I know Opera will be free for a while. I have my wii, but cant play it till X-mas. What I wanna know is if Im going to have to pay for it after that time is up or its just free for the people who download it before then? Im hoping i dont have to pay for it, especially after experiencing it for free. Also, Im pretty sure it wont be, but is it gonna be a monthly charge? If so Im not even gonna bother, thats what I have a computer for

I was thinking the same thing...except the monthly fee. I highly doubt they'll do that...and as much as I hope they use cookies, that might bog up the onboard memory...if you use it a lot. Also, does anybody know when a keyboard will be available for the wii? It has usb ports...and I don't think it has any options for them yet...
My thoughts exactly, if they try to charge me money for a pretty mediocre web browser then they can shove it. I have a computer with the Godly Firefox so why would I want to pay for Opera?
I think it'll be free for download until June, but people who want it after June will have to pay and if your lucky enough to have it before June then your safe.
dood when duz it come out. its not on the shop channel. it sez its coming soon which is bulls*** cuz its been all hyped up and now that i have a wii its not even available.
Mod edit: Please watch language.
ok, we know pretty much NOTHING about this subject. there have been reports saying that a version or a beta version (depending on what report u read) will be coming out on the 23rd of this month. we dont know about cookies or anything of the sort. we do know that it supports flash though. preferably, if u have it before june (which is when it starts to cost) that it will be free.
From what I've read it will be free until perhaps June next year. After that The makers of the Opera will charge for it if you want to use it after June.

charge to use it or download it? thats my main question. Is it an extra bonus for people who get their wii a little early or is it some free trial? I hope its not. I guess we just have to wait and see. Thanks for the info everyone.
they wont charge for how much u use it, it will be for the first donwload and thats it. just like a VC game.

What they've said can be taken two ways. One could mean that if you download it before June then it will be free but others who haven't downloaded it will have to pay OR it could mean that you can use it for free until June and then if you want to continue using it you'll have to buy it through the VC. Problem is no one knows right now which one.
