Good times for the UK
Saw a good little story about the UK today. Looks like Nintendo will launch a free, UK-wide wireless gaming service for owners of its DS handheld console on 25 November. The scheme, dubbed the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, comes courtesy of deals struck with Wi-Fi hotspot companies The Cloud and BT Openzone, and will ensure any DS owner within range of a participating hotspot can connect wirelessly to a similarly located player and engage in networked virtual combat.
So what’s the catch? Any other usage (besides gaming) will be billed at whatever costs the relevant hotspot owner charges. So basically no free email or Web Surfing. Still sounds pretty sweet to us!
