Why You Should Join The Physical Media Revival & How To Build Your Collection (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was toward the end of 2024 that I became hell-bent on reviving physical media. The expense of subscribing to so many streaming platforms was weighing on me, so I put them all on hold, and that Christmas I watched The Santa Clause VHS tape on an old VCR. I never reactivated my subscriptions on most of those platforms.A year later, I got a portable DVD player for Christmas.
