Let us discuss media, including (but not limited to) Vidya Consoles, Music instrument(s), Visual Media.
Let start with the basics (Know any alternatives? reply below)- Form Factor (Physical VS Digital)
- Re-productivity (Digital vs Copies)
- Use case (depends on quantity and quality)
For Videos And Movies Blue-ray, DVD, VHS VS .Mp4 .Webm .AVI
There's so many way to store such as, Renting, Borrowing, Buying VS SSDs/HDDs/SSHDs and USBs/SD Cards VS Servers, Onboard Storage, Subscription, Streaming services.
With the advent of phones, Players, and many software like Kodi and VLC ...ect. What is the best and only true form to have a massive amount and super comfy?
Consoles VS Emulation (every major video game console possible, hardware vs emulation vs Clones, Alternatives, Hardware Reconstructions)
Example: Real NES, VS Gameboy Ports, VS Backwards Compatible Ports, VS Custom Emulators.

(won't name every possible way to play for obvious reasons, If it has an OS it can play games)

The premise is which is best? What would you choose? What controller would you use? any possible combinations apply.
I like to play GameCube on my Wii, Play PS1 on my PSP, Emulate on my PC and on Android OS (on literally anything)
Computing. PCs do everything But what about old hardware?
Example: Amiga for Gaming and Music Production
http://www.apollo-core.com/v4.html VS Raspberry pi (Single board chip or arm mini computers) VS Software. https://www.amigaforever.com/ https://www.dosgamers.com/amiga/amiga-emulator-winuae (So on and for any OS you can think of, Including backwards compatibility. Just like Linux Windows, and DOS).
For computers it's so expansive but one thing usually remains the same, form factor, excluding all size. There's Tablet Laptops, Mini PCs, Virtual Machines, Remote access, emulation, Containers, Root Terminal, ect.
Music Instruments and Instrument Hardware (Synth, EQ, Amps, ect. on a rack) VS VSTs, Files, software, emulation, DAWs
Music can be made on anything from a Ipad to a PC to a full blown studio or live recording.

There's DAWs debate, Would you use Reaper, Renoise, Reason, Abelton to record and produce realistic hardware music over Logic, Protools, Cubase, Sonus, or just go Analog?
