hey

I think I read somewhere that Opera is free until June or July of 2007, not completly sure though.

edit (I looked a little more into this)
I think 1st party are games developed/published by Nintendo, 2nd party are games developed by others and published by Nintendo, and 3rd party are games both developed/published by others.

not really, if they sold for e.g. the mario game to xbox it would still be first party to nintendo but 3rd party to xbox, right?

Alright, here's how it works:

First party game: a game made by the console manufacturer themself (e.g. Super Mario Galaxy).

Second party game: a game made by a separate company under a deal by a console manufacturer, so that it is exclusive to their system (e.g. Metroid Prime 3).

Third party game: a game made by a separate company for whatever consoles that company wants to release them for (e.g. Call of Duty 3).
