I've been growing my physical music collection for a little while now. Mostly vinyl records, but also some CDs. I've also been buying physical PC games whenever I see them. But for some reason, I'm not as drawn to having a physical movie collection.

If I did start collecting, it'd probably be just DVDs and not Blu-rays. (The Blu-ray DRM bothers me.) A few places near me have DVDs, and they're pretty cheap right now. However, since I rarely watch a movie more than once, I just don't really care to have a personal library of them.

Do you have one?

Not a ton.

A few hundred DVD s and blurays, maybe a dozen vhs, and maybe a half terabyte of digital.

My thing about physical film media is the extras. Music? You can snag liner notes and cover art easy enough. But a good DVD is going to have all kinds of extras, navigable in one place with less effort. You often have better sound, and you definitely have less hassle with subtitles or alternate dialogue tracks.

The thing I hate is that no storage media is eternal. I've had hard to replace movies just fail completely due to age.
