SanDisk To Launch Rock Band 2 Branded SD Cards

, , , ...

In a move that is sure to confuse buyers more than they already are, SanDisk today annouced plans to launch a 2GB Rock Band 2 branded storage card, which will launch this spring and retail for $12.99. According to SanDisk, 2GB is enough storage to hold up to 75 downloadable songs.

Now, here lies the problem: any SD card will work on the Wii, despite whatever logo is printed on the decal. A standard SanDisk 2GB card retails for $6.99, while the Rock Band branded will retail for $12.99, and a card with a Wii logo retails for $33.99. ...what? Does anyone seriously pay $27 extra for a logo? Is it that important to you? Let us know in comments.

Confirmed: Rock Band Headed to Wii

, , , ...


Rock Band has been very well received. Some outlets named it their best game of 2007, and many claimed it was the most innovative. Only one problem: it wasn't released on any Nintendo systems. What's a Wii fan to do? Wait? This time, it seems the waiting and hoping paid off because in a conference call yesterday, the CEO of Electronic Arts confirmed that a Wii version of Rock Band is in the works.

No release date or further information has been announced, but I can tell you one thing: it will be awesome.
