Actually it depends on the game you play. If you play the type of game (console or PC) that is a standalone, finished product once it's released, it makes sense to buy physical media and then re-sell. If you play games like Destiny, Anthem, The Division, etc. where you buy at $60 but expansions...

And then there’s this guy. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/02/meet-the-man-who-got-100000-for-a-copy-of-super-mario-bros/

Hi Josh - it goes even deeper than that. For the AAA titles (think videogame equivalent of tentpole/MCU films), they're never "done". They get released and then regularly patched and updated. I have Destiny 1 on disc, purchased in 2014. But the final version of Destiny released in 2017 is like...

Those of us who are neck-deep in the gaming world can say this is looking less and less likely. Games are now going more towards the download and store on HDD route. Data access is just faster, especially those who use external HDDs or SSDs (games run multiple times faster on my external SSD...

It's the previous generation to what's on the market right now. Like the Oppo it plays DVD-A and SACD as well. And I'm not able to watch as much as I...

The sad (for me) thing is: I work at a top ranked university. We have the best and brightest. And they spend way more time on their mobile devices on social networks ("the gram", taking "instapretty" selfies, snapchat, etc.) than they do movies/music/etc combined. Probably more than in-person...

This is gonna be long, but I wanted to put my thoughts down. These are just my opinions, and I give them with no anger or frustration, just my observations. As an owner of several thousand discs (CD, DVD, BD, UHD) I view this as movies going the way of music. To me, it's not a question of...
