That's a whole lot of disks

I went as far as setting up a home server to host a load of ripped media, it's definitely worth it. I've got my own netflix and Spotify wrapped up into one service I don't even need a subscription fee to use. The main problem is that most of my favourite music is released as singles on YouTube rather than physical album releases so I still have to manually change the metadata to upload it.

I'd say that's a good idea for them to offer it, but also USB sticks can't hold the data over as long a time as other media. SD cards are a nice compromise but a little more expensive, you probably knew all of this, so don't mind me.

I agree! Just clone Nintendo's clamshell boxes with a game on a personalized sd card and more space for manuals, posters and stuff. I think a good approach is to move forward.
