I’m Collecting Physical Media like Crazy

Hi guys. I’m not breaking any news here. There’s been so much reporting on Sony be it Playstation or Crunchyroll. I already grow a little more disdain for digital media every day. From delisting items, to revoking licenses, to controlling the distribution of media, and questionable at best consumer rights, it has made me shift to more physical media. Now mind you, I was already was addicted to physical media.

Shelf #1

It doesn’t matter if you’re talking about two bookshelves of video games, my 15 or so long boxes, or budding DVD collection, I was a borderline hoarder before all of this. I was a con junkie and worked at a hobby shop for 4 years. I was exposed to comic books, Pokémon cards, and video games every day. This is my modern day art. I love it.

Now that companies are sabotaging it, I feel a passion to just buy all forms of physical media. It is a little unhealthy and over the top, but the heart wants what the heart wants. What can I say?

I love going into McKays, comic book stores, heck even Gamestop and Walmart. I don’t hate big box retail, but I do prefer to support local. But still, the clock is ticking. Soon I won’t be able to walk down the video game section of a Walmart with my kids and that sucks.

DVDs 🙂

I have such an urge to go buy my favorite DVDs and Blu Rays and now I’m wanting to collect some anime [not going overboard, but you know how it starts.]. I’m wanting to support Switch 2 games that are actually on the cart. I’m wanting to celebrate this last great generation of gaming. Even if I’m annoyed at Sony, the PS5 is still a great console. Some number of exclusives backwards compatibility with the PS4, and most games working on the disc with no internet or downloads are things that just won’t exist with the PS6

Physical Media Baby!

So I turn to you guys. Have you caught the collecting bug? If so, what media or titles are you eyeing? Let me know in the comments! Thanks for reading and have a great day!
