I believe all Fedora releases should have a few things in common, one of them being the kernel.

bundled with graphics card drivers (many which are only available after you try to play a game, quite annoying) and a myriad of popular games,

Graphic drivers, like proprietary nvidia and ati? Those can't be bundled due to their license and also they are outside of Fedora's philosophy - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ForbiddenItems#head-480f1c231662c4279ebc75f7298db407ee0a5593

all of which should fit on a DVD. remember, DVD's are frequently double-sided and dual layered, giving you at least twice the storage space.

Consider the space needed on the mirrors to carry all those customized Fedora versions, is highly probable such an image would be ignored by mirrors and have to be distributed only by BitTorrent. Also remember those dual layer media are much expensive compared with standard blank DVD and not all writers can use them.
