It's not the fact that it shipped with only 512mb of storage that's a bad thing (well, it is, but that's what they decided to do), it's more that nearly 18 months later, there's still no other options to people that have filled up their space other than, back stuff up to an sd card to make room (and then put it back if you actually want to play it), or just delete stuff and redownload it later.

With Wii Ware pretty imminent, you'd have thought they'd be on the verge of announcing some overpriced usb hard drive add on (not compatible with ordinary cheaper hard drives of cource), but there doesn't seem to be any sign yet.
