The second volley has officially been fired from one of Sony’s competitors during its Tokyo Game Show 2009 liveblog with Nintendo officially unveiling the Wii price dropping to $199.99 in the US. The much rumored price drop goes into effect on Sunday, September 27 (that’s this Sunday, folks), confirming reports from earlier today from a leaked Best Buy internal memo.
I got an email from toys r us confirming this too. Maybe I'll get one eventually. Even the newly discounted PS3 is looking attractive as well.
Re: Nintendo officially announces Wii price drop to $199 in US
lolz i’d buy that just for mario galaxy, resident evil 5 and a few other games 
I'd buy it mostly for the virtual console. The backward compatibility with the Gamecube is also a very nice feature. They should make a DS player for it, which lets you play DS games on a TV, with the wiimote carrying out the function of the stylus.
Re: Nintendo officially announces Wii price drop to $199 in US
that would be nice. DS wouldnt look nice on a tv though cuz i belive it has very low resolution
GBA games had lower resolution than DS games and they looked fine on a TV. I'm pretty sure the DS is at least as powerful than the N64. I played GBA games on a CRT TV and they looked fine on that. However I don't know how they would look on an HDTV.
Re: Nintendo officially announces Wii price drop to $199 in US
i guess so cuz crt's dont have resolutions but HD tv's do
they probably have something like some sorta hardware to make it look good on tv screens.
cuz i remember when i had nokia's n95 8gb one i plugged it into tv and the video (movies) quality wasnt that bad it was pretty watchable.

Damn. Did you get an XBox 360 Elite or Pro? I suppose with a $100 price drop, the fact that you don't get the HD cables with it is not so bad since you can still end up saving about $40. I still haven't found anything on the Wii to really make me want it.
