I have to say I was very annoyed to find out that you can't move your animal crossing save data. I can understand it being set up so you can't copy it, but they should allow us to move the data to a new (possibly larger) card whenever we want. It's just a little annoying. There's no reason a "move" shouldn't be allowed.
With that out of the way, I have to take issue with one thing regarding all console saving. I'm quite annoyed with the way they have this limited save slot thing per card set up. For instance, although some games, like most Final Fantasy games, will allow you to have as many save files as you can up until the card is filled up, others, like Ape Escape or Metroid Prime, limit your save slots to 3 or 4 per card, even if there's LOTS of extra space on the card. They should allow a person to save as many extra files as they want (which would mean seperating into one file per save slot, but oh well) instead of this silly limiting for no reason except maybe to get people to buy extra cards. It's something they should really get over.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
