There is definitely something I miss about floppy disks, specifically 3.5" diskettes. A download, or sticking a USB drive in, or clicking in an SD card, just is not as satisfying as the *kathhhhhunk* of inserting a diskette. I wish the tech had continued to whatever crazy iteration it could have been by now. 1TB Diskettes? Yes! Want!

Shit, could you imagine PS5 with some sucessor version of diskettes?! That'd be cool AF!

@hellomiakoda I mean Sony really did try to make UMDs a thing

@hellomiakoda fwiw they were planning on releasing a device to play UMD-Video on a TV (the resolution of the video on the disc is higher than the PSP's)
