I downloaded the browser when it was available for free. Don't tell me I am going to have to pay for this upgraded version.

If it weren't for the fact that the channel would take up valuable system memory,I would actually consider downloading it when it releases.

THat is good news. I didn't think they would ever upgrade it. It would be nice if those of us who got the first version for free did not have to pay for this upgrade but I can see why they would charge us so things will get evened out with those who paid before.

Kay guys, let's clear the air.

If you've already paid 500 points, you upgrade for free.

If you got the Internet Channel for free, you have to pay 500 points for the upgrade.

This is a way of charging people who didn't pay the first time.

As a person who got the first one free, I'm pretty upset about this.
imo NO ONE should have to pay for this upgrade. And no one should have had to pay for the first browser either.

Lame. Just lame.

Because you didn't early adopt a Wii... Not that it was a selling point or anything in the grand scheme of things, but the more console manufacturers take out the reasons to early adopt the less likely I ever will again. I prefer Conjuration's thought... the Browser should be free for everyone in the first place... It's not like you are getting a quality Internet experience with it in the first place...

So how about this.

A new game gets released, and six months later, DLC is released. 

According to your logic, it'd be perfectly okay for the people who bought the game within the first month, to get the DLC for free.

While everyone else has to pay. 

But it's okay because those people were early adopters?

Take a step back... if I bought a game with a code in it for FREE DLC if you register this game within 6 months of release, which I do. Then yes, 8 months after release I would expect to get it for free while you, that registered at month 7 would have to pay... There needs to be some way to distinguish who fit the criteria and who did not. Going back to this Wii Browser thing, I think they would give this free patch to something both you and I own legal rights to download at any time we want to be able to get the patch. We both own the same thing currently... But if they single me out for not having paid for it, despite me already having full rights to it, then I would think that to be really lame... The way I look at it, they gave me 500 free points to download the browser, and as such should be seen as the same standing as you. And I see no problem with this logic.

The only reason I have the browser is because it was free. I don't use it much so I have better things to spend 500 points on, but the updates seem alright.

this will suck big time if i have to pay for the update becuase i got it free the first time but this is a great update lets hope the follow suit with the other channels and give them updates

on another note, no where did it say that those who got it for free have to pay for it,

this is purely speculation on behalf of user of go nintendo and gamespot, nintendo themselvea haven't even public announced it yet so we will just have to wait and see

i hope i dont have to pay and im doubting i will because i dont think theres a way of knowing who paid for it or not

and besides remember there was the beta version which was free, then the update to the final version was free, and then there was a update that gave the whole cut and paste among other features and that was free for those who downloaded the original

so basing my thought on this i think they will stick to that pattern and use precedent on it and not make us pay, because they didnt before

That Update was simply just a console update.  It has nothing to do with whether you had to purchase the update software or not.  The Internet Channel 2.0 will work the same way as Photo Channel 1.1.  It will be in the Shop channel so you can download the patch onto your console.  Though I'm unsure whether the Internet Channel 2.0 will be a patch or a completely different channel when it releases.

If users that received the original Internet channel for free will have to pay for the upgrade, then I wouldn't mind doing so.  Flash updates would be very nice. :)

The previous update (1.1) downloaded fine. No reason to assume this won't. There may not even be a mechanism in place to determine this.

Wonder what the WiiSpeak compatibility is for.

Dark_Link142

That is a rather curious feature. It might be as simple as integrating it into the flash player (some flash games do have mic input). Or perhaps Opera is putting in some fancy voice controls.

Instead of typing in words, just speak them? That would be an awesome feature.... I doubt they would do that, though.

Yeah, I got it before that deadline too. I don't think Nintendo is going to make us pay for an upgrade. Plus, if the Internet Channel costs 500 Wii Points now, then it really will just be an upgrade. So not to worry people.

Everything else > No flash 9.

Ps3 is only usable when you hook up a mouse and a keyboard, but that defeats the whole "lay-down in the couch web-surfing", so you might as well  just browse from your pc then. You would experience a lot less memory crashes and less Js/XML/Ajax compatibility issues, issues that Opera doesn't have. ;)

Wow, there's a lot of nerd rage in this thread!

The only people who will have to pay for this browser are the people who don't have a browser yet.  When you pull this up on the channel page, there will be an update button, just like with the last update.  There's no charge for updating, only for original purchase.

You seem to have missed my entire point. The point is: no one should have to pay for the internet channel, ever. No one, regardless of when you bought your Wii should have to pay one penny for the browser.

What if i got my browser free :P?nintendoman562

I downloaded the browser when it was available for free. Don't tell me I am going to have to pay for this upgraded version.thebisonx

last line.. and this apply to a LOT of ppl here... :P

-Details-

- New buttons
- Wii Speak Compability
- See your Wii mail from within the browser
- tab cube keeps track of 6 tabs, can be made invisible
- 500 Wii Points
- due out this December
- If you paid for the first version of the browser, you don't have to pay for this one
KiIIgore

If you got the browser in the 1st place, or you already buy it, this upgrade is free. 

or in teh words of kotaku`s staff, here : The browser should be available for 500 Wii Points, but existing owners should be able to get a free upgrade once the app is released in December.

:D
