I was thinking of the supermarket duopoly we have here in New Zealand were the two major players own 85% of the total market. So it might not be comparible to this type of store? Margins here are around 20% so that's coloured my read of this story. The obcene profits here are at the retailer and they pressure the wholesellers to reduce prices to where they can even exceed a 20% margin. We're definitly in a "It would be a shame if your product couldn't be found on our shelves" situation. They own everything from small country town stores to large city supermarkets.

I’ll have no choice but to close a store.

Yeah, because hiring staff back and getting rid of self help checkouts is impossible?? How would they even go about that?

Or, and here's a radical idea, drop your prices so people can actually afford to pay for the food??

Oh, I forgot. Apparently it doesn't even work outside of your home wifi network (it needs to be on the same wifi as the PS5??) making it even less functional than a phone using remote play?! So weird?!

I don't understand this device AT ALL?! Unless it's suuuuper cheap there's nothing it offers over simply pairing a DualSense controller to a phone or tablet?! Add to that the awkwardness of your hands HAVING to be a foot apart to hold the controller halves and it's just mystifying why anyone would want this??

At the moment I can chuck a DualSense in my backpack and know that I can pair it to my phone when out and about. Two things I already have that work just fine and are arguably more comfortable to use. I would hope this is going to provide a better streaming experience but what I currently use is good enough for occasional use and my phone isn't even a high end phone.

Your comment was so insightful I just had to upvote it thus increasing 'engagement'. Am I helping?

New Zealand, Christchurch. We can drink straight out of the tap BUT it was chlorinated while our crappy infrastructure was being upgraded in recent years. Still is in some parts of the city I think? The actual water is from deep aquifers and was pristine and then it went through our dodgy wellheads which have since been upgraded.

Super hard to limit to just 5 but here's the first that came to mind: Star Wars: A New Hope The Matrix Delicatessen The Science of Sleep The Fifth Element

Any of the following could easily go somewhere on the above list :) Blade Runner, 12 Monkeys, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Brazil, The Hudsucker Proxy, Groundhog Day, Dark City, Inception & Intersteller (if only it didn't have the whole love is a force that transcends dimensions and can be used to communicate across time and space stuff?!)

Yeah, all I got was something about security reasons & some fan almost drowned swimming out to Leonardo's boat to say hi?! Personally I'd say good riddence BUT I would say the local economy might take a hit?
