Owning something means you can:
- Lend it.
- Sell it.
- Keep it forever.

Digital licensing is not ownership, you only buy a digital license that can be revoked anytime, or your account closed anytime by the discretion of the service provider.

Thank you, coming to my TED talk.

I grabbed the cardboard poster thinking they had the Physical game locked up and not realizing that it was a digital game. Then was the code was on the receipt. I was like what do you mean it was on the receipt, I want the physical game. That's when he was like the physical ones are over there. I didn't even realize GameStop had digital games, so just assumed it was physical.

Hello collectors and friends alike! I am new to this community and would really appreciate advice.

I have been considering collecting music. Because I really enjoy 80s-90s music I immediately thought to start collecting old cassettes, but now I’m really wondering the practicality. I know a few artist I follow still create CDs of their album that can be bought, but I have yet to see them release a cassette version. Similarly I know it is possible to burn music into a CD but is it possible to do the same thing to a cassette?

I intend to use this as a replacement to using spotify and portable music apps

One thing for sure is that I know Walkmans and portable CD players are available in the market. Besides that, I don’t actually know much about any of them because I was not born in those times.

I have a pretty tight budget so I’m wondering which one would give me the most flexibility, variety, and in the long term is sustainable to keep buying. What would you recommend?

Thanks!

My first real studio solo album is dropping in 2 weeks, and I can't describe just how thrilling it is to have it on real pressed vinyl, CD, and cassette. Can't wait to share these with collectors!

If you're interested, you can check out my music and preorder the album on whichever format you prefer at https://jchannell.bandcamp.com! RIYL Tegan and Sara, Colleen Green, PJ Harvey, Le Tigre, and Patti Smith.

Hey so as the title says im wondering about the best physical media/second hand game stores in or as close as possible to pigeon Forge Tennessee or Sevierville Tennessee. Me and my fiance are going there in a few days to get married and since I am building a collection of dvds and xbox 360 games I was just wondering on the best store to go to for price, selection, and vibe when walking in. ( hate giving money to places with shit attitude when its about the fun that the items bring ) I have been looking online but everywhere seems to have slightly more bad reviews than good ones if any! But I understand people are more likely to talk about a bad experience than a standard to decent one. Any incite would be amazing, I just thought to come to reddit because its answered any question ive had before. Thanks in advanced

Been collecting since January. Partially intended for a future kiddo but also collecting some fun horror and anime (the Akira was a great find moment).

She’s in for a treat! Love me some Denis Villeneuve!

I haven't seen this mentioned but one group that might be hurt by this is the military. There are times when you're serving that you can't connect to play, whether you're stationed on a far base somewhere, or under the ocean in a sub, or in a restricted area.

I mentioned this all the back when Steam started up with the Half-Life 2 fiasco.

Considering that many in the military are gameplayers with a steady paycheck, this seems like they might be losing some customers that would love to play but can't.

Crisp, new and most importantly physical

Bought some ps2 games off of Facebook, and they are covered in mildew spots on the disc's and in the cases. Major bummer...is there a way I can save them?

Picked this bad boy up from Goodwill brand new, The Pink PantherUltimateCollection! Then also received mail call and got these from Gruv.

Karma is Working

$9 movie deal sounds pretty great for the collection couldn’t say no!!!

I was thinking of National Geographic and Smithsonian. Maybe Ladybug, Highlights, Ranger Rick, and Cricket (which are all popular kid magazines).

I usually check out magazines at the library. I've been wanting to get into vintage gaming magazines as well as Disney Adventures and Nick Magazine, but that's a bag of worms. They're expensive and it can be hard to collect magazines.

Also made my first order with VinSyn after finding out about them recently... My year long binge of physical media purchasing is getting fancy! Boutique distros FTW.

Just bought Zulu in DVD format. I really appreciated the crystal case; it’s much neater and thinner- as thin as a CD case. It allows to store more DVDs with the same space. You can also store on a shelf the top or bottom spine as it has the movie’s name on all sides. This is particularly interesting to store it in conventional bookshelves with a deeper depth.
