Good luck with that in the spring.I got a job so i could afford it, but if i get the 3DS as well i might wait. Im the type of guy who likes to see the hardware in action before i empty my wallet. So it will probably be two months before i buy it from launch at earliest.

Not confusing anything.. SSD technology expires and its off, in the trash bin, specific number of write and formats. Old HDD technology, may last forever, it may not.. My concern about the new gen of consoles and especially wii U, is the online digital distribution. For those who fancy that, its stupid to look into a small capacity HDD, considering that many games may be 10-15-20gb each... So I believe half tb or minimum 320gb, is a must for wii U.. If you dont want to change hdd in the distant feature.
I think wii U will not have hdd at all! It will come with a flash memory for the saves, but no hdd.. We have to purchase that separately. I dont like the usb connectivity with HDD, I would prefer it to be hot swap (inside wii U)... The reason I dont like usb connectivity, is the problems they occur during file transfer (via usb connection), due to low voltage.. Its a very known problem in the PC... I hope nintendo will have a solution to that, especially if people run games through it!! (if wii U comes with an internal hdd attached, it would be nice.. Or else I believe we mu have the option for hotswap, not usb) Or at least HDD dock, as many pc cases have... it would be nice
I give u an example, if you connect a hard disk, and try make a huge file transfer, not just a couple of photos, lets say 2gb file... It will reset communication in a point and the file transfer will fail.
Also if you try to run a movie, through a hdd who is connected via usb, it conflicts again... There is in newer motherboards, high voltage usb ports, who dont have this problem, what about wii U... Usb ports are good for cameras, mouse, keyboard, etc.
Agree that HDD's are going to be necessary.
I wish Ninty would go with USB 3.0 though.

None at the moment. 
We have some trips we need to save up for - but I still plan on getting Wii U when possible.

Oh, you mean it's got a limited read/write cycle.Not confusing anything.. SSD technology expires and its off, in the trash bin, specific number of write and formats
It'll take you many decades to reach the (It's usually 1million or more r/w cycles) limit.

As an adult you MIGHT get a video game. It just depends who you are. My 24 year old friend gets video games sometimes. He loves tech he built an awesome computer from scratch for fun.

I'm that kind of guy who always spends my money when I get it, so zero dollars for me. I do have 60 dollars, but I'm planning on getting an Ocarina with that money. Or, I could always ask for some money for my birthday.

I don't think I'm getting one at launch as planned. I did buy the PS3 and the Vita, and I like both since the games draw me in. I haven't been so up to date with the 3DS, the latest game being Kid Icarus, and the two before that being Mario Kart 7 and Resident Evil Revelations.
I was hoping the Wii U would come out much earlier. I was originally planning to use it as a Case Study at the end stretch of the year. I'm guessing that is out of the window. I mean, I could do it, but then I'll have to cram a lot of work into a small period of time. Pretty much all of the assignments I have until October-ish have been finished or at least the groundwork is done.
Oh well, when I have money... or... *places bets*
