The title hopefully gets the idea across, but more or less:
(A) What are ideas you've dreamed up that could improve the experience in games you play, whether it's about tech, interface, or gameplay systems? The wider-reaching the improvement, the better. Are there likely trade-offs to your idea? Have you seen it attempted before, but never popularized?
Just as importantly, (B) if you see an idea you have a strong reaction to (good or bad), chime in! As always, be polite and constructive, but don't be afraid to spell out why something wouldn't work, or ways it's already used. Hell, if it seems particularly insightful, share it!

So as an example, this came to mind as I was consolidating some install files between drives the other day:
Could you significantly cut down load-times in console games by having parallel/redundant installs on both the internal and external hard drive? I'm making a mental connection with disc mirroring and RAID 1; The idea being you would have access to the full speed of each hard drive, working in tandem to pull different segments of the full data call. The obvious caveat is the cost to the consumer. The way I'm imagining it, it's pretty key that the feature be truly plug-and-play, so you could add or remove that external drive between sessions without causing issues.
