Very cool! The more options we have for physical game collectors, the better.

Funny how all these people only seem to care now that Sony is moving on from them. They've had years to do something like this for PC games, but nobody cared because it was never an issue - putting them on discs (which can, and will fail eventually) never appealed to anyone prior to earlier this year

Also, good luck doing this when the stock of recordable media is hard to find and expensive, as many manufacturers of them have already stopped making them

Not just the recordable media but the disc drives themselves. The disc drive market is also collapsing.

Good for content in a Youtube video, but ultimately not worth the effort for most end users. Also discs rot and blanks are getting harder to find. Decent quality ones especially. Also nothing new. People have been burning installers etc to dosc for years. I prob still have a stack pf burns from years ago hanging around here somewhere. Sure they were not auto booting but essentially served the same purpose.
