All the time.

I love my DVD collection, I'm proud of it. It's money spent over a lot of years with something to show for it.

I have around about 800 films, and most of the great British sitcom boxsets.

I started collecting about ten years ago when I realised that the TV didn't put good programs on anymore, so I needed good things to watch.

I've been trying to get BSG back from Amazon.

Basically if I have to, I will buy my favourite Shows/Animes/Movies on Blu-Ray/DVD, but if I can put them on my Amazon account instead then I will.

I have got to buy a lot of my favourite stuff back though as a lot of them have broke due to age.

I don't buy many but it was about downsizing rather than not wanting them, mostly just horror and favourite movies now.

I see most movies in the cinema now though, unlimited savesxme so much money

I rarely ever watch films so no, I probably watch a film once every three months or so and that’s not an exaggeration.

Yeah but never bothered with Blu-Ray, am I really missing out though? Is the difference really substantial?

I definitely prefer physical media - I use the repective players for the main five channels, but otherwise I can't be bothered with faffing around with streaming services.

Then there's the thing where shows or movies change service - someone who uses Netflix for the MCU is now wasting their money, but no-one can take away my DVDs <3
