Exactly, I don't see how people don't get this.
I'm going to continue buying my movies and games on disc as long as I can.
I think with so many streaming platforms now that are constantly removing content people might have finally started to realize the lack of control they really have and how it limits their options.
Man, that's why I have an external hard drive filled with docs and films & books, it's a whole universe of media.
Let the revolt begin
They already started it with houses and cars.
And they starting now with clothes.

yep. Been doing this since 2006.
I own all my shit and stream nothing.
Good move. U saw the future....
What will they do with the unsold physical copies? That is the question. Cause I know those items will be worth more now or in the future since this will create a whole new market of individuals looking for physical copies only
They still in business?
I go in that bitch and steal brah
Is there a software program that can make a copy of a movie streaming in 5.1?

RIP Redbox, a Bad Idea at the Worst Time
The parent company of Redbox, the outfit that put DVD-rental kiosks in retail locations, is liquidating—another sign of the death of physical media.
Just bought a 20 TB. Still don't have enough room with the two12 TB two 10 TB two 8 TB. Next year I'm gonna grab two 22 TB. I have never trusted that streaming shit bra. I hate to spend the ends on DVDS because they raise the price on old shows like Jamie Foxx running about $50 per season on some spots. Foxx ran for 5 seasons but I gotta grab it.
The torrent I had was ok quality.
It's circling the drain- the best show ideas are going into bringing people to a streaming service. Then those companies don't put the popular stuff on disc: Star trek, star wars, netflix exclusive films. I like buying my media but most theater releases haven't been great, blame the pandemic (?). Then also home releases have gotten very bare bones, I'm not spending $20+ to rent or buy just the film. Next best option is a high quality download, no variable streaming bit rates...
Beware Hollywood’s digital demolition: it’s as if your favourite films and TV shows never existed | Zach Schonfeld
The amount of media being wiped from the internet is worrying for viewers, and industry workers who need the exposure, says journalist and critic Zach Schonfeld
you will eventually, someday, fill those drives. look at it like this, with all that space, you don't have to settle for DVD quality video (that you paid for), and can instead get 720p/1080p/4k content.
