in europe it's often cheaper to buy a game new in box from the retailer than from the PS Store. Not for long maybe. I will mourn the loss of physical games as they are such a big part of console experience

I am in Europe but I just don't do launch prices on any platform or delivery form so I didn't notice that.

Off topic, XKCD should put the original publication date on the page. This one references specific years, and I could tell it's from 2009 after thinking about it, but doesn't hit the same way.

I've never played enough Portal to get to the point referred to by the comic, but I get the idea.

And yes, I probably played Portal 1 a few years after Portal 2 was out.

I tend to read this shortly after the strip, because I am that stupid. Also because there is no easy mouseover on android. https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/606:_Cutting_Edge
