Practically nobody's going to do regular SSD swaps on their PS5s, I bet. What happens in 30 years when you take your PS5 out of storage and the SSD's lost everything (because they do that, y'know), not just your games and save data but the OS even?

@IceWolf Someone is gonna rip and archive everything because no one cares about preservation anymore
I'll be playing my PS5 games on some future quantum handheld thing
