Price is a kick in the teeth. I was expecting £149 which would still have

Don't forget to add £30 for 360 memory card. So the Wii is already £50
cheaper.

Is the production Wii model supporting all the storage methods that were
advertised? On one hand, it's cool that Nintendo wants to use standard
memory cards rather than forcing people to buy priorietary ones. On the
other hand, it's a shame they chose Secure Digital Cards instead of a more
reasonable format.

like what? SD cards are common as muck over here, and cheap as well.
you can get a 1gb SD card for about 12 quid these days.
