CDs as originals for backup of multiple digital (MP3) copies.
DVDs waiting for digital copies to be made. What's VHS? Some kind of venereal disease? A.W.D. |

We dumped all of our VHS in 2005 or so. The oldest game system we have is an XBox 360, older systems either got trashed after they gave up the ghost or were given away. There are still a bunch of CD's in boxes or in bookshelves, but they don't get used.
DVD's we still use sometimes. Most of our media comes through Netflix/Roku/Amazon Prime/Hulu. |

If so, are you just keeping them, or using them? Got a bunch of this stuff, but just can't bring myself to get with the times and get everything digital. I'll bet some of the VHS doesn't even work. Not sure about the games and stuff, as I understand that a lot of the old NES, Super NES, N64, etc type stuff looks like shit on a modern TV. I wouldn’t throw away your old games. You could probably sell them. |

Vintage games can be worth some $$$$ these days. Let me know what you have and I might be interested (or can help you value them).
ETA: I still have a Sony VCR new in the box.

I'm selling all of the VHS tapes on ebay to folks who like vintage stuff.
I keep a handful of DVD's around as backups. |

Don’t chance getting burned on EBay. Message me on the games and systems you have and we will deal. I collect game stuff and I’d be much easier to deal with then eBay. Thanks fellas.

Have yesterday's NASCAR race on VHS, I'll watch the last 70 laps or so tonight. Recorded the race over Saturday's supercross race. Yes, the resolution is poor, I don't much care.

I have a bunch and need to find a used VCR so I can record a show that is on at the same time as another I watch. I ditched cable and use an antenna that gives me the major networks in high def, along with local crap and some channels that I didn't know we had, so I get 50 channels for free. I do miss the DVR I used to have but my cable/landline/net bill went from $170 a month down to $45 to only have internet at 200 mbps and that's it.

I was rustling around at my father's house yesterday trying to find my old CIV I, Oregon Trail, Treasure Mountain and Manhole floppy disks. I miss the old classic DOS games, lol. I gave all of my old PC game CDs/DVDs to a coworker years ago.

I have several plastic tubs with floppy discs, VHS tapes, CDs and DVDs.
Also have a bunch of Sega, Nintendo, PS1 and Xbox games. When I retire a system, I put a player in the tub with the media/games. So I have a VCR with the VHS tapes etc. That way if I ever want to revisit them (or my next of kin wants to see WTF is on them) there is a player available. All are stashed in my basement/crawl space. |

We got rid of our VHS stuff during our last move 8 years ago. I ripped my CDs to mp3 files and got rid of them all not long after that. We still have DVDs as we have many that we still like to watch on occasion and don't want to have to repurchase as streaming content.

Finally tossed all my VHS movies about a year ago when I couldn't find anyone to digitize or transfer them to DVD. Still have my CDs and DVDs. Digitized stuff has a habit of disappearing from computers and shit so it's nice to have the backups. And they don't deteriorate like VHS tapes do. Right?
ETA: I am buying BluRays to replace my DVDs then sell or give the DVDs away. |

VHS no.
Old games yes. I haven't played any in z long time but plan to when my son is old enough to pay attention and play too. I figure it will be good to introduce him to the classics. |

I move too often to keep much of that stuff. Have it all (or can get it all) digitally.
VHS, in particular, was crap from the get go. So no need to keep crappy video around. I recently sold all my Heavy Metal magazines when I found all of them online. Probably will end up throwing away the old 2nd Edition D&D books too. Not worth the time to find a buyer. |

I still have a collection of vhs tapes. I also have one of the last professional high end vhs players with computer tracking control. I have it set up with a dvdr recorder. I have been gradually converting many irreplaceable vhs tapes over the dvdr. I still buy dvds and some cds. I still have my collection of lase discs, though I admit I have not played them for several years.
I have not made the transition so to speak. I don't live in a cave though.

VHS, cassettes, and 8 tracks all got sold or recycled. The only vinyl I still have is my original Black Sabbath albums.
Watching DVDs is still something I do regularly, and I just finished ripping my CDs onto my PC last night. I'll keep them for backup though. |

I buy CDs on Amazon. Most of the time they come with a free digital copy. This way I always have a tangible hard copy backup in case something happens to my digital copy.
Movies on the other hand, I buy on Google play. People always want to "borrow" DVDs and rarely return them. By getting streaming movies they can't borrow them and lose them. But I have been spending less and less on movies. Hollywood is pretty much against everything I want my country to be, so fuck them. |

CDs, DVDs, VHS.
The VHS tapes I need to do something with as they are bulky and take up space and I hate having totes or bins with old videos on them when we don't use them. CDs not so sure; the old music CDs I have all been put on to multiple digital formats and storage devices. Other than nostalgia for a broken jewel case and the album insert there isn't much use for them. |

I digitized all of my media (BluRay, DVD, CD, etc.) and serve it to the home network via Plex.
The physical copies of the media sit in a flat bin under the bed, taking up no room that would be used for anything else. I keep them around in case of data corruption, if I need to snag subtitles off of something, etc. I also have a fair amount of old school video games, but they get played pretty often. |
