> but like i said, do you NEED it? do you USE it? if not, throw it out.
I actually play my phisical media quite a lot myself.
Internet here sucks, power supply sucks. An VHS or DVD is much more likely to wo
rk without issues than the alternatives. If I am throwing a party at home and so
mebody wants to watch something from streaming or whatever, we give it a try, bu
t if there are any issues we fallback to some DVD from my collection.
It is a lot like modern game consoles or PC videogames. They are so flashy and f
eatureful, but often somebody wants to play one in my home and he has issues wit
h his Stream credentials, or his wireless controller runs out of battery, or or
or or... A PSX game is no fancy but you can just turn the thing on and play in t
he blink of an eye.
