Apparently some Nintendo fanboy replaced the 'we' on the product page with a 'Wii' and a website link.

Nintendo won't be minding the free publicity though!

Opera is the official browser for wii (if you didnt know about that), and yes i guess some guy has putup a link for his webpage and i think this might be a problem for opera users like me as we dont know if it is really a wii site or a site trying to exploit Operas security holes if any.

I just don't think opera will setup a competetion to hack there site. Any such thinks may related to there software only.

Just check the links of that 'Wii's':

*skriblerier.net/dancing_queen/
AND
*www.geocities.com/slightly.ajar/homepage.html

They purely shows that is's not related to the 'WII' cosole. Anyway i'm gonna report it to the Opera siteadmin.

no AiM I believe Indyan. Check the first link you have given. It gives out a clue. I do think there's a competition going on after all they want to promote themselves and Opera browser is a big factor in Wii.
And opera has been known to do such weird things in the past.
