr Mason, let's go to a should we care topic. I mean, actually we touched on it previously Early in the show. Sorry, Our targets are moving DVDs and Blu-rays for several of the stores, so reported. That target has reported stopped selling DVDs, Blu-rays and CDs for displays in their stores, but they are keeping books and finals.
Speaker 2:Well, that you know you can go out of style, though that's fine. Finals is actually a hobby. A lot of people are taking up again, especially during the pandemic.
Speaker 1:Before the pandemic he was doing it, but I don't see people going. I have yet to see him. Why go to Target Anybody walk on a vinyl. You know what I'm saying? I could go there and leave a vinyl record. Oh, I'm going to get this vinyl record Two weeks later still be there, most likely, and, like I said, it depends on the area, the country app. But I know that there's stores that specialize in vinyl in New York City. Those places, yeah, people go there. They see people. Could they specifically target certain artists and they want to buy vinyl. So I'm not surprised by that. But what do you think?
Speaker 2:I mean physical media is sad and I hate to say it because I'm a big physical media guy. Be honest with you, I prefer physical media. It's a dead game now in the digital world we live in now. So you go to a Target. Maybe 10 years ago you had three to four shelves full of Blu-rays, dvd or you know whatever At least four or five shelves full of that. You go. Now you have an end cap, end cap, literally an end cap dedicated to that. And also, when you go there it's very selective. It's probably movies you'll find that just came out back. Then you can find selection movies from years ago if they were hits.
Speaker 2:So this is not a surprise that this is happening, because you know physical media is not popular, though it's sad to say it's not popular. But the reason I'm not a fan of the whole digital world is that the digital world is based on popularity, so Like, for example, netflix put a show on there. Not enough, be watching it, done, take it off and I don't have access to it, no more. But a physical world. I Can always go get that copy of the stuff that I want and I can have it. I can always pop it in whenever I want to watch it. I can't do that no more, unless I I go find it somewhere and purchase it, which is the physical copy.
Speaker 1:I mean this is recently put some Box sets out of Disney movies that never been released on DVD or Blu-ray so they've done that.
Speaker 2:And apparently I know I have to get more information for you guys, but I was watching a YouTuber. I gotta get his name right, give him his credit where he was seeing. I think Warner Brothers have a team that focuses on older movies to give them light to a media home.
Speaker 1:I think it might be that yeah, I might be that he was talking. I saw you talking about the target. Then you saw about this other way to get it. The best buy still sells it Limited to, though, but Walmart. Walmart has a bigger selection. Okay, also, you go online.
Speaker 2:That's I'm saying you're good enough to get everything online, but my thing it just sucks like hi, I always talk about it with y'all. If I talk about dude on the show where, like I Like the fact I can go, I was able to go. Oh Yo guys, you got a basketball game or baseball game. We'll pick up some cleats or something right now, real quick, at the nearby circuit. Models are what's the other ones? But there's gone that sport.
Speaker 1:Authority sports authority.
Speaker 2:I can't do that no more. Which?
Speaker 1:I think sucks.
Speaker 2:No, but my thing is is the aspect of me being able to go pick it up because I wanted to. I was back, then I could go. Then I'm gonna get a hard copy of this move your game. You say you're off, just more limited. Yeah, and even when I wanted to get. Oh, what was the physical copy of a game I wanted to get recently. Well, how God, what game was that? Alan wink, alan wake I had such a hard time getting?
Speaker 1:Part two or 12 one was it what? You know, you saw me just pointed out the way to was not having a physical. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what.
Speaker 2:But those again, my recently, not recently, I can't remember what game it was when there's a turtle, just came on those interturtles. But anyway, no story sugar, I'm a beer for me, think what it was. There was a game I was trying to get Street, street, street, yeah, street finals one of them. I couldn't find a physical copy.
Speaker 1:Is that you with the target? I want the target and I want the.
Speaker 2:The best by my me didn't have that was weird. And I'm like whoa, this is. That's where this is a brand new game coming out.
Speaker 1:That's very popular game and I wasn't able to get it in a physical copy.
Speaker 2:I'm like that's crazy. I'm sure probably the game stop, I would have found a game so you don't find yeah. But like the fact that a target of Best Buy Ward, you know yeah. I feel out is very up there. I couldn't get it. I got a wolf what, yeah? And also I wanted to get a place. Tell it was a bit older at the time. I couldn't find it in the store, neither.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But that goes back to my point is that I'm a digital, I'm a physical media guy, so I would like to be able to purchase physical media. That's just me. But I guess I got to get used to the times because I'm sure that when the next gens and future stuff come out, so I'm gonna be digital venture.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they might get a detachable drive with it. They might, but my.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you and I's, but how many you and I's on there? When I talk to guys that work about me when it was okay, they always make fun of me they would say oh yeah, we're gonna get to the new day gen age. He goes. Why do you want all that stuff in your house? You can have it all in one place and that.
Speaker 1:I understand you don't want to stop me house understand if you don't want this. Certain media by one by digital certain games, or media one by Digital certain games. Yes, I'm engaged with a bar physical. Like I said, certain media you have like games, yeah. I like bad bar physical movies. I could deal with some digital copy. That would you? I?
