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've not bought a CD in years. Amazon/iTunes/Play and Tesco all have sales on where I can get MP3s cheaper. As I never look at the sleeve notes and now albums are coming with digital info for the iPhone I don't worry about packaging.
Movies are slightly different, but that's because there isn't one format that works on everything yet. If there was and the HD versions of films weren't so expensive I'd buy online.
I tried Lovefilm's streaming service which I can use on my Blu-ray and TV. It's a great idea but they just haven't got any new stuff.

I prefer to go out to the shops and buy hard copies of everything.
I'm not a big fan of downloading stuff, that's why I hate the idea of using LIVE to start downloading games, which I think will happen in the not so distant future.
I only ever download something if it's something that isn't available to buy in stores. The last thing I downloaded was Chatterbox FM from the old GTA3 game. If it was available to buy in stores though I would have happily went out and bought it.
Cases, discs, manuals etc may take up a lot of shelf space, but at least it looks like you're actually getting something for your money.
