I still have all my wrestling dvds. I might get rid of the individual ppv's.

I also have a lot of old b-movie horror movies that likely won't always be available on streaming services. As well as stuff like an Off Beat Cinema dvd.
The streaming aspect is an interesting aspect of this digital era. I wanted to Watch "One Flew Over the Cukoos Nest" but didnt own it. At the time it wasnt streaming anywhere. This film won best picture. It blew my mind there was no streaming option at that time. couldnt even rent it via amazon. I think its on Netflix currently...anyways the point is, over time older parts of cinema just...wont exist.

And games...well so much of the past is gone. You can only hope an IP owner decides to remaster a game or add it to a digital library. I get the convince of digital but it seems really flawed. There's nothing to even retain a digital purchase. If a company pulls it off their servers one day tough titty. The terms of service protect them.

I dunno. Owning is better than "owning it."
