Topic: Wii Internet Channel now free

The Opera browser is now free. Again. It started off that way and then it eventually went pay. So if you didn't get it before, you can go grab it now. If you actually paid for it, Nintendo is going to give you a free NES game on Virtual Console. Well...not really free since you technically already paid for it. You know what I mean, though.

Well that's cool of Nintendo to reimburse people like that.  They certainly didn't have to.

Haha, Im glad I never bought it, I was sort of half way wishing this would happen, but didnt ever think it was going to.

Now I'll have to check it out.  I haven't even turned on the Wii for months.

Yeah, that's awesome.  I avoided it too, but it'd actually be really nice to be able to use the internet on the TV upstairs from time to time.

This works amazingly well.  Image quality looks 16-bit at best, but damn, I didn`t expect such a complete level of functionality.  Even youtube works well [with crappy video quality, but motion and audio are smooth]. 

I should look into a USB KB for this.  Tha wiimote is tons better than a gamepad here, but it`s still [literally] a pain for this much typing.
