Is physical media coming to an end brehs?

[Ciggavelli]

It’s the future, no way around it.

If you’re a PC gamer, you’ve been all digital for a decade. To be honest, it’s better than having to put in physical media, store it, hope it doesn’t break.

Once you get over the need to “own” something, an all digital future is a good thing

I still buy 4K blu rays the sound and picture quality is unmatched. You're a fool if you think streaming is better. But you're right that physical media is on the way out.

If I bought it, I need to own it

Do you still buy audio cds?

The benefits of streaming far outweigh the negatives. You can have every album ever, in cd quality, for only $25 a month (with Tidal HiFi). Remember back in the day when you bought a new cd every week? That probably cost you $40-50 a month. For half that you can get every cd, pretty much ever. That’s a great deal in my book. If gaming does something similar, that will also be a great deal.

I prefer physical and it isnt even close. Digital is cool for cheap deals or replacing movies i have already bought on vhs/dvd. Plus I love steelbooks and collector sets.

[AquaCityBoy]

Yep, and that includes print media too.

I was at a con last weekend, and I was reading comics on my phone in between panels.

You think I was gonna carry 30 fukking comic books in my backpack all weekend?

Use up all your monthly bandwith and GB downloading and streaming and then the internet company charges you or slows down your service. So you either pay the charge or increase your internet package. Either way they getting more money off you.
It's all about the big conglomerates taking every penny you got. You dont even own what you own anymore

I'll never stop buying physical games, music, DVDs/Blu Rays, books, comic books, etc.

But an old comic book is worth something whereas the digital is worth nothing. There's strengths and weaknesses to both.

. Are you trying to get them all signed?

I'd still do physical if it's something I wanted to get signed, or one of those blank covers that you get artists to draw on.

But other than that, most modern comics are barely worth the paper they're printed on.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

I don't own a DVD or CD player. Not in my house, not in my car. Haven't for at least 4 years now. Don't miss them at all.
