I have two of the wii rockband cd’s and i just don’t like buying their cd’s because switching them back and forth just seems ridiculous “oh i want to play this song, hang on just wait it’s on the other cd lets finish playing these ones first” how lame on a hard drive you can just skim through them all. I don’t like buying the CD’s either because half the songs on there you never like, at least if you could download them you were only paying for and getting what you liked so you wouldn’t have to skim through all the crappy songs on your wii.

Patiently waiting…

i rather have guitar hero 3 guitar compatibility than an external hard drive and over pay for a song pack.. think about ddr, it’s cheaper to buy another version of the game than buying the whole contenet.. song by song

just think about it.. 5 or 10 dolars for a song pack ? what about $30 dollars for a rock band 2 disc full of new songs !!

Do I think that not having a hard-drive is the real reason Harmonix isn’t offering us any on-line content? NO…

Harmonix is a half-arsed development studio that just wants a cheap lazy piece of crap port to throw onto the Wii to squeeze a few extra bucks out of their game… the fact that they aren’t dropping the price even 10 or 20 bucks is more then enough evidence for me. I sincerely hope we all stay away from buying this game and refuse to reward their pathetic attempt. This is like a slap in the face, basically telling all the Wii owners that they think we are nothing more than pop-culture retards with deep pockets.

Please do not buy this game. If you receive it as a gift, please return it to the store! As loyal Nintendo Wii owners and fans, we need to buy the good games to reward those developers and give them confidence that they can make a profit releasing original titles (i.e. No More Heroes, Zack & Wiki), and boycott the bad games so that the greedy short-cut taking developers realize that we won’t accept anything but their best.

This is not to mention that fact that many people’s wii hds are probably already full. Mine is about 98% full from virtual console games. Whenever I get anything new I have to delete something else right away. It’s safe to say I won’t be investing any more money in VC or WiiWare without a new hard drive as I don’t want to delete things I paid for from my system.

Nintendos greatest flaw with the wii was probably the lack of a real hd. Even a small 10 or 20 gb hd would have sufficed. How much do these cost to buy in stores? like $15 us?!? Seriously. Perhap their mini version would run like $30 or $40 but I would have gladly paid $300 for my wii rather than $250 if it came with a hard drive, even a small one.

If they do make an external hd many will be quick to adopt it, and it will be really great because I can d/l wiiware when it comes out, and then games like guitarhero and rockband may offer downloadable content (too late for rock band).

I love the wii, but a great benefit of ps3 (dunno about 360) over the wii is that with the HD you can download patches for games. This fixes bugs, adds content, and much more. For example, activision wouldn’t have had to make new guitar hero discs because they could have easily offered a patch. Or if there was a wii hd built in and DLC wasnt there they could easily add it. But I think it is too late now.

It’s really insane that nintendo ever planned to offer a console marketing so much on downloading games like virtual console and wiiware knowing full well that the wii does not have enough space for these games and that the sd card is virtually useless.

Also the Rock Band downloadable stuff isnt a SCAM. They have a large number of songs in the game and they are working constantly to make more that they are offering for you to buy if you WANT. It’s not like these were ready since the original game release. And I highly doubt they can fit on a standard dvd… or even a dual layer (please no more read errors). Even if they could would you rather rock band never comes out or releases a new edition update every few months in stores with all the latest tracks???? The whole point is that this is post production additional content, and you arnt supposed to buy every song – just the ones you like, if you dont like any you dont buy any. How is that a SCAM? I do agree that the SD card could be possible, however, a hard drive would have been better (To begin with)

Or if you must continue this scam, let me introduce you to a little thing called an SD card.

Sorry for that kinda monney i’ll buy another Wii/MK:Wii pack and have a VS mach on my network…

They can use the SD card don’t they it can stream MP3′s so i tink it can be used to store DLC and transport that to the main memmory of the console…

I think the Wii has more than enough room to play games if you buy mutch Wii ware and VC games you are full verry fast but for the lot of the Wii users the 512 MB intern is no problem…

I would like a HD though but that maks the Wii more vunable to hacking and Pirates…

What nintendo needs to do is have harmonix’s make a brand new exclusive game for the Wii. Have them Bring back Daigasso! Band brothers and guitar hero-fy it.

Have the game with only songs from nintendo. Have the guitars and Drums (leave out the mic) Put 100+ nintendo game songs from all over the nintendo universe.

Yes Wii Music might be good. But to have Guitar hero Mixed with nintendo would be 1000x better In my mind.

Look at acouple examples of what Guitar hero with nintendo would look like

Even the songs that don’t have a guitar or drums in them.The song could be Made into a guitar beat Or Keep the same. EITHER WAY the game would rule.

WHY HAVEN’T YOU THOUGH OF THIS NINTENDO
