Hmm I wonder what sort of access time sd cards have, and if gaming of one of them wouldl turn into stuttery shite ?

watch some of the Youtube video's ryan. All the Wii games are instant loading even from the cd's.

btw before you all start I phrased that wrong. I didn't mean there was no loading screens or anything I meant the interface instant loads stuff and from the SD card video's i've seen of the downloadable content there's not been any stuttering.

Hmm I dunno I will believe that when I see it, using a sd card as a hard drive to load demos off, surely has to be a bit iffy. Ahh well we will see. And no thanks if I want to watch a webcam broadcast it had better have boobies in it, so I dont bother with youtube.

It's not a webcam broadcast there's loads of video's from Nintendo showing the UI and game loading etc

I meant the fact I have seen better looking and sounding webcam broadcasts than youtube, meant to be the age of broadband and streaming hi quality video, and yet we are stuck with youtube.

from wikipedia:

There are different speed grades available which are measured with the same system as CD-ROMs, in multiples of 150 KB/s. Basic cards transfer data up to 6 times as fast (900 KB/s) as the standard CD-ROM speed. High-speed cards are made with higher data transfer rates like 66x (10 MB/s), and high-end cards have speeds of 150x or higher.

I guess then you want to buy a decent one, not the cheapest piece of tat out there.

i hope thats true about games loading off SD's
i agree with stan about the low quality of youtube they mad world GoW trailer is jaw dropping in HD but awful on youtube

youtube is formed by people uploading any old video they find. What do you expect ? If they don't have a good source then they won't have a good video out of it at the end will they.

You can also stream demo's from the Wii to the DS if you set it to the public play mode thing, although you lose the game when you turn the DS off as it has no storage on it. That's one reason i'm hanging onto my DS at the moment.. that and the fact you can use it as a controller on the Wii too.

Yes but my point is, no matter the quality of the source youtube still looks and sounds like shite, I aint saying other people cant enjoy it, but why have kit like mine if you are going to watch stuff that makes webcams look advanced

Not to mention you just cant enjoy or get as imersed into the piece of film in question when the quality is so poor.
