I wish they had info on the internet channel

 

[Inspire]

Longer than I would've wanted, but at least we have some dates. I'm really looking forward to these to channels - and everyone else should be to (if for no other reason, then that they will start moving onto 'cooler' things when they're done )

Once again, i0n, great find and thanks for the information :thumbsup:

 

[MetroidZ]

i don't think it will be sir.

 

[cnmsales]

The Opera internet browser will not be free. It was announced it would be free until some time in july where it will cost wii points to purchase after this. I dont think it will take very long for them to get it up.

 

[wele]

i wonder how many wii points... 1000?

Opera is cheap, so I hear, like maybe $10 annually!

Wow, wish I would have know before I waited 14 hours in he cold. Im cool with somethin like $10 a year but if it's more then that then I'll be sellin my Wii. Being able to Browse the web on my TV instead of my comp was a huge selling point for me. I love my Wii so far, but they need to add features not take them away.
