It was a transparent attempt, but it's worth responding to the thread in a positive way so that other people who read it will realize that 512MB is not any more a problem for the Wii than 120GB is a problem for the Xbox 360 elite. For ever rare Wii owner who has eclipsed the 512MB mark, there is probably an elite owner who hasn't yet gotten the RROD who has eclipsed the 120GB mark. Space is not unlimited and has to be managed. Especially on consoles where companies will cut corners to save money in every way possible (look at the 360 premium or the PS3 40GB -- they both have absolutely tiny drives to store HD movies with. With a 20GB drive, you'll literally get to watch one, then you'll have to delete it and redownload it later if you want to see it again. I'd consider my 360 to be far more space constrained than my Wii simply because the 360 tries to be a media center and fails miserably for lack of space. |
First of all...are you talking about full length movies? In 720p they are about 3 gigs on xbox live so you could download 3 or 4 no problem.
Also, you can't "buy" them. All of them are 24 hour rentals...so they are gone in 24 hours anyway.
Otherwise, yeah, one needs to manage data on any system. That is however done much faster and more efficient on the 360 and ps3 and needs to be done much less often.
Sometimes I turn my wii on and I don't really know what I want to play...and I'm jsut surfing through Wii-channels. The games on the SD card don't show up so basically they are removed from my choices when I'm browsing my games. I forgot I had Splaterhouse and almost bought it again...
