Makes perfect sense that someone would want to release these in physical form; clearly there is still plenty of interest. All of the hard work is done, THANKS to Andy and George and Co. How wonderful to see the fruits of their love and labor on a shiny disc. To hold their beautiful, lush booklets in your hand.
While some have considered these just "expanded releases", I'd go out on a limb to say that some, myself included, looked at these as collector's items. Some were presented as "limited edition"; wouldn't it be absoluely supreme to be able to continue the series we've all been diligently amassing for over a decade now?
Think of it like this: Franklin Mint starts a collection of Presdental plates. They're gorgeous. Fine china. Half way through; maybe when they get to President Kennedy, they decide; you know what? From now on, we're just going to create a sticker that you can download, and you can adhere it to a Chinet paper plate. Sure it serves the same purpose, BUT WE DESERVE FINE CHINA!
