Best Buy has a $40 500GB on sale Black FridayWhile we're on the topic, could anyone direct me to a low price, good quality 1TB hard drive I can use for WiiU?

This system is going to cost a fortune just in separate add ons

Don't you guys partition?
Not for me.
Im implying that they do not care. If they wanted those features, theyd have them to match the 360. Clearly Nintendo is banking on the Wii U being your streaming box for other services like netflix and hulu.
It can be affordable when ya don't buy anything at all

I think only in store.Ooh, I think that would do me fine. The deal will be online too, yes?
Is there an installation feature for discs?

Useless unless you buy an enclosure for it, and that may largely negate the savings over a $90 drive. And be bulkier.
That's not an external hard drive.
Aww
I don't want to go out in BF craziness for a hard drive. :/
Isn't the disc drive supposed to be extremely fast? Some 22mb/s I thought I read somewhere. So that being said, read speeds from the disc might actually be just as fast or faster than USB (at optimum speeds)
Not that has been discussed.
It's only a little over twice the sale price to get it at 1 TB. That little extra over could be seen as the "avoid black friday crowds" fee.Aww

Crowds normally clear out from best buy by 12pm. At least in my experience as a worker and a shopper.

i'd just check amazon.com tbh.

and most come for the tv and laptops.

What a neat thread.
Thank you so much for informing us how hard-drives work.
Noise and wear and tear are reasons for installation beyond loading/speed.
Guess it isn't necessary but it would be a nice feature.
Yeah. Stuff like external HDDs normally stay around in stock.and most come for the tv and laptops.
No one is stopping you from buying the biggest hdd around and using it to store the potential array of video files that Nintendo will potentially support with their potential video player.Moar: Nintendo has OBVIOUSLY never been concerned with "What the other guys are doing."
This is not true; what do you think the point of SMART is? What do you think happens when you get a bad block but the hard drive otherwise works fine? Even on the most naive level, what kind of indication do you think a mechanical click is? How do you account for all the cases of "dead" hard drives where people manage to spin them up and get some, but not all of their data off the drive?
Getting a Deluxe Wii-U to get the Nintendo Network Premium then to not be downloading games seems kinda odd, unless that wasn't the reason ya got it, but that just seems like a handy thing to pay itself off after a few purchases

Enclosures are cheapThat's not an external hard drive.
Lets not forget DLC, updates, HD movies, etc. . .

I just kind of doubt that theyll ever get in that space when theyve shown no intention for their consumers to consume media in that way on their devices.

Retail games drop in price pretty fast though
