Being someone who has collected Big Finish releases for nearly 20 years, I’ve got an awful lot of them. I fall into the middle group I’m a Selective. If you are wondering if this is going to turn into an opinion piece, you are right… Sadly – and this is the only negative I will assign to any group – many in this crowd have voiced that if Big Finish stop producing physical media, then they would stop buying Big Finish productions altogether. Being audiophiles, which is very commendable, they want to experience the best audio quality available. The physical-only group, as the title suggests, will only buy a Big Finish drama if there is a CD or vinyl to handle. This seems to be driven by the storage-space issue that the download-only group are ruled by, but still want to have physical copies of that special range.

This group also includes many overseas customers who find that the postage costs makes buying the CDs too expensive.

In addition, there is appeal and convenience of the Big Finish smartphone app, or the ability to arrange downloaded releases on music management software (you all know to which one I refer).

The download-only group confess that they’d love to be able to have physical copies of all their Big Finish audios, but they just don’t have the room. There is one subject that keeps popping up in which people get very possessive: the download vs the physical copy.įrom this discussion, it is quite usual for three distinct groups to emerge: Download Only

Typically, it’s full of re-postings of Big Finish notifications, people asking whether a range or title is worth buying, and speculations on up and coming releases. I belong to a social media group which discusses anything to do with Big Finish productions.
