My thoughts on the Wii

I've had to buy 2 classic controllers, 2 gamecube controllers and a gamecube memory card in addition to all the Wii contollers to be able to play everything on the Wii with two players.

On the other hand, just need two PS3 controllers for the PS3/PS2/PS1/PSN games on the PS3 and no need to buy anything else to save.

You didn't need to buy classic controllers. Anything you can do with a classic controller, you can do with a Gamecube controller, except for the left 'z' button on the classic controller, which no one has used anyway.

Of course, me being the good little fanboy I am, I didn't need to buy anything extra 'cause I already had a Gamecube, 4 controllers, and two of the 1019 block memory cards.

On the other hand, save games and SD card usage is my biggest complaint about the Wii. It's silly that you can only use an SD card to backup saves and VC games, instead of using it as primary storage. A real simple thing to do would be a setting in the Wii where the SD card is the primary device, and the internal memory is backup. That way, it would be transparent to Wii software, as to where the games are actually being saved.
