If PS5 has full backwards compat will you start a retro collection of disks?

does Resetera think PS5 will be backward compatible with PS1/PS2/PS3 games, even if it's just digital? someone less lazy than me should get a poll going.
Every time I have ever done this, I get sick of it and realise there are better ways to satisfy my nostalgia than collecting old discs and plastic cases. Especially now so many of my favourite PS1 games have been remade or re-released digitally.
Same here. I don't have to start a collection if I already have one!
I've got a ton of PS1 and PS2 games. I probably have more disc based and digital PS3 games than I do for any other single system. I've also got a PS3, PS2 and hacked PS Classic hooked up in my living room still. We still play those games. I'd love the opportunity to put all that stuff away, including the PS4, and not lose my ability to play all those games, and play them all with a wireless controller, and never worry about memory card storage.
I also have 50+ PS1 games installed on the PS3. I hope hope hope those carry over too.

To be fair, those systems were very recent at the time. That would be comparable to PS4 games skyrocketing in price because the PS5 could play them. It doesn't happen so quickly.
I'm in the UK and I'd never collect 50hz discs again, no thank you. That basically just means PS3 and PS4, which I still have a sizeable backlog from.
Could import a few PS1 & 2 games but as said in the OP, I imagine the prices are gonna skyrocket, even before I factor in customs.
Hopefully companies will be quick to bring their back catalogue over digitally at 60hz worldwide but I have my doubts.

PS1 games aren't that overpriced. And PS2 games are dirt cheap bar a few exceptions.
I would like too, but if I can do the same digitally (especially with my PS1 classics on PS3) I would love too!
I'd really appreciate Some sort of initiative to let us digitize some of these old games on discs. Even if it involved some fee.
Yup, count me in this boat too.
Out of curiosity, where did this rumor of total Playstation BC come from? I've heard it several times now, and I don't think I ever saw the origin point.
Already started, my Raystorm and R-TYPE Delta disks are all ready to roll if the retro BC is real.
Nah. I have no interest playing old games, especially pre-PS3, and even if I did end up playing a few, I'd go digital if given the option as the file sizes would be small.
Yeah. I've got tons of game boxes sitting in storage bins that sit in a closet. I largely think excessive game discs looks tacky in most living room displays, too. That closet space could better be used for other things.
for my PS3 stuff it would be nice to have the disc BC but i'm not too worried about it with PS1/2 unless there are certain titles that they don't have digitally.
SMT Nocturne is a good example.

I would love that. I never trade my games, so I have all PS2 and PS3 Hard Copies at home. WOULD LOVE to play them again with up conversion and all.
But I am MASSIVE trophies fan. So it'll suck that I won't get anything out of them. Still fun to play them though. :)
I mean, I already do have a ton of back discs for PS consoles, so it wouldn't really be STARTING a collection.
I just don't keep them all in my house. Most of them are in storage or at my parents' place.

START? Hah. Hundreds of games are waiting.
I still have my PS2 hooked up. I wish they'd make it play discs. I'm hoping. We'll see, though.

But, thinking about this. It might finally get me to do the one thing I never did...
Organize my PS1/PS2 Memory cards.
After my PS3 died and I lost all my PS2 saves on it, I never re-organized my memory cards. It was a mess figuring out which game save was where.

No. I don't have any interest in playing PS1/2/3 games in their original form and I doubt that a disk based approach would work for anything else, like rendering them in 4K at least. And if you'd still need to download the bulk of the game then it's easier to just get it in PS store.
I already have a sizable collection. However, I'd rather they also release PS1,2,3 and 4 games to purchase on the PS Store. That's the dream anyway
