One year later, I thought it would be helpful to share everything I've learned from this journey so far! There's a lot of things people won't tell you when they make videos proclaiming that everyone should start to collect phycial media again and it didn't take long for me to run into the downsides of buying things like movies and games in physical form over digital. Does physical media allow you to cancel all of your streaming services? Is it expensive? Will physical media even be around in a few more years with the rise in popularity of streaming services and digital storefronts? SOME of these are questions I can answer and some of them... I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Regardless, if you're looking for a regular person's take on how to start collecting physical media and save money doing it, this is the best vlog for the job!
