:dahell:. Are you trying to get them all signed?



I'd still do physical if it's something I wanted to get signed, or one of those blank covers that you get artists to draw on.

But other than that, most modern comics are barely worth the paper they're printed on.
Naw just stocking up on back issues. There's nobody at this convention worth getting a signing.

It’s the future, no way around it.

If you’re a PC gamer, you’ve been all digital for a decade. To be honest, it’s better than having to put in physical media, store it, hope it doesn’t break.

Once you get over the need to “own” something, an all digital future is a good thing :yeshrug:

it's not because they put a cap on what you can have. What happens when in 3 years, subscription based services become only X amount of streams per day...X amount of play time...TV streams for this, movie streams cost extra. They control everything.

Like others have said, I’m all about getting the best quality audio and video available. Streaming will never be that so I’ll keep getting physical 4K blurays. I got one of Samsung’s last players back in late 2017. There are still plenty of options for players on the market. Physical isn’t going away anytime soon.

:mjlol: Never.... if anything the ISP's will charge an arm and a leg for you to even GET faster access when it should be mandatory, like it is in foreign countries...
I guess it can't rise while the isp's ar spendding all their money on gobbling uo the competition & not investing in their infrastructure

4k will be the last physical movie format. A bunch of disc player companies have pulled out of making 4k players because the install base just isn't increasing enough to justify being in the market anymore. I was big on buying discs but it's not worth the space required when I rewatch my collection like once every 3 years or something like that. I need ya'll to keep buying physical though so I can keep getting these digital copies for dirt cheap. I just got bumblebee 4k on itunes for $2.90.:ahh:

It's only that cheap because it flopped in theaters
