SanDisk Supports Nintendo Wii Launch With Special Gaming Card Available at Retail OutletsDual-Branded White SD Card Enables Wii Owners to Store Game Saves, Downloadable Games, Images and Other Content MILPITAS, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Nov. 17, 2006 SanDisk Corporation today announced that it is shipping special edition SanDisk SD(TM) memory cards to major retailers in conjunction with the release of Nintendo's new Wii(TM) game console, which is compatible with removable flash memory to store game saves, download games and view digital photos. The white cards, bearing the label "SanDisk For Wii," will be available in three capacities - 512 megabytes (MB), 1 gigabyte (GB) and 2GB(1) - at gaming and major consumer electronics stores. Suggested retail prices range from $34.99 to $89.99.
So is one to assume that all the old BLUE SD cards you have stored in the drawer are not going to work as well? Marketing ... it is an amazing thing!
I think they are banking on the basis that people who aren't computer aware will buy the Sandisk memory cards because they have Wii on them and they will work. I can see the point from that way as it solves many problems, they can just say, "buy the branded version and it will work 100%".

I think it's just a style thing. If you want a memory card that matches your Wii, or you have some SD cards already and you want to easily tell the Wii mem cards apart, this will do it. Of course, there's a little "gotta have it" in any product line, too. You know your ipod isn't going to fall apart sitting there on your desk, but you get the silicone case anyway.
