I am in this camp, my office (and overflowing to the living room) have a lot of physical books in them. Most I only read a single time. I do think they add something 'homely' though, as if they are part of the furniture / decoration.

Also, when I notice a particular book it can spark a memory (even about the surrounding context of when I read the book) which are small but nice moments.

I'm not sure I'd feel the same about DVD / Blu Ray boxes though. I'm pretty sure the VCR boxes I used to have were just kept in a closed-door cabinet and I barely looked at them unless I wanted to watch a particular film.
