#2Is this just a guise to get people to hand over their contact information? So it can be linked and associated with a GitHub profile?
It's presented as an official Microsoft product (the link), but it's just a random public-facing form hosted on Microsoft Forms from Joe Schmoe.

I was suspicious too, but it does seem legitimate. They're making fun of the PlayStation going digital-only for games thing.

Elaborate? It seems like a fun joke making light of Sony’s announcement this week.

#7For those that missed it, Sony announced that Playstation will no longer support physical media. This is Microsoft ribbing them.

#9> Supplies are limited, and the first 1,000 eligible submissions will receive one. Limit one per person. Availability may be limited by country or region.
This seems quite limited to be a real product, but also quite a lot for seemingly what’s just a joke to mock Sony for ceasing blu-ray production.
It’s worth mentioning that github does (did?) do some cool stuff with physical media archiving of code like the arctic project [1], but these CDs are burned, not pressed so they’ll only last around 10 years

#10Awesome! It is indeed a marvelous merchandize concept! An effortful work of ingenious ideas and great history... sealed in a iridescent CD and signed by a supportive holder of it on public...
Thank you, for an awesome, relatively ingenious idea to preserve the history and highlight its significance in a human history, the love for discoveries and cooperation...
I love it...
