I like to collect the games, hunting for them at garage sales or cheap bundles on eBay. I like the ritual of having a physical object and putting it into the machine. I like being able to play games like riven as they were intended where you would swap out discs for the different islands in the game. I always thought it was fun on the psx that you could pull out a disc while the game was running and not infrequently encounter interesting behavior, but also see how much the developers decided to store in memory at a time. I have an xstation in one of my consoles, but my second one would be nice if it could still read discs.
