But isn't the whole point to play a burned copy of the game?
This seems like scalping concert tickets to a concert that allows you to copy tickets in the printer.

No, the legit copy of the game allows you to play pirated copies of other games. It bypasses the piracy check in the console and allows you to swap discs to a pirated copy of whatever other game you want.

Loads emulator and laughs.

While I agree, there are entire communities built around retro consoles. But that also means legit copies of retro games can be difficult to come by.

Sure, but at these prices, it's less expensive to get a modded PS1.
