Rock Band dev asks for Wii hard drive for downloadable content |

Harmonix's Rob Kay, the lead designer of Rock Band (Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3,Nintendo Wii), has come out and said that they want Nintendo to release a hard drive so they can provide downloadable content for the Wii version of the game.Kay pointed out that "if the platform could do it, we'd jump on it." He added that they've been championing this issue to Nintendo and that the lack of a hard drive is "the reason there's no DLC in Wii Rock Band."
A previous statement from Nintendo of America made clear that it feels that that there is no need for a Wii hard drive. Well, certain developers certainly don't think so, and we're pretty sure that those who plan on picking up Rock Band for the Wii will probably agree. What do you think?

The petition is there so that us Wii owners can hopefully get a hard drive add-on.
The Wii exists, is outselling the competition by a landslide, and has as many enjoyable games as any other console. Therefore, it is a real system. So, instead of saying 'real', why not say "a system that has a lot of power, but ironically only gets as good or worse games than the console I'm jealous of; the Nintendo Wii"?
You're probably right about the price, I concede; $400 is about £200 over in the UK, where I live, so I'd expect a, say, 20GB HDD bundled Wii to cost around £30-£35, or $60-$70 extra.
Lastly, I have a perfectly valid question for you: why, when you are clearly a Microsoft/Sony fanboy, do you visit the Nintendo pages of QJ and post your mindless drivel? I can't stand fanboys like you. For that matter, ANY fanboys, be it Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo, are sad. There's nothing wrong with liking a console/company, or even disliking another, but when morons like you post your crap purely to annoy or insult others (i.e. Nintendo or Nintendo console owners), it really is sad. I think I speak for all Nintendo fans when I say: I pity you. And you're a moron.

While you would miss out on being able to buy very specific songs on a song by song basis you would also save money on a per song basis by having SONG DISCS sold as an add on to the game.
I'm sure if everyone thought for a second instead of ranting like a child such as Mr. Nonsense that people could come up with perfectly acceptable alternatives.
This truly is no big deal. In the end if you don't like the solution then don't buy it.....

Well, these are all just thoughts. We'll see what happens concerning WiiWare and that Wii P2P service in the future. (along with future MCS rants)
