@Obsidian: That's not the difference between Megabits and Megabytes. Megabytes are 8 Megabits, so if the flash on the wii was really 512mbit, it would be only 64MB, not 486MB.
The 486MB vs 512MB is due to formatting and possibly due to system reserved space.

Meh! Someone call the sarcasm police.

Incorrent, it's not 256Gigabits, it's 256GigaBytes
(Gb = Gigabits, GB = Gigabytes)
It freaked me out at first, like the flash on a wii is 512Mb NOT MB meaning it's something idiotic like 486MB =/
