1) are the Wii branded SD cards and the regular SD cards the same in functionality?

2) i bought the 1 gig wii brand one at best buy for $59.99 but I havent opened it yet. Ive seen 2 gig SDs for 20 bucks online. Do the regular ones save game saves, VC games and such?

3)can I save one of my wii game data on my sd card, go to my friends wii and load my warioware data? or is it limited like VC?

4) have any of yall emailed yourself and then reply to yourself from your computer but never get the message on your wii?

Sandisk make some of the best memory cards, wherever you heard they suck probably haven't used one. Most SD cards are the same, you can find some no name inexpensive cards that do the same exact thing as a Sandisk or Lexar card.

You can copy data onto an SD card and put it onto your friend's Wii no problem.

for the third one he means game saves, not VC games, like say both him and his friend have Zelda TP and he wants to put his save data on the other wii...does that work?

I'm using a 2G Sandisk and it works fine for me.

Wii branded SD cards is the same as any regular SD card.  You're just paying an extra $10 or so just for the branding.

Kingston and SanDisk SD Cards are the way to go.  1gb Kingston SD card can be as cheap as $20 if you know where to look.

You gotta love companies that make cheaper stuff, that does the same thing as the big-guy stuff.
