Do you own a CRT TV or a Plasma TV or an LED TV or an OLED TV?

Does anyone know what type of TV most people own? I've been looking for sales statistics or surveys, but I can't find anything.

Many games have Collector's Editions that include downloadable content. Is this downloadable content on the disc itself or is it just a voucher that I can use to get the DLC for free? I want to know if I'll still have access to the DLC if I buy the game used. My question is about the following games:

Aliens Colonial Marines: Collector's Edition

Batman Arkham Asylum: Game Of The Year Edition

Batman Arkham City: Game Of The Year Edition

Batman Arkham Origins: Collector's Edition

Borderlands: Game Of The Year Edition

Borderlands 2: Game Of The Year Edition

Dead Space 2: Collector's Edition

Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition

Dragon Age 2: Bioware Signature Edition

Infamous 2: Hero Edition

Infamous Second Son: Collector's Edition

Injustice Gods Among Us: Ultimate Edition

The Last Of Us Remastered

Left 4 Dead: Game Of The Year Edition

Marvel VS Capcom 3: Special Edition

Mass Effect 2: Collector's Edition

Mass Effect 3: Collector's Edition

Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition

Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition

Star Wars The Force Unleashed II: Collector's Edition

Can anyone give me the credits for Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects? The credits listed on IMDb and Behind The Voice Actors are incomplete.

I'm particularly interested in knowing who voiced Magneto and The Thing.

Superman was a video game for the Atari 2600 that came out in 1978. Despite being 24 years old, it will still work perfectly if you have an Atari console. When you no longer want it, you can sell it on eBay and it will work just as well for its new owner as it did for you. The cartridge will probably last for many more And when it does stop working due to extreme age, you can download the ROM file and play it on your PC with an emulator. Superman is not exactly a good game but it will probably exist until the end of human civilization.

Then there's Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa, an MMORPG that came out in 2007. Even though it is only 5 years old, it will no longer play because it was shut down in 2009. Its 272-page Official Strategy Guide will never be read again. The same thing happened with Star Wars Galaxies, The Matrix Online and many other MMORPGs. That's because these games were never released and nobody ever bought them. What everyone bought was permission to play someone else's game. Most of the time they had to keep paying for that permission in the form of a subscription fee. When the companies that actually owned the games decided it was time to press the off switch, that was it. They're gone forever, just like the early Doctor Who episodes.

There's also the story of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and its downloadable content. The DLC packs included the characters Black Panther, Cable, Carnage, Juggernaut, Magneto and Psylocke. This content was removed from the Playstation Store and the Xbox Live Marketplace on December 31 2009, despite the fact that the game had only been out for a few months. The DLC packs were brought back in July 2010 after a fan outcry, but were removed again at the end of the year. Downloadable content for PS3 and Xbox 360 cannot be copied onto a USB drive, so all you can do is hope that a complete stranger will give you their account number so you can download it from his console. And that only works on the PS3. It's normal practice to wipe a console's memory before selling it, so pretty soon these DLC packs will be gone forever. All because they were never released in a physical form.

Video games are a form of art and I believe that they should last forever, even if few people play them. That's why it annoys me that so many games are being created which will probably disappear in less than a decade.

Do any of you guys feel the same way?
