User blog comment:Lavender Jade/Why I prefer physical copies of VOCALOIDs/@comment-32500188-20151110200612

This is how I felt about the whole thing as well... wanting to be able to prove I went the extra mile as opposed to be burried under assumptions from other people, since even to me there still seems to be a stigma that any overseas VOCALOID users are using POCALOID. (Shoot... sometimes I feel that stigma may be a reason as to why I got at least one comment of "海外やるな" on one of my old NND uploads from last year. Not everyone over there thinks that way, but it's bothersome when you do come across something like this when you're trying to present and prove yourself legit.)

Lately though, I haven't been as concerned with getting physical copies... I know it's a little harder to prove, but when I'm so dedicated enough to take screenshots of my purchase confirmations of anything regardless, it seems to actually work a lot better for me this way. (Plus considering I'm saving money instead of relying on shipping or paying for the extra materials on a tightening budget... ) Of course, it's mainly the download/backup process that makes the whole thing iffy... if you don't have a high-speed/decent internet connection, as well as the extra storage device to store your backup data on, then yeah, it's an absolute pain.

On the other hand, when it comes to my favorites though... whether or not DL versions are available, those will end up being physical copies regardless. Because I am a Grade A nut when it comes to that. (ಠωಠ)
