Yeah, this is great and all…the only problem is that we don’t get to pick the songs and they are very very limited. What about the tons of songs that are already available that we don’t get? I like the idea someone mentioned previously where you get the songs on your computer and transfer them to an sd card which you would then put in the console. This seems more practical to me…

okay …. IM SOO PISSED

I brought the Wii RockBand ! sooo happily !
next thing I know … you cant download, cant customize, cant travel the world
&(#%*&HITG()T(A(JIG$*)UTS)*$&^*@_ !!!!

I WAS SOOO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS GAME
I kept it, its fun at times
but you cant beat the originality of the PS3 or 360 versions
you cant beat the fact you can play RHCP songs
wwwwhhhhyyyyyy !?!?!! why is it soo gay !?

please people of Nintendo and Harmonix
I beg of you to either enable dowloading
or create more expansion disks
or you can lower the price, maybe Ill just get a PS3
but please… .DO SOMETHING !!
thanks =) I still love my Wii though xD

this is a really good idea, but think about it… is 512 MB of space enough on the Wii? I don’t think so. I heard that Harmonix told Nintendo that they need some kind of external hard drive to make the downloadable content work well. Right now on my Wii I have all of my blocks filled on the Wii Menu, 7 blocks of space left and still about 50 other games on my SD Card. We need something. Maybe if Nintendo gets enough complaints they will do something. I have already complained, BTW my Wii code is 5911-6521-8982-2709 if u add me leave a reply

I’m so glad they are doing this, although wii and ps2 owners will not have a choice in specifically what songs they want. But at least you can add to your set list.

I can’t help but wonder why they don’t just put up a website where you can download the file using your computer, and then transfer that file to your SD card… and upon the first time playing that song, it would record your Wii’s friend code… and from there on, it could be played off of the SD card only by the Wii that initially played it… that would prevent piracy, and allow easy downloading by simply bypassing the Wii as the downloading factor. If they made the website completely compatable with the Opera browser, you could maybe even download to your SD card using the Wii’s internet channel. Does this all just seem not possible? am I missing something? None the less, I’m glad Rockband developers are getting off their lazy keisters and trying to solve this problem instead of just giving us a lame PS2 port like it seemed to be early on. I was raging earlier one when they said it would be the same price as 360 and PS3′s but with less content… less content = lower price! common sense. Okay, sorry, I tend to get ranty on this game.

@Apollo!
I think the game works like a memory card almost. It takes the info on the disk and transfers it to the wii. Hey then the people with crappy internet can have more songs! yay for us!

Oh, that’s cool. But how is it “downloaded” to the Wii?
