For the most part, yes. For DVDs/Blu-Ray it's mostly the same thing as video games. It's even more defined with movies since I don't pick up films/TV shows on a whim as much as games unless there's an actor I'm a fan of in it. They mainly sit on a shelf since I rip the videos and special features from the disc onto my Raspberry Pi and stream them to whatever device I wish.Exhuminator wrote:So far it seems that once you buy a game, 95% of you keep it forever. That's a higher percentage than I expected. Is it the same for when you buy a DVD, CD, or book? Or is this just a video game thing?
It's very rare that I'd by a CD. Whenever I buy music, it's nearly always on record. I stream everything else on Google Play. I only buy CDs when I'm compelled to buy an album, but it's unavailable on vinyl. As for the question at hand, I'd have to really fuck up with an album purchase to justify selling one. I always make sure I like an album before I buy a physical copy.
Books are the exact opposite for me. I buy a cheap paperback at my local used bookstore, read it, pirate an epub, and donate the paperback to the library. I don't deal with ebooks as they tend to be more money than just buying a used paperback.
