Aren't we all adults? Or are we still in our parents basement hiding behind a keyboard?

With the recent news of physical media going away, I thought as a community, we would've came together as one. Like a big family.

But I've seen so many negative, hateful comments from those who prefer digital in why we shouldn't care about physical. It's outstanding. It's High School behavior.

Some prefer digital, some don't. That choice is ours and it makes come together as one when we game.

This isn't about pros and cons. It's about choice. I'm not fully against digital, I just want that freedom of choice. I have always preferred physical. This news doesn't impact digital gamers at all. So why are they weighing in and telling us we're basically "idiots" for preferring that? We all have our reasons. It shouldn't dictate us.

This is all about protecting our freedom to what we choose to spend with our money. Thats it. Nothing more. Everything else is just noise. The arguments about not owning it, or no memory space, is just meaningless at this point.

We need to come together and fight this harder than before. Don't people usually find their greatest gaming buddies online through multi player games? Yet, this news shed a darker image of what gamers are truly like.

If you are going to come in here and start posting statistics about how digital is doing better than physical, I hope mods who view this thread will delete them. I don't care if 98% buy things digital. This is ABOUT choice.

Can we all just put aside our feelings and fight together on this? Keep physical media alive for those that decide they want it. End of discussion.

I just recently was in a thread where people are canceling Amazon to go to Walmart with their high demand steelbooks, apparently, in fear of packaging.

I've ordered over 100 steelbooks from Amazon and 98% were in perfect condition.

My trick?

Gift bag.

Someone said they spent more money on Walmart instead of Amazon because of this fear. This isn't a post about why you shouldn't order from Walmart, but more about a "cheat" on how to get a damage free steelbook from Amazon.

I have over 100 gift bags stashed in my closet as we speak cause I don't know what to do with them, but Amazon will ship these orders in a box. Always.

This post is an awareness because I'm tired of addressing this over and over again in multiple threads "oh my gosh, my Amazon order is destroyed, horrible packaging"

Yet I'm doing just fine with all my orders. So I hope people see this trick and do it. Gift bag. $3.49 or $3.99.

Thank you! Now no more complaining. The choice is yours.

So I know Deepdiscount is legit, but after falling in love with the live action One Piece, decided to start getting into the anime. Got The Red steelbook from Target.

Stampede is the only other one. BluRay links you to Ebay, because it's out of print. $300.

However you can easily just order it from Deepdiscount and they claim they will "produce" it for you, just you, because "This product is a special order".

I ordered Small Soldiers from them when it went out of stock for a week, then regret it cause it came back in stock. So they send solicited text messages. I finally asked them about this "offer".

If they can easily publish a new steelbook at the cost of a new release, why would anyone buy it on Ebay IF it was this easy? I mean again it sounds legit, via texting someone within the company, but never heard of them producing more to demand? Imagine if they did this for every steelbook.

Thank you!
