Sony Reminds Us Why Physical Media is Important

(source)

Sony has announced that it will be purging over 500 titles from its Playstation Store since they lost licensing with Studio Canal. Users who bought these titles will no longer have access to them or even a refund in a few months. What a bummer.

In our age of digital content, it is important that we own physical media or at minimum downloaded media not connected to the Internet. They're one-and-done purchases, and you own them forever. Also you don't have to worry about titles disappearing or censorship. (Search the chromosome episode of Bill Nye the Science Guy for an example of the latter.) I've been stocking up on DVDs, Blu-rays, and CDs myself, and I encourage you to do the same.
