Is physical media making a comeback?
By Greyson Brunelle on March 3, 2026
Places around Edmonton have seen a rise in customer population as a new trend has hit the nation, or should I say old trend making its return. A resurgence of physical media has pushed people to go out and start collecting again, showing a rise in population and sales. Rowe Hoyal a collector of physical media himself, has noticed a rise in the population in these establishments
You know, a lot of like music shops, whether it be a HMV or like a Sunrise Records, there used to be people looking at those like sections but you’d notice more and more people starting to look at that kind of stuff now.”
With this resurgence many wonder how prices will be affected, if the demand for these products go up with supply being limited then the prices will skyrocket.
