greektoonsnick Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I think Digital Media (DDL) it's the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazywhiteguy Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I like having physical copies of my media. I like displaying my content. They are almost like trophies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsviewer Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 If your hard drive crashes, I think you'll see the obvious advantage to physical media. You can keep a copy of your disks for ease of use, and store the originals as back-ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homestead1 Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Digital (DDL) for a few reasons. 1. This ain't the 90's. A categorized disc folder, book, and/or album is not how I want to travel with my media. 2. I don't play any video games. (1 of 3 reason for any disc) 3. In case of a fire most disc are toast. Even a primary storage will be harmed. But having all DDL backed up on a 8Tb drive in a safe local can really be a life saver. 4. All media at a click and not having to insert/eject discs. Saving time. 5. When you have you Anime/Manga on display people want to touch, examine, borrow (hell to the naw), and ask questions (unrelated to the show).  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnawind Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 I vastly prefer physical, especially since digital that can be stored can often get you in trouble if found out and physical can last a lot longer, even after official digital stores close.

Hydiin Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Digital all the way. I dont have room for all those dvds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboss154 Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Digital for the ease of access, but I do have a soft spot for some of the more elaborate physical releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ochu Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Digital, as long as it's DRM-free. I would hate it, if I'm not able to watch my shows/movies in a years anymore.  Since there is nearly no DRM-free digital content, I still buy physical media.

bentheguitarman Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 physical all the way, would rather have 1 50gb blu ray disc over a 30gb uncompressed video file on a hdd that could fail at any time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Both , but I prefer physical ( collector's addiction ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkoreaper Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 While I do prefer having physical copies they end up not being used at all and just become a collector's item so at the end of the day it's just much easier to manage stuff digitally. Also, anything except lossless is unacceptable lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tphoenix Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Just for the ease of access I prefer digital media. I do have a bit of a Blu-ray/DVD collection, but I rarely pull anything out of it these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuryLiger Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Physical, that way you can make your own back-ups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redphin Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 When it comes to music I like physical. I like to have the disc itself and the actual booklet. I do rip all my music to disc though so that I can play whatever I want from my pc at the click of a button and transfer whatever I feel like listening to over to my phone. When it comes to movies it depends on the title. For most movies digital is fine but my absolute favorite movies I like to have the Blu-Ray of. All of my anime is digital because I live in the U.S. and anime is not nearly as readily available here as it is in other parts of the world.

ani-me Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Both Digital, for actual use, easy to store, find, sort, access, less space, often cheaper of the two Physical, for collection mostly..showoff? also, usually more reliable  Also, it depends on the stuff I want to store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dab is a Cunt Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Depends on the type of media. Digital's way more convenient but it's also fickle. I've had mad digital shit get corrupted and theres always the bullshit with licensing agreements not getting renewed and shit becoming unavailable. Physical's annoying but it's durable. For tv I can go either way, but for reading and gaming I prefer physical (honestly not sure why I prefer physical for reading, keeping books in good shape can also get annoying, but for whatever reason I prefer physical).

pinkmattered Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 This was a hard decision because I love hard copies of anything (Films, TV shows, books) but I tend to opt for digital media just so I have the choice to create gifs if I so please, and share my favorite moments amongst my friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanis Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 I'd rather own something physically, but I'll admit it's a HECK of a lot easier to consume media digitally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
