I collect '80s (and some '90s) anime on DVD. I'll only get something on LD if a subbed DVD doesn't exist or has been butchered. I've recently been getting into the SD Blurays, since they're a more affordable and compact way of seeing otherwise way OOP stuff. For example, you can get all Patlabor TV, OVA, and movies in one small box for like $50.
Most of my other stuff is from pre-streaming. I'll buy my favorites for the better quality and special features. I've definitely cooled off on the Criterion stuff since subscribing to the Criterion Channel. It's a ridiculous value for the price. But again, if I see something I love, I'll buy it on disc.
I did love getting a new season of a show on DVD in college – it was such a big thing to look forward to during the day. Streaming has kinda ruined that.
