I hate watching DVD quality videos honestly. I would much rather consoles be able to play videos saved to a USB hdd
Or even a network share

Because it has Firewire and USB 2.0. Firewire connectors on the card are two different sizes. The round port is where you can plug in a Ac adaptor but isn't needed.

So got bored and remembered seeing those pics of the externals hdds you can buy that are made from a SNES or NES cart. I had a spare hdd out of my old PS3 I was going to use on the wii U so I decided to give it a go myself The only cartridge I had that I didn't mind messing up was Rad Racer. It was that of Jeopardy that I got free and I couldn't stand the thought of seeing that label each time I showed someone the drive lol. This was easier than I thought because the drive was very thing but it also worked with a thicker old 80gb drive I had also but was more tight. I also had three different enclosures laying around and I picked the one I have right now because if I decide to use the drive with something else later it has firewire and stuff and it also has a plug for external power so I can safely use it with my Wii U when I get it for Christmas.To trim the inside of the case I simply used a bottom of the line Dremel with a drill bit I had installed in it already lol. I used the PCB board from the external enclosure and just put it on the drive and did a test fit. After trimming the cartridge if fit perfectly with no movement! It's not very professional looking but I like it What do you guys think?
Sorry for the large pics.

I do not know how it will work as far as voice chat but if your tv is like mine it has optical audio out you may be able to plug your headset into that. My turtle beach headset uses optical audio but haven't tested with my wii u since I can't get it till Christmas lol

It needs to have hdmi input and also support lpcm surround sound. I pretty much any re end system with multiple hdmi inputs will provide what you need. I highly suggest going with the one I have linked to. I spent most the day researching and it is the best bang for the buck I could find myself at 249 shipped. I found multiple different systems but almost anything cheaper does not have hdmi inputs.

I'm glad I live in the US. Way to appeal to core gamers Nintendo! They should just move the headquarters I guess they expect people to get up in the middle of the night to download anything huh.They should at least add a feature that will run the download at the set time frame.

Pretty solid reviews all around. Your always going to have people with D.O.A units and negative comments due to just be human in nature. Thanks for the link OP.
^^^ This
I always go off the overall review and have always had good luck doing so. My current system had some negative reviews but I knew with it being a Sony they would stand behind it and it has worked flawlessly for over 5 years My Dad also has an Onkyo system and has bene using it for about 12 years lol. Zero issues with it. The overall review is good and the freeshipping and tax free means it was 249 out the door The sub isn't as powerful as my current one but I am sure it will do lol.

Yeah we are all mad because there is no optical out for our old 5.1 surround systems. BUT I have ordered this and I think it's a great deal for any of you with a little extra money to spend to get a system with 4 HDMI inputs and be able to keep enjoying surround sound http://www.amazon.co...ils_o00_s00_i00 I was going to just buy a new receiver but almost every single one was the wrong ohm rating to work with my speakers and my subwoofer is passive so no upgrading

Some very good opinions here. I there are plenty of tv ads here in the USA. But they focus so much on the game pad that is hard to see what a huge leap this console is from the wii. The 3ds got the same type of feedback from people I work with add the wii u is getting from them. The ps3 and 360 owners when they saw me playing 3ds just thought it was a d's with 3d and still thought you needed glasses. Nobody even knew that the graphics are such a drastic difference that it was almost like a hand held wii. But Yeh I think it will pick up soon. It's just odd that this is the first console launch in recent memory to have systems just sitting on the shelf this early in.. But then again the 3ds had been this way since launch and it doing really well for a handheld. I but this is a console and I guess only time will tell.

So when I bought my Wii U the day before Thanksgiving my local walmart had 3 deluxe systems. Went back on black Friday to pick up some 360 and ps3 games on sale and the two systems that were left after I bought mine were still sitting there. Then tonight at the same walmart there were about 8-10 consoles mostly basics just sitting in the case. I couldn't find a wii or 360 to save my life at launch. I don't think this issues is the systems fault, I think it's marketing. I think to many people assume it's a add on for the wii or something. I was playing my ps vita at work one night and someone asked if it was the new Wii U?!? Seriously?!?!
