> 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 work without issues than the alternatives. If I am throwing a party at home and somebody wants to watch something from streaming or whatever, we give it a try, but 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 featureful, but often somebody wants to play one in my home and he has issues with 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 the blink of an eye.
