Nintendo Wii advice

Ive just ordered a Nintendo WII and just wanted some advice.

I know you get an internal memory of 512mb so I am assuming I will need an SD card what would people reccomend memory wise and were is the best place to get one.

Ive also noticed you can download games is it better to purchase this through the WII or buy a card.

Lastly what games would you recommend purchasing.

Thanks

    You can use any SD card up to 2gb with the Wii, but you don't need one straight away (i've got about 4 or 5 downloaded games on mine + save games etc and still have about two thirds of the internal memory free).

    I would recommend getting a good quality SD card though, something like Crucial, or Sandisk (I think it's sandisk who make the official wii ones).

    As for the wii points for buying games, Virgin is probably the cheapest place to get them at the moment (2000 points for £13 delivered compared to £15-20 at most retailers).

    If you haven't got Wiimote covers (new wiimotes come with a silicone cover now*) you can order some free from the nintendo website free :)




    *But chances are there is still stock out there without the covers included.
