Apr 4, 2022 at 14:11 comment added Kidburla watching it again I still think it's just a cartridge even though it's not clear from the scene. but (a) it has a flap above it which needs to be closed prior to starting the link, which would be pointless if it was a separate device, (b) the colour scheme exactly matches the nerve gear colour scheme. having said that, I doubt the cartridge contains the entire SAO game data. it's probably just a license and some kind of client. if SAO is a cloud streamed game, the client itself could be absolutely tiny and fit on there, otherwise the cartridge may just contain a downloader for the full client.

OP was probably just misinterpreting the scene, seeing as even though Kirito had the game (due to priority shipping being a Beta Tester) he still had to wait for the game's servers to go live.
