In the UK I would say there's still quite a bit of access to physical 
media...so long as what you're looking for has a fairly recent release day or 
is in the top 100 (for music) maybe just top 50 for Film and TV.  These can be 
picked up at must bigger supermarkets or some high street stores (although 
these are becoming few and far between), but once you take Online shopping out 
of the equation if the thing you're looking for doesn't meet the above criteria 
you can still probably find it but you're limited to just a few brick and 
mortar stores (HMV, WH Smith and Independents).  I think like most places with 
the exception of Vinyl here the market is shrinking.

Echoing other comments RE: Charity Shops there are plenty DVDs, CDs, Vinyls and 
to a certain extent Cassettes and VHS to be found there. Speaking from personal 
experience I never upgraded past DVD...but have been toying with the 4K options 
but never seem to have taken the plunge, maybe one day!
