I own The Sporanos, The Wire, and Breaking Bad in box set. I have The X-Files somewhere on DVD, too.

For shows that are, essentially, an art form it's sort of worth it.

But you bring up an interesting point, because there are shows that have come out that are on par with e.g. The Wire or Breaking Bad during this steaming age (Chernobyl most recently, and maybe Game of Thrones for some - though I never got into that one). It's hard for me to think that I'll ever "buy" newer shows on hardware.
