general media Do you still buy CDs/DVDs?

[LZRD WZRD 1,929]

If I buy movies or music I only buy the physical copy. I find they make my shelf 20% cooler. Not to mention they are always cheaper (I frequently get good quality used CD's for as little as $0.01 on Amazon)

[Megas 27,069]

Mainly for games, though sometimes I'll get DVDs for boxsets of my favorite movies/tv shows.

I buy CD's CDs and more CDs...  I really DON'T belong in this era of time >.> .....

 

There is a used music store where I live and its like my 2nd home. You should see all the CDs I have o.O it makes me feel like I have a gem from the band. Having a physical copy is just awesome.

I still buy dvd's and games... I see not point in buying them off things like iTunes or the game stores on the device.... You only have so much memory on such devices.... AS for music I just download it off iTunes cause I don't wanna have to import it all to my laptop then try to get it on my phone... (still haven't figured that out)

[Geek0zoid 1,467]

When it comes to video games, I like to buy retail versions of them whenever possible. It helps me save space in my consoles.

But, music and movies? I just download them.

[Radiance64 7,051]

You gotta get physical CDs from your favorite bands, I mean come on now.

As for DVDs, well, renting them is how I see movies the vast majority of the time. Haven't bought many lately though save for some MLP ones.

I used to buy music on iTunes, but then I realized it would be much cooler to have the physical copy as well, so I started buying CDs, and now I have a pretty big collection, like 150 or something.

Sounds about right to how many I have xD I am running out of places to put them buts its all good at the end of the day.

I still buy CDs, if I just download it it doesn't make it feel "Offical." I buy DADS too. I don't have many Digital copies of movies. More music downloads than movies.

yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me

 

[Sir Hugsalot 8,621]

I still buy music CDs, because I just like having them, I like having books with lyrics included to them and most of bands I listen to also has pretty great CD covers. 

 

About games though... I stick to buying them on steam. Nearest store with computer games is very far so it is obviously better solution than going there just to buy one game lol.

[Shadowking58 1,136]

Anyone remember VHS tapes?
I probably just made you feel old.

[Haruhi-chan 486]

Some of the time, I do by DVDs. If I can though, I usually get a movie on blu-ray.

I only buy DVD's for the box casings, with the box art and extra stuff etc. 

[Guest90210 3,567]

When I have a little bit of cash laying around (which is, unfortunately, an impeccably rare occurrence), absolutely!

 

I love the feeling of buying a fresh CD from the store, heading home, tearing open that smooth cellophane, then sliding that phat CD into the radio to give that baby a spin. I'm a sucker for bonus material too - I always case through the entire booklet that comes with the disc. Then I prop it up on my shelf and enjoy the view. Same applies for DVDs.

 

You just don't get that same feeling with digital products. When buying digitally, you purchase the item and it's just there. You watch it then you're done with it. I like having an actual token of sorts to hold onto and be able to feel like I "actually have it".

not really..i usually get all my music online, same as my games and movies 

i find it riddiciously expensive sometimes to buy a dvd when it's a dvd/blue ray combo pack when i dont even own a blue ray player

as for music i have an iphone so..basicly i get it mostly all off itunes or youtube..i probably have more pony music then popular music lol

[PoisonClaw 8,153]

Occasionally I'll pick up a DVD/Blu-Ray of a movie I liked, but even when CD's were a thing I hardly ever bought them. Especially now that I can pick and choose songs I like off Itunes rather than buy the whole album for only 1 or 2 good songs.

[Scootaloodle 1,621]

For movies and TV shows I love enough I buy DVDs (I'm not on Netflix)

 

I still buy CDs occasionally, but only for converting into MP3s: Vinyl is still the best format, and MP3s are the most useful format. CDs don’t have a place other than being able to be ripped off into MP3s

[CP3_P0n3 170]

I prefer physical copies so yes.

 

CD for albums, DVD for anything, Blu Ray for games

[Miles 2,512]

I know I posted here before, but I forgot if I said that:

I have a freaking boatload of VHS tapes... 

 

LOL then I remember being tricked into "rewinding" when dvd's first came out.  imeanwut.  lmao.

Just this past Tuesday I purchased the physical copy of Pentatonix's PTX Vol. III, because I do prefer to have physical copies of everything I purchase digitally, just in case data gets corrupted and all. So, yes, I still do purchase them. There is a such thing as CD Ripping, and I do it all the time.

I watched them on the Sing-Off i.e. the tv show that makes them exist. i knew they were going to win.

@@Starflower, @,

 

I always loved Pentatonix... And well... Avi's insanely amazingly deep voice...

 

 

 

 

(What?  Surprised this rocker-to-the-core [even though he's a country-boy] has a softer side of music, too?  Heh.  Ikr.  All the wows.  Have them).

[TheAnonOne 48]

Yes I still buy CD's and DVD's I like having the actual physical copy of something if I can find it instead of just the mp3 files.
