Was a movie collector. Now selling all i have before moving to my retirement place in the philippines. I find collecting a terrible material mentality. Especially now where it's not about finding things but just browing ebay and buying.

I have a bunch of now cds!

@@NerdCrave My dad has Now! 3, and I have Now! 7, Now! 11, and Now! 12. So definitely more 2000's music, all of which were on the radio when I was in high school and my year off between high school and college. Big Shiny Tunes 4 is my favourite of all three series of albums. My dad had it on audiotape, and he always played it in the car when he drove me to a summer day camp I went to in my early teens. I eventually got it on CD, but being in the car with my dad, listening to it on audiotape was awesome.

@@tgif1345 that’s awesome!

@@NerdCrave And you're right, you're not gonna find those online. I mean, sure, you can find the songs on iTunes or Spotify from the digital versions of the albums the artists originally recorded them for, but those particular collections? With those particular versions of those songs, as some of them are remixes or special versions not on any other album? Not a chance.

I have all 14 Big Shiny Tunes as well as the 3 spin-off sets - Big Shiny 90's Volumes 1 and 2 and Big Shiny 80's. My wife burned a CD for what she guessed Big Shiny Tunes 15 could have been.

I’ve heard you sing, I believe you

@@NerdCrave Yeah, sorry to have damaged your ears like that!

Thanks for stopping by. I haven’t heard from you in a while. I absolutely agree about the value of digital products. I actually did get rid of a lot of of my physical media back in the day and I’ve spent the last three or four years reacquiring it. I probably have more now than I ever did.

Absolutely, VHS is not great for that, but it got better with DVD

I’ve seen some clips of it on KZfaq I think retro Ontario KZfaq channel may have some

@@NerdCrave I'll check it out, thanks man 👍

Very true

@@NerdCraveDVDs and blue rays is the wayyyyy to go there really cheap know As in 4K hella expensive just for 1 movie like records

They want you to own nothing

Absolutely good point

i do that as well. i have a plex server feeding me 20+ TB of obtained files lol

The problem with obtaining everything is that little of it has value or is special. At that point it is all disposable. I say this not even from a physical vs digital angle. I have too many physical pieces of media. At some unseen point, it all becomes too much. But, I also have to talk about the physical cs digital angle. There is more to the experience of media than just the core content itself. From going out and buying it, to opening the package, to looking at the artwork. Handling the disc/cassette/cartridge. Touch is a very important aspect for human interaction. That is why car dealerships want you to test drive the cars. Once you've touched it, it creates a feeling of ownership that makes one much more willing to buy. Clicking on a list will never create that form of attachment. Though there is the argument that maybe we should be less attached to our entertainment. Who knows?

Hard drives are unreliable and when they inevitably break, you lose everything.

@@williamwest7008 that's true, but since obtaining all those were free(via a pirates life) to begin with, it's just as simple to get them again in that situation.

@@iiqulour wrong No one is telling u to buy all the cds 💿 in the world Just buy cds that u want and that’s it 😅😅😅😅 same with movies

I agree this could actually be a good and legitimate use for NFTs allowing a digital file to have a unique ownership number that allows people to buy and sell it and move it around

U guys are forgetting those shinyyy discs are what makes the movies look better 4K and blue rays are the best Soooo true movie lovers will buy them don’t care the price we want see movies in good picture quality Streaming is garbage 🤮🤮🤢🤢🤮🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤢 low cheap quality

Are you saying you don’t like menus? That’s like the best part of physical media

@@NerdCrave No, who doesn't like waiting for minutes till episode selections craws in sight, only to see a not skipable trailer?

@@takanobaierun wouldn’t you rather wait that one minute, then wait potential years for your favorite show to come back around your streaming service. Oh wait I know you’ll just pay for it again on a different streaming service!!! You’re the perfect example of a modern day tool they’ll take you money and hand you nothing in return. lol

@@michaeldietz2648 Und Sie sind jemand, der meint, aus einem Satz ein Psychogramm anfertigen zu können. Wood head.

@@michaeldietz2648 Großartige Leistung, aus einem Satz ein komplettes Psychogramm zu fertigen. Freud erblasst vor Neid.

Well, there are many pros and cons to both standpoints. I personally do both. I have like 20 TB of downloaded files that I run through a Plex server. I literally have a digital copy of every single DVD I own. I still watch the DVDs and prefer to interact with physical media most of the time.

Once you’ve seen two or three hard drives go down and you lose terabytes worth of stuff in one day you’ll stop trusting hard drives

Bunch of streamers in these comments 😅😅😅 Physicsl media is easy to get back u can buy cds DVDs and records again cause stores still sell them Streaming is for lazyyyyyt people that wooo never own anything and prices will go up good luck for them taking all ur money 😅😅😅😅😅

@@RobertQuant People who choose to own media in this day and age do it because they think it is hip, trendy and makes them superior. They proudly show off their collection thinking men will want to be them and women will want to be with them. You are just amassing a collection that will be tossed out on the day you die, or at the very least sold off for pennies on the dollar after you die. Happens every day.
