Would probably mean a small startup lag for games, as it'll take a little bit to mount the title to the SSD, but it'd be worth it.

That being said, as pointed out, there's no realistic way they can ship just an SSD.
Obviously not, way too expensive, but I like your idea.

I have had HDDs fail on me before, and it's the worst.
