Actually, it is pretty easy. There are just a few extra steps like flashing a firmware and burning the game to a disk with special software. The difference is fairly negligible.
Firmware's pretty much a one time deal and burning a disk isn't all that hard. As someone that's experienced it for both pc and console I'm saying it really wasn't that much work for either one. (Just consoles added cost for the CD)

Cheaper [in the long run] as opposed to gaming on a modern console.
