In November, not only do you have the cheap Nintendo Wii to look forward to, you’ll also be able to pick up a few extra games without fearing paying anything extra for the Wii’s online gaming service (unless you want to purchase some vintage games that is, of course).
If you prefer hearing it straight from Nintendo’s Reggie’s mouth:
“We will offer online-enabled games that the consumers will not have to pay a subscription fee for. They’ll be able to enjoy that right out of the box. The Wii console is going to be Wi-Fi enabled, so essentially, you’ll be able to plug it in and go. It won’t have hidden fees or costs.”
I’m sold, November come soon!

I must add to that now that I think about it…
“Somewhere in Seattle’s a Microsoft X-Box Live executive opens up Forever Geek, and reads about Nintendo’s Online service and says…
Holly shit, what do we do now?”
Sony’s online service has been confirmed to be free also ;)
