Can we agree the CD format is complete and utter shit?

>are STILL fucking susceptible to dust, water and scratching, and NO amount of scratch resistant will preserve them.
Blu-Rays are far more durable that this is no longer a concern. Even then though, if you're breaking your disc by handling them, I can only assume you're a retard with no sense on how to handle objects.
>Here's a test, find your SNES, Mega Drive collection and compare them to your original PlayStation collection and see which are in a better shape.
Both are in excellent condition because I don't leave them out on the fucking floor.

This is why you should always emulate. Original Hardware is the ultimate meme.

Hope you enjoy paying extra to make up for the manufacturing cost.

When I first saw the UMD, I saw some kid pry it open, thinking he needed to get the disk inside. It was in the store too, no one stopped him. Then he tried to get his dad to return it. Weird times

>1TB worth of 100gb quad layer blu-rays

I think one of the problems with physical media like discs are because they're just glorified installers now. I don't know how good read and write speeds are for discs compared to HDD/SSD.

Everytime i see a disk i feel retarded, who the fuck even made this shit work, my ps3 has the blue ray literally exposed since a tv fell above it years ago, but it still works, and its amazing to see it in action, how do you even imagine that shit?

I'm frankly amazed at how bad people can be at handling optical discs.

Change that to $6-14 per disc (10 packs are selling for $60-85), and realize that 128 gig micro SD cards are reaching the $20 mark, and will be continuously lowering as we reach the next 2 console gens.

Prices are going down pretty fast, 256GB is around $40 and even 400GB cards go for $70 nowadays.
