Do you use physical media? (lemmy.ml)

In any format? I prefer to buy video games physically and have a respectable book, VHS and vinyl record collection. Though the majority of my music and video-based entertainment are digital.

I prefer buying CDs for music & physical games for my consoles when I can (physical games on PC is kind of a distant dream now...). For TV, I think the only option to actually own your media is through BluRay/DVD. The digital stores (like Amazon, Vudu i think?) only let you watch on their platform & don't give you any files.

I do have a small number of vinyls & cassettes, but that's more for novelty than any practicality.

Those aren't really the only options to own your movies/shows ;)
