Yep,I'm almost out of space.Not sure why Nintendo is so adamant against a hard drive...VGobbsesser
Because hard drives simply arent necessary. They will be costly to produce for Nintendo, costly to buy for us, it almosts cheats Wii owners because it will bump up the price of the console, and it doesnt have mass appeal.
The only thing Ninty really need to consider is expanded SD card functionality. Maybe some kind of Memory Card Channel that allows you to browse extra content and folders (ie WiiWare folder, SNES VC Folder, Guitar Hero 4 DLC Folder) more easily, and actually load stuff straight off of the card.
Then, add a "download to card" function in the Shop Channel yourself, and you are away. A programme that grabs and runs files from a card is much easier and cheaper than a hard drive.
I dont like Nintendo's current solution of redownloading everything. Im sorry Jaysonguy, but its fiddly, irritating and not very user friendly, especially when you have a lot of downloads.
Im willing to bet that Nintendo planned better functionality in the first place, but for some reason never got around to it.
