I don't know about download speeds but going digital only... on 32gigs? Have fun.

I have an external hard drive '-'.

Good answer!  I don't understand why people just don't get it.

People shouldn't have to buy extras such as external hardrives to take advantage of the product they spent hundreds on. But if it's no problem for the OP then more power to him

...and if you don't buy a lot of digital, then you don't need to buy an external hard drive.  Why should everyone that purchases a Wii U have to pay for a hard drive when only a small percent of the owners will use it?  MS in the past has typically charged $100 extra for their hard drive models over the non hard drive models.  Even now, they have a 4GB Flash and a 250/320GB hard drive model.  The hard drive models cost $100 more.  You can pick up a 1TB external for about $60.  So, again, where's the problem other than people just love to hate on Nintendo?
