I recently started buying movies on Vudu. I was struggling for a long time with whether or not I wanted to collect media on physical disks or digitally.

Right now that’s what I’m doing but there’s always the looming fear of anything I buy being taken away if the service gets shut down.

I’m curious how others keep their media collections. Are you a Blu-ray or 4k UHD collector? Do you use a digital service like Vudu or something similar?

Tell me your thoughts!

    I’m on Vudu too and constantly wondering when it’s going to disappear on me, especially when the website crashes. I just can’t get past the convenience though. My external hard drive requires all these extra steps and cords to hook up to my laptop. It won’t hook up to my iPad at all, even wirelessly. None of my tech except the PlayStation even has a disk drive anymore.

    It’s just too easy to pull up the app or website and hope it works for another day. Although the sellout from Walmart to Fandango was frustrating, it still wasn’t enough to give up the convenience.
