So why don't they just update the firmware to allow you to play off sd or usb hdd. That would make everybody happy.

Cause thats $100 less profit for them. Instead they'll sell you the same usb hdd, but with a 300% markup.

But they said they wanted to keep it simple with as little perepherials as possible.

 I don't know what Nintendo has said exactly (link?) but how does them supplying their own White cased, Wii branded usb hdd require any more perepherials than you buying a generic one from elsewhere?
