My 16 year old kid likes to buy DVDs and watch them on a CRT TV in her room. Her friends think its really cool too. She thinks its the best way to watch anything from the 80s to early 2000s era. And we have a Jellyfin server with many terabytes of media easily accessible anywhere in the house. Even with that, we are still a physical-forever house. I'd rather watch a new full 4k movie with quality audio off an Ultra HD disc than stream it locally too.

We almost never purchase digital games either, we have shelves with hundreds (a thousand?) games. I do enjoy a faster load time when I game, so I will install games right on to a console (and if necessary, mod the console to support it or at least swap in an ssd) and fill up a drive, but there is always a disc for it on the shelf for a source copy.

Vinyl is popular all over again too, and I admit I have a small collection and look for very specific things, but who saw that coming?
