I prefer physical media but, as we all know, storage methods become out moded and vanish. Offline digital storage may eventually become a necessity because of that so my DVD/BluRay collection will eventually need to be ripped, if i want to continue to enjoy it.
If you think that your offline music is safe, you might want to consult with all of the people who had rare tracks overwritten by Apple. I have friends who lost rare digital tracks when iTunes decided, in its infinite digital wisdom, to swap them out for the standard broadcast versions of the same songs, a few years back. This was done without warning and once gone, the originals were irretrievable.I store music offline, too. It's relatively easy to do with music. You're right about games and movies, though. That stuff pretty much lives on cloud services without an option to download.
