Good old Nintendo, always at least 5 years behind the curve. 8GB is like a sad joke. My fucking phone has more capacity than that. OP, buy both, swap the guts, sell the black 8GB. I also want a white one to match my Wii, so I may very well do the same. |

I was expecting this to be about faux stereotypes, like the black Wii being bigger. How disappointing. Oh wait, now it is :D |

You can get USB drives or SD cards of that size for pretty cheap. When the competition has 250GB or more hard drives on the market right now, putting out a console with 8 GB is ridiculous. Not to mention, they are pushing all of this digital content including movies and tv shows. How are people supposed to spend all those wii points on games they can't even store? And they don't have any kind of account system, so deleting or keeping track of what you have downloaded is a pain. Obviously the virtual console games aren't huge, but if the system can support larger and more expansive games then the download sizes will only get bigger. |

I want a white console, but apparently if you get the white you must get the 8gb memory WTF? And if you want the black you MUST buy the $350 32gb memory? --- End quote --- the issue is more the stands, charger and the pack in game. The drive space is expanded via SD cards, usb keys and external usb harddrives (according to nintendo). So get what you want and then buy yourself a 32gb usb key. |
