I agree, the 512MB of storage does not good DLC make.

I'm fine with the Track Packs, thank you very much.

My sister just got a Wii and I noticed that it had an SD card slot on it. Can't you just download it to that? They make them in gigs and I doubt these Rock Band songs are in a uncompressed file format.

Oh, I wish. You can copy files to the SD card, but can't run anything from it. Channels and DLC can only be executed from the Wii's internal memory.

If you have only 3 vc games and are almost out of room, something is up with your Wii. I have around 10 and still have space left.

Might want to do a bit of research before complaining. With both Rock Band 2 and GHWT you can save DLC to the SD card. You do however need enough space in the Wii internal memory to hold at least one song as the song is copied from the memory card to the internal memory when it is selected.

So no, you can't run the file directly from the card...but it can be used to store all the DLC and the individual songs will be copied to the internal memory as needed (and deleted automatically).

Oh! I'm sorry for the misinformation...

Maybe someone in this thread can help me...

i downloaded some RB2 DLC songs, then ran out of room on my wii. i copied the songs to my sd card so that i could delete the data on my wii and clear up more room to download more songs. the thing is, when i try to copy the second set of songs from my wii to my sd card, it says the file already exists (because, of course, the data is called the same thing for both sets of downloaded songs - "Rock Band 2 DLC").

is there a way to download songs straight to my sd card? or, perhaps, a way to combine the data files? or will i have to save the two sets of DLC data on different sd cards, and switch cards when i want to play the other set of DLC songs?

i'm not even sure if any of my questions make sense...but thank you!!
