Yep, still do. For old games mostly though.

My latest acquisition. Big box, manuals, good condition disc and pure nostalgia :D

Does anyone know of a product for holding all the cds/dvds out of their boxes something like an old fashioned jukebox?

Sometimes. Reprintings of older albums are always really cheap so I don't do that too often. The last album I bought new was from last year, actually I bought it twice. And it's impossible to get Bad Communication except to import the disc.

On consoles I will always opt for a physical release unless that is not possible or I get it for free (like that Mario Kart 8 deal). On PC it depends. I almost bought Witcher 3 but then the store had one copy left and raised the price to match online distributors. I bought Witcher 2 on DVD also because the download would take far too long.
Old games pretty much unless there is a problem that might arise like poor compatibility.

I don't know of a jukebox, in what sense do you want to "hold" them? I had a ton of old OS CD's and re-release games which I de-cased and stored in this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00HKVVAZG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00
It is about the size of a shoe box and stores up to 520 CDs, with clear plastic, four per page CDs. Really please with it for only £12. Has a handle for carrying it like a briefcase.

Iv got some records from the 1920s. Unfortunately iv got nothing to play them on naturally. Id love to see those wax cylinders, id totally buy them if i saw them. Amazing invention.

Only games that have some added value - artbooks with extra lore, soundtracks... Perfect example - witcher and his enhanced edition with all dlcs and patches in one package + all the extras.

Sadly, online distribution made most of physical releases just a box with an activation code, so the number of boxes worth buying is rather small.

So yeah, collector's editions and witcher.

If they're that old, you shouldn't play them with a normal set up. There are laser record players out there, unfortunately, they're rather expensive, but you pretty much eliminate the damage that you do to the disc.

I remember seeing somewhere that somebody had made a scan of a record and then used software to rip it directly to a digital audio file. Which is probably a lot cheaper, but I don't recall if the software is available.

I don't trust those things anymore since one of them ripped the labels off all the discs I put into it. I'm not kidding, the labels literally got stuck on the plastic sheets that hold the discs. I'm almost lucky it didn't rip off the data layers.

nope, I prefer digital for many reason:
1. I hate CDs... if they would sell usb keys I would consider buy it.
2. digital it's faster, cheaper, easier, I can buy any game (also the game that will never arrive in italy) ecc...
3. what the point? why buy Cds? what I get? the same thing that I get on digital, but I have to pay more, I have to download update from a website (like the digital release) ecc...
4. I use macbook... macbook doesn't have cd/dvd drive... also if I buy a cd/dvd for a mac game I can only use it on mac. if I by it on digital I can use it on windows, mac or linux.
5. space... my digital collection don't take space.
6. cloud... I can redownload a digital game many times. I cannot use a broken cd.


I would like to have a physical usb keys with games/movie, because it's easier to use, you can reuse it and with my slow connection it would be faster.

I still buy music CDs, with a caveat: if it's a band/album that I know I'll like the majority of the songs (I often check out the album on youtube), then I'll buy the CD and rip it. If it's just an individual song I'm looking for I go digital.

Same here. Often I can't find soundtracks digitally.

I actually do, and when I get the CD, I immediately rip it to my computer. Gotta have that high quality audio (loudness wars notwithstanding.)

Wow, not heard of that. Mine is as fresh as the day I brought it. You sure you didn't leave it in the sun or something?

Whilst quite good points I would like to add:
1) All disposable medium have the same problems in differing quantities.
3) This just shows your not a collector.
4) Its not our fault.
5) It does, be it pen drives, or HDD's or cloud. Somewhere somehow that digital information is taking up space.
6) Yes, the cloud. Something totally out of your hands, when it goes down you will lose everything. If they charge you more, you cannot argue. If they decide to have a peek, you have no say. This is exactly the reasons why I want my collections as far from a network as possible, backed up on various HDDs or in thier DVDs. Funnily enough, precisely the reason I use this website.

I don't buy music, but I still buy game CDs/DVDs/cartridges. As for CDs I have some from the early 1990s that work fine (except for software compatibility stuff).

I lean towards CD more often than not. Mostly so I can listen to it in my truck. I will usually then rip it and convert to flac/mp3 so I can listen to it at home though.

One thing I like about Amazon is a lot of the CD's you buy there have an auto-rip feature so you can get both the CD and mp3.
