The internet is free - but not for long. New/lazy Nintendo Wii owners who haven’t yet downloaded the system’s web browser have until June 30th to get it for free. The Opera-based browser, introduced in December and improved in April, won’t replace your desktop/laptop computer, but can come in handy if those aren’t working. And it beats the niblets out of WebTV.After June 30th, it’ll cost 500 Wii Points ($5) to download the Internet channel - and before you ask, if you’ve already got it, you won’t be charged retroactively.
I am really glad I already got it. My friend will be sorry, he didnt listen to me when I told him to get it before the end of June.
I'm glad I got it the day it came out.
Now I don't have to worry about this.
But thanks for the reminder, drew.
(For those that don't have it.)

might be some new folks on here that dont know about the deadline, ya never know
i got, but even if you dont have it, its only $5. kinda fell sorry for the ppl waiting for more wii colors.
i got a little after cause i couldnt connect for a while. i would've been damned if i had a wii and couldnt get the free browser.
ya i already got it and told everyone that has the game to download it ASAP cuz even before they anounced this date i foresaw it coming

What game are you referring to?
i got it the first day....
i got it first day as well. At 11:35 to be precise...
I have the browser, it sucks. I never use it.
same, only when the internet on my computer is wack, or when i dont wanna leave my room,
I got it the first day too. I agree it isnt to great. I can just go on a computer at like 3x the speed.
but currently the price is right
I have it and I am waiting for those frequent updates Nintendo promised.
a mii channel update would be nice...my miis clothes are getting kinda stinky
I'd get it, but I'll have to wait for my Nintendo Wifi Connector, otherwise I won't even be able to get online @_@

I agree.
But it helps me, kinda, because my computer crashed, and when my parents are using their laptops, I can browse t3h int3rnetz0rz on t3h Wii! 
(I still prefer a real computer, though.)
One of the major drawbacks, I'd have to say, is that when you try to view a flash file, it asks if you have the latest edition.. And you can't upgrade. D=
Nintendo is supposed to have upgrades available but we haven't seen anything yet.
