| DroidKnight said: I use to have a satellite service years ago but cancelled it due to many shows going behind separate paywalls. I decided to just cancel it and I don't have any subscription services. I have never had Netflix, Amazon, or the channel pluses. I have never bought a digital movie. I've been purchasing DVD's and Blu-ray and Ultra HD 4k's as they come out since the 90's. The above was purchased today to add to the Opera section of my library. If they ever stop making physical media, then I'll be done with this stuff as well. I currently have enough unwatched (still in plastic) media to keep me busy for at least 7 years. And with the stuff I have watched included, if I cycle through periodically I'm already set for a lifetime. There will always be people willing to dish out the cash for physical and so a market will exist somewhere for peeps like me. P.S. Streaming sucks |
The only DVDs I have are Tomb Raider, Matrix and Passion of the Christ - all of which my parents bought back in the early 2000s.
Never bought any DVDs myself or blu-ray movies.
The only digital movie I bought is Super Mario Bros (2023) which was on sale for like $8 last year (price mistake).
All I have is streaming services and havent had cable/TV service since 2008.

I got Disney+ (with Hulu), Netflix , Apple TV and Amazon Prime. Used to have HBO Max but cancelled for Netflix which has a ton of content that me and my family wants to watch.
I got to watch a lot of stuff I missed out years ago and got to watch stuff that recently came out.
Ironically always wanted a type of service like this for years and glad streaming became a reality.
Helps that I got gigabit fiber internet with no data cap too lol.
Even for music we do streaming - never bought a single music CD or anything.
I mostly use my Apple One account (for Apple Music) and my family use Amazon music for their indian podcasts, prayers, etc.
Games as a service is the only thing I cant get into because my entire gaming library is big enough to last multiple lifetimes.
