Physical Media Regarding BD and HD-DVD

[vladittude0583]

I am sure that everyone here on this forum (or at least most people) will agree that this BD and HD-DVD Format War is the last "physical media" this generation will come across given the current transition into the digital age. I personally believe that Microsoft foresees a future of "digital downloads" as the main outlet for media for the masses which is probably why they pro-HD-DVD. However much time passes by, I would still like to have "physical media" in the foreseeable future no matter how "digital" we become. I have always believe that there is the possibility of Hard-Disk Drive failures, Thumb Drive innaccessibilities among others when it comes to "digital downloads" for media purposes. Well, I wanted to ask you guys on what your opinion is regarding this issue? Do you like collecting things "physically" or downloading them "digitally" etc? Thanks.
