MR> Well eventually nobody will be buying physical media. It's so much easier

I have boxes and boxes with hundreds (possibly >1,000) DVDs and Blu-Rays that I still haven't unpacked despite moving house 18 months ago.

I probably won't unpack them until I want to watch something obscure that's not on streaming.

What I am getting tired of is the huge number of streaming services with content being pulled from an original service because a studio now has their own. I've now cancelled all but two services and just rotate through them when I get bored of the content. Disney+ was the one service I just cancelled despite being a subscriber since day 1 as it's doubled in price.
