Nice. I was wondering if this had been done somewhere before.
"Sony plans to integrate the pizza function more tightly into the game", which every game should do, of course :)

Hacker: Hold my beer while I exploit this dude’s game client and makes it order 10,000 pizzas to his door
Unless you don't have 10,000 hungry friends.
Eastern Europe's been having fun with variants of this since the 90s.
AFAIK the ol’ unlimited free pizza by killing the thread trick no longer works. It sure was nice while it lasted, especially on platforms that easily let you kill a thread id, even kids could do it.
Remember how on BeOS there was a GUI for it? Great for unfreezing a crashed app that had state you wanted to try to recover or free leaked pizza.
Now worker threads spawned for delivery hold a lock preventing new pizza being placed in the oven for that address, which is not released until the add payment callback is successful. Destroy the only thread holding the lock, and pizza orders just queue up forever. :(
