Switch games still use physical cartriges (...SD cards) and it's pretty rad tbh.

I mean... On PC you could grab a bunch of blue rays, burn game files onto them, and then mount them as storage drives whenever you wanted to run a particular game.

But why would you do that? Why would you prefer your game library be stored that way?

Even with my PS Vita, the second that hacked firmware enabled using an SD card adaptor and dumping all my games, and just having them all installed all the time, that's what I did.

I was livid that the cost of digital copies and the memory cards was artificially blown up so badly, that the most "economical" way to bring a bunch of games with me was 30 storage cards instead of one big one.

Really want Gravity Rush on PC. More people need to know about that fantastic game.

I still haven't played it yet, but I have it installed ready to play

SD Express should help with this once it's more production-ready, as in theory it supports read speeds of 800MB/s. The highest-end 'regular' SD cards are around 230MB/s.

For systems that need faster speeds, I wonder if we'll ever see cartridges with an M.2 2230 NVMe drive in them, I guess kinda similar to the storage cards for the Xbox Series. Maybe when the price comes down.
