That's a bummer that you need an external to do gamesaves. Would I be able to use a flashdrive to store saves?

You do know that you can save games on the internal flash drive storage. As for external options a hard drive will work. As for an external flash drive it may well work but its not been confirmed to my knowledge.

I'm aware of that but seeing as my 8GB will be reduced to 4.2 GB due to the Wii U operating system and the account data, etc. I guess I jumped the gun because I had just went out and brought a 32 GB class 10 SD that I was intending to use to make up for the lack of space in the internal drive. It's kind of a set back now because I have to go out and buy an external just to be able to save my game data. Makes no sense as to why they would do this. My only conclusion would be to prevent hacked gamesaves.

I know that feel, I bought a 32GB class 10.
...And another for my 3DS.

Did some kafoodeling with my external hard drives and cleared out the 500GB for my wii u though.
Was using it for torrenting, but using a smaller drive for that now.

That site still functions for you? Seems like they're taking down all the download links.

What site?

I don't remember referencing a website in my post.

Last I heard, you could use SD cards for save data and stuff, you just couldn't install full games onto them?

I'm getting me a 500GB Hard Drive at some point, my 32 or 28 gigs will be enough (for now) as for voice chat in games it doesn't really bother me too much at all, I've never really used it with other consoles, plus this voice chat problem theoreticaly could be solved in an update.

That's honestly what I was thinking, it's 2012 - why is a "missing headphone jack" even being considered a problem? I've been using a wireless ear piece for like 5 years.
PDP already stated their wireless headset works on the Wii U. Forget plugging in guys.. just go wireless and forget about it.

I think there wired one works as well at least is shows it on the box, looking at the instructions that came with it I would assume that it plugs into the USB cause that's what it does with the others.

Never heard of it. I use private trackers for stuff.
Only tv and movies too.
