I saved all my DVDs because the pawn/sale price wasnt worth it... So glad I did.

    Films are still physical in my home. PC games are only digital, preferably bought at gog so I can download and store them. Music is also digital since I don't have any cd player. But I will continue to my films as blu ray discs as long as my blu ray player works and the films are released. Well, there needs to be stores that sell the films as well, that looks like the first thing to fall.

    I love gog too, but I'm a sucker for classic/retro games. Playing Star Flight atm, forgot how hard these older games are!

    I do still have a shit ton of CD's. I actually forgot about them until you mentioned it. Yet nothing to play them on lol. The rest is .MP3 or ripped from my CD's

    I do have an old whatever the other version of blue ray player was. They were giving them away and they can play DVDs so I grabbed on as that format failed.

    Got VHS and a deck, also got an Hi8 deck but thats more for vacation movies\4 wheeling when I was a kid.

    I do have a bunch of laser disc's but never bought a player. I need to as I have all the original Star Wars and others waiting to be played :)

    GAH now I remember: "HD DVD"
