Is it safe to put stuff on a normal SD card, rather then the lisenced ones by Nintendo? If it is, then what whould happen if I had game data on it and put it in my camera? Or I save stuff on it while theres photos/vidios on it?

Im just asking so I dont screw my wii or camera up. It said I had 14814 blocks left while it was in te Wii. It was a 2 gigabyte

It doesn't matter.  2G is the limit for the Wii.

"Nintendo" SD card?  Never heard of them, and, like ShadowBrain, my data is still good.

I use this:  http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000EWI8IK

You can get 2G much cheaper, but I like being able to use it with any computer without needing a card reader.  It works in my Wii, PS3, HD digital/video camera, and all three of my PCs.

SD cards, only the packaging is Wii White and has the Nintendo seal on it. Yeah, there's no difference.

How about the Wii, but... in black!  Maybe some goths who would normally get a Ps3 because of color would switch to a Wii then...

Why aren't there alternate colors for the Wii?
Gently push a piece of the tube containing the intersection along the fourth dimension, out of the original three dimensional space.

No.  Memory Sticks are not compatible with the Wii's Secure Digital card slot.  SD was designed to compete with Sony's Memory Stick.

^ Sadly, that's true... if they know they'll sell out with their current Wii, they're not going to bother spending the time and money desiging alternate colors...

There's always money and screwdriving.

I don't care much about what color the console is (and wholly grain that's too expensive for some blasted plastic). That's what I look at least when I'm gaming. I do like variation in controller appearance, however, and that's why I got the clear casing for the Wii Remote from that site. But I used the old buttons, as you can see.

Edit: Looking over that site reminds me of older Nintendo handhelds. What happened to good old clear plastic? Opaque is so boring. I always had the purple transparent Game Boy Color when my friends had the vibrant walls of yellow or green. Then, for the Game Boy Advance, the transparent variations were just too frosty and then the SP abandoned transparency altogether...

Yes, there is. I like my stuff black, thank you. *Points at black GCN, DS Lite, iPod touch (If I liked white more than black, I would get the new white one). Black Wii skin pending.

The Wii branded SD card costs at least 3x as much as a regular SD card.

Well, everyone else uses non-Wii-branded SD cards with no trouble at all, so you don't know what you're doing.
And you can't use cards bigger than 2GB.

Well I don't know maybe it's new firmware upgrades detecting a non-wii brand or something. I knew 2G is the limit so you buy more.

Are you trying to say that the 2GB limit is a marketing decision to sell more cards?  And as I'm sure others here could also say, 3.3U is giving me no problems with my non-Wii branded SD card.

Having the Wii logo doesn't make it physically any different from every other SD card ever.

Yes. If you run out of room you would need a new card, wouldn't you? It could be physical damage to my Wii or something else not permitting me to use other non-Wii SD cards.

What would be the advantage of getting a new card rather than moving stuff off the card onto a computer? You wouldn't be able to have both cards in your Wii at once.
