Topic	Remember when people had physical media collections?

I definitely prefer a physical copy of my media because with digital the only thing you have is the hope that the service "your" media is on will exist when you want to access them. Like for example I just received an email the other day from VUDU stating they are now part of Fandango and that 'my media collection is safe'. For how long though? That's why I'm glad I have the physical discs for each of those titles still in my collection since the future is uncertain. What's to stop a company that acquires X or Y site from CHARGING people to access those digital files later on claiming they have to because of the costs associated with maintaining the servers they're on? That's charging people twice for the media they already 'own'. With physical as long as you have a player to play them on you have access to them. <cite>SJWFaqs posted [p:941656725] in Remember w...
