There are so many ways to get music, games and films now, I wondered what the situation was with you lot on the forums?

Do you download?
If so, is it legal downloading from sites like iTunes or Amazon or is it through Torrents?
I used to Torrent everything, sad but true, but now I get my music from Amazon, Tesco or iTunes downloads when they're on offer or if I have a discount card. I think the idea of DL games is great but there just aren't enough titles on offer from the retail market. Films I still like to have as a physical copy but as streaming and communication between devices gets better then I will see myself changing to a digital format.

Do you buy in the shops?
If the prices are more expensive is it just because you want physical media or an impulse buy or don't like waiting for post?

I only ever buy when there's something that's too cheap or too much of a good offer to pass up. Mostly games and movies (blu-ray), never CDs.

Do you buy online?
Still my favourite way to get games and movies, the cost is a lot less and using sites like Quidco gives me money back.

So how about you?

I always use iTunes (or similar legal downloading site) but still like to physically buy games or films - mainly online, but also I do keep an eye out for bargains in the shop.

I tend to view software/media as entertainment, so if I work for it, then I appreciate it more. If I download what and when I want for free, it drops the value for me. I must sound odd, but I don't mind paying fair prices for products.
