Sweet.

The browser is already released here isn't it? I've seen it at EB, Target and such... well, just those two places near me. But would you really prefer to browse internet on a DS in maccas rather than play Mario Kart or Castlevania? (Or whatever your wifi game of choice is.)

I thought this happened ages ago, but whenever I went into maccas and tried to access, it went *family feud style sad noise*

So... I may have to testris this out.

Y'know, it sounds like a crap idea, paying for a web browser, but they've ported it especially for the specific hardware. I retract my previous comment about browser on DS statement as it would be quite handy when you want to find a friend code or something.

I just tried out Castlevania wifi tonight. First ever online experience and I get a low battery light after a few minutes of playing. :(

But yeah, maccas wifi is pretty good. Speedy. :D
