If you didn't catch it, my point was that SD cards are neither overly expensive as a device nor dramatically more expensive per Gigabyte than a proprietary hard-drive; but this really isn't the point of the overall argument ...
Harmonix claimed that they NEEDED a hard-drive in order to provide downloadable content for the Wii; being that we have already demonstrated that the Wii supports SD cards, the storage available from an inexpensive SD card is more than adequate for Rock-Band, and Harmonix can use this storage space in game, one can conclude that their excuse is not correct and that they're lying.
In other words, the lack of online support and downloadable content in Rock Band is not because of any problem with the Wii it isn't there because Harmonix didn't want to put it in their half-assed port; you/they may dislike Nintendo's options for providing online support, and you/they may dislike using SD cards for downloadable content but that doesn't mean that it is impossible to provide either using the Wii. In general EA assumed the Wii wouldn't be popular enough to support Rock Band and/or that users didn't want games like this for the Wii and when Guitar Hero 3 proved their assumptions wrong they were caught with their pants down and they decided to do a port of an undesireable version of the game; when (potential) users complained Harmonix decided to shift blame away from themselves and towards Nintendo.
