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.

    The idea of classifying DVDs or videogames carts as “physical media” is twisting my brain. It’s physical storage but the data is still digital.

    That said, I do prefer to backup my media physically, even if I downloaded it initially, and primarily use my own library instead of streaming.

    I do have a small collection of vinyl and a huge collection of books. I still have all my old CDs, too, but most artists seem to sell new albums as vinyl-with-digital-download-code these days and that’s what I usually do.

        Yes. Computer games have always been digital data on physical media. These days many people have access from someone else’s physical media, but if you own the media then I guess it counts.
