Do you still buy tangible media?

[Ichigo.]

I don't really watch movies so I don't buy DVDs, but I still buy CD albums! kpop cd albums are actually really detailed so they're fun to get. but even then...they're expensive bc of the shipping fees so I only buy what I reallyyyy want and download the rest. if I had more money I'd definitely buy more physical albums. and for video games, I definitely try to buy physical.

 

[Hopeless Opus]

i still buy both sometimes. mostly cds though.
also i hate digital books, i love feeling the book in my hands rather than reading on a computer

 

[Brad]

The only physical media I buy is books.

I have such a hard time reading a comic/novel on a screen. Not sure why.

But everything else, MUST BE DIGITAL.

Music is obvious. And, I have no need for physical movies (aside from obvious quality increases), and especially no need for game cases as there's no difference..

 

[Alienfish]

I mainly buy vinyl if I buy physical. They don't really have too much interesting stuff on CD's here. And yeah I prefer watching stuff on DVD rather than computer, it's just not the same feeling to me there. I try go to the movies when I have the dolares

 

[Mega_Cabbage]

I like having games and books physically unless it's available for free online.

 

[Romaki]

I only buy my favorite albums that I'd like to own physically.

for movies, i usually just go putlocker or download from torrent because it makes my life easier. if i cant find a certain movie anywhere online then im going to a dvd store. for music, spotify is my savior.

For movies, if I want to buy them I'll always buy a physical copy but music I can take or leave. I do still buy CDs but some bands/artists are too difficult to find physical copies of so I just buy or download them digitally.

 

[wassop]

i buy dvds sometimes if i really love the movie just to have it in my collection . as for music i keep it digital , and i never buy books online

 

[MishMeesh]

I rarely buy physical CDs now. Basically I'll only buy them if they're like from a merch table at a show or something. I usually use iTunes or Bandcamp for music. But other than CDs I mostly buy physical media. I prefer owning physical DVD/blu-rays because it means I can watch them without needing internet and also without having to take up space on my hard drive. I can also sell them if I don't want them anymore. Books I buy are physical books (not because I'm necessarily a ~book purist~ but because I simply don't have an ereader lol). If it's a movie that's hard to find in stores then I will stream it. I mostly stream any new TV shows I want to watch, I only have a few TV series boxsets.

 

[bigger34]

Not really. I just use Spotify and if I want to watch a movie I just rent it on Netflix or Dish.

 

[Twisterheart]

Yes. Except for music I always buy the physical copy or something. It feels more satisfying to me that way

 

[moonford]

I buy DVDs & CDs, I haven't bought anything digitally before and I probably never will.

 

[SmallestJen]

With music I buy it mostly digitally because I don't have speakers other than my Bluetooth ones.
With books though I always buy them physical, personally the supposed ease and convenience of digital books doesn't make up for the loss perks in owning one in the flesh.

 

[Trent the Paladin]

I buy things physically because at least I can say I own that for a fact, compared to many digital market places where a lot of times you don't actually own what you've purchased. Plus if for some reason you ever get banned from one of those services, you still have access to the things you physically own. You get banned and you've lost access to your digital files.

 

[demoness]

i have tried to transition to digital as much as possible. i don't buy movies or music physically because paying for netflix and spotify and using streaming sites that are... free, we'll say, usually covers that. i definitely prefer e-books, and i only buy physical video games when it's something i swear by and want to display because i have no desire to waste space and don't have space to super waste anyway

 

[tumut]

Both. I prefer physical copies of stuff like video games and movies so I can put on my bookshelf, but with music its more convenient to have it digitally.

 

[chaicow]

I stopped buying tangible media a long time ago

 

[Melchoir]

I usually use digital media, but recently I bought CD copies of What's The Story, Morning Glory?, American Idiot and Hot Fuss. I also bought Moose Blood's new album, Blush, on vinyl. It's the most beautiful record I've ever seen.

 

[namiieco]

i never really get physical copies unless i really like it
