Well someone just provided a newegg link for one that is for under $110.  So I assume that you can get almost any 2 TB external for under 80 in about 2 years at most.


Damn I got my 2TB for 80bucks ... but that was before the flood which killed most of the HDD factories :(
so yeah it will go there someday ... hopefully sooner than later.

Yea, I am sure you can find one under 80 this holiday season on sale somewhere.  If you were to just buy one without looking around much you probably wouldn't drop more than 100-120.  I was just trying to say the overall price will drop within a year or two due to not being a proprietary storage.  I don't remember too many complaints about the people that bought 360 Arcades and having to drop a lot of money for a few GB if they wanted to upgrade their storage space.  Even now they have 360 250GB hard drives on Amazon for 90 dollars (with a 40 dollar savings).

i remember a lot of threads to be honest.  i posted in several of them.  my personal fav was the lastest version of forza (at the time) releasing with a second disk of required install which was larger than the 4gb of the arcade.

i'm not faulting nintendo for allowing easy to upgrade external drives. i love that on ps3 and i love that for wiiU. all the same, buying an external hardrive is just a required for wiiU as the memory cards are for ps vita which adds to the real cost of ownership.
