Exactly. I have tons of books that I will only read once in my lifetime, yet I take great pride in displaying them nicely on the many bookshelves located around my house. No matter how good ebook readers get in the future, and no matter how much more practical they are, they will never quite cut it for me. Same thing goes for my DVD and my CD collection. I have a tower where all my music CDs are displayed, downloadable music will never replace that, no matter how good the quality gets. I can't remember the last time I watched many of the movie I own on DVD, but they look quite nice lined up on my shelf, and I am proud of the films I own. Half the fun of having these things is the fact that you have them and can organize them nicely, displayed nicely for your own satisfaction or for any visitors who might happen to take a glance over at your collection to see what you have (I know I do that when visiting others).

Nothing will ever replace physical media for me, and I know I am not the only one who feels this way. I just got a 360 not too long ago, and I have bought a few things off of LIVE. It is nice how it displays them nicely with their cover art in your game library, but it just isn't the same as being able to reach out and touch them.
