Favourite physical media for games, and why

[SvennoJ]

I would say (4K) Blu-ray since all the data of modern games can fit on there, but ever since cases got flimsy with just a disc and nothing else, PS2 / GC / XBox / Wii(U) CD/DVD are my favourite. Sturdy boxes with art work and manual inside. CD also had the benefit you could play the game music in any CD player from track 2, eg Wipeout 2097 is a great music album as well.

Early 360 and PS3 were still good as well but not always the complete game on there and the decline of the manual and extras started there. Plus blu-ray boxes (ps3) feel flimsy and Sony changed the side labeling halfway through doh!

Cartridges were great for convenience but hard to organize on a shelf and the Switch cartridges are so tiny you never find them back if you don't put them back in their flimsy case.
