If you already spent $5 for the browser at the end of October you can download a NES game, of the same price, for free.

Correct. At the end of October, if you already paid for the browser before it was free, you will be able to download a NES game for free.

Oh, ok. That makes sense.

On a side note, I find the browser hard to use.

The Wii Web browser is nice for watching YouTube.

I thought it was a little odd that it was free for a while. Then it cost $5 now it's free again. You can hook up a USB keyboard to make it a little easier to use but still nothing great.

But still a cool concept. At least it's better then the last web browser I used on my TV back in the mid 90's. Now I just prefer Safari running on my Mac Mini.

You can now redeem your free game until December 31. When I turned on my Wii yesterday it told me to update my Wii shop channel. When I did it added a button to redeem my free game.

A reminder to those with modded Wii's...

DO NOT UPDATE YOUR SYSTEM MENU!!!

Use WiiSCU to update your Shop channel.
