Yeah I love physical media over digital because you can actually own something and rewatch/reuse it whenever. It also has some value so as long as you have a means of playing that media, you can always see it.
Incredibly embarrassing confession but I started watching Gossip Girl with the missus since I never saw the show. Definitely trashy teen drama but also enjoyable and I wanted to show her the OC which is a precursor to GG (same executive producer and essentially the same setting). Unfortunately, I cant seem to find the OC anywhere but luckily had it on DVD so we can enjoy two terrible shows together.
I do see the benefits of streaming and unless I really love something, Im fine with the one/a couple and done approach and streaming does give you access to a much larger collection that you would be hard pressed to own (in terms of both financing and space). Physical media does provide added stuff (commentary, deleted scenes, alternative endings, etc.) that are just lost with streaming though.
It does suck that there is this big movement toward making a ton of stuff digital only.
