Cubed3.com is reporting that Nintendo Power has revealed that the DS's Opera web browser will launch in June in Japan. The browser will be released on a standard DS cartridge, retailing for 3,800 yen (roughly $32). $32 for a web browser? Yikes!

Note: release outside of Japan is still unconfirmed.

The DS Lite ----------- = $129.00
Opera Browser --------- = $ 32.00
Total ----------------- = $161.00

PSP with "free" browser = $199.00

Hmm...DS is still cheaper. The "Free" PSP browser is part of why the PSP is $199. So DS people have to buy the Web Browser, but PSP people have to fork out the extra $40 to have that "free" browser...Just a thought. Sony fans ever think of that? I like the PSP, don't get me wrong, but the DS is just better..That's all...

While I'm a bit late to the party, here's a thought about "will the cart ugprade to DS or will we have to stick the cart in every time?".

Well think about it, if all the high scores and saves for a game are stored on the cart, then you can store bookmarks/favorites/cookies/whatnot on the cart as well. So you have RSS feeds and stuff, all your favorite sites bookmarked (within reason of course) on the cart, and take it with you.

Pretty neat I think
