xbox one just implemented preloading and the vita doesnt even 'really' have preloading, so that's nice coming from nintendo. but all i want is a real account system ffs.
+2tb drives will later be recognized by the console through a firmware patch, so thats only a temporary solution (though im not sure if all will be recognized)
the wii u's from early/spring 2013 will have the updated included. unless you really want it for christmas, you should maybe wait.

although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
