Nintendo Wii Gets a Price Cut Too

The Nintendo Wii will now be priced at $199.99, a $50 price cut. This comes after the PS3 was reduced in price to coincide with the PS3 Slim release, and the recently announced price cut on the Xbox 360. The Wii, which has sold like crazy since its release, is looking to expand its install base even further. There won't be a new bundle however, and new owners will still get Wii Sports with the console. With many exciting releases in the pipeline, the price cut seems to have come at a perfect time. For those that recently paid full price for a Wii, some retailers are even offering a $50 credit.

ShallowBay on September 24, 2009 07:26PM id rather not spend $200 on 20 min. of fun reply to this

ClayMeow on September 25, 2009 07:05AM Super Smash Bros Brawl is awesome if you have other people living near you to play with...other than that, the New SMB looks fun, but nothing else appeals to me. For $200, let's see...I just got Batman: Arkham Asylum, I pre-ordered Dragon Age: Origins, I'll be buying Assassin's Creed 2 and Starcraft 2 when they're released. Yeah, definitely a better investment than a Wii. reply to this
