The Wii will need an external HDD if they are serious about their claim that we'll be able to download game demos.
SD cards won't keep pace and if I recall correctly, the Wii only supports up to a 4G card (despite many people having succes with the 8G cards out now).
The big question is, what will our 2 (and only 2) USB ports be used for?
Well one is the wired LAN adapter. My guess would be the other being an official play-n-charge type kit from Nintendo.Quote:

The Wii is turning out to be such a big piece of crap.
Are you telling me this thing cant even play DVDs?Quote:

Wow.
So much for getting a Wii.
IIRC, you only have to buy that LAN adaptor if you lack/dislike wireless, and a function to play DVDs would have made the console cost more. Besides, you have a computer on which you can play DVDs, no? =p
With online play or not, it's getting more money than Microsoft and Sony on video games market.Quote:
