I'm suspecting that they'll some kind of encryption.

Some sort of encryption that the whole internet will whine and bitch about until one brave soul cracks it for the rest of the selfish internet.

I hope it won't be something like a hard drive that you connect so it'll end up looking like the HD-DVD attachment for the Xbox 360. I bet it's probably going to be a special designed USB pen and then Nintendo will probably go, "8gb? WHAT IS THAT? JUST MAKE IT 1GB"

And release it like gamecube memory cards?
Let's start with 58 blocks. What? That's not enough? lets try:
256 blocks. Still not enough?
...
and after several iterations, I finally got two 1016 block memory cards just to hold freakin' SAVEDATA.

Nintendo... you guys are marketing assholes. Please just come out with the big data holders now, so i don' t need to spend money getting eight tiny cards, to buy four little cards, to buy two big cards later on.

For Wii, 10GB seems MORE than enough. Since that's 20x the original size.

Lol you would run out of channel slots before you would run out of memory

I'm guessing that Nintendo's solution is to add more channel slots and memory.

 

[sjones900]

yeah but then again it might auto expand like gc memory card slots

I don't see why they don't go the SD route, especially if the use the Secure function, there really hasn't been much work on anything along those lines, they can make it so that only the wii could read the data from the secure section.... (at least until someone cracks it

)

This is an interesting article Nintendo Dabbling in Holographic Storage

I doubt this is their solution.
