In any format? I prefer to buy video games physically and have a respectable book, VHS and vinyl record collection. Though the majority of my music and video-based entertainment are digital.

I keep it around and don’t use subscription services or DLC, but the physical media itself doesn’t see everyday use, excluding books. When I had a bit more time during the quarantine, I digitized about half of my physical media library. Now if I need to pull something off the shelf, I’ll digitize it individually while I’m at it. After that point, I just run it off a hard drive or whatever portable device it’s on.
Most of my media purchases nowadays go to independent artists/developers where producing a physical copy is not always practical. Old stuff that was released on physical media often can be tracked down on archive.org since trawling eBay and thrift stores for those can get unsustainable. Everything else may be found in the high seas.
As for books, I’ll take physical copies whenever I can. I can’t stand prolonged reading on a backlit screen and I don’t do a good enough job keeping my e-ink reader charged.
