but in addition to the capacity expanding add ons inside the cart.. you also had virtually no load times.

I wish the advent of large scale flash storage would herald the return of carts, since they can be even bigger than blu-rays now, and on top of that all the crazy stuff you could do with them.

I miss sticking carts in carts.

i miss consoles that you could add other consoles to.

I miss the weird, wacky ingeniusness of it all.

Now consoles are just desktop PCs with DRM.
