Rumour: Wii Getting USB Hard Drives?

Are Nintendo set to expand the Wii's memory capacity with two new USB hard drives? Details inside...
With some users frequently maxing out the limited 512MB internal memory of the Wii, gamers have long been calling out for an answer to this problem (beyond just backing up downloaded Virtual Console and WiiWare titles to SD cards). The rumour on the street now however is that a solution is very close to being unveiled.
And the likely solution? The option of a hard drive add-on through the system's USB ports at the rear of the console. According to rumours, 32GB and 64GB options will be available. Which, while not up to the storage capacity of other consoles this generation, is certainly more than the 2GB SD card limit currently imposed.
Stick with N-Europe for the official details as soon as they're announced.
