Well folks, it's not quite May 15 (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/12/rumor-nintendo-dropping-wii-price-to-150-on-may-15th/) just yet, but it seems that big box retailers have already begun offering discounts on the Nintendo Wii, dropping the price from $200 to $170. It's not exactly a full-on, official price drop -- not yet, at least -- but it certainly looks like one is imminently approaching.
As indicated last week by a leak at Target (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/15/rumor-target-cutting-wii-price-to-170-on-april-18/) and corroborated by listings on the websites ofGameStop (http://www.gamestop.com/browse/nintendo-wii/systems?nav=138a-c4), Toys 'R Us (http://www.toysrus.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=2290641), and Best Buy (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Nintendo+-+Nintendo+Wii+Console+(Black)+w/Wii+Sports%2C+Wii+Sports+Resort+and+Wii+Remote+Plu s/1503558.p?id=1218264252676&skuId=1503558), various versions of the Nintendo Wii console bundle are being offered for $170 as of today. Best Buy even got in on the action a bit early over this past weekend (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/16/best-buy-selling-wiis-for-170-right-now/). However, if what we've heard about an official price drop in mid-May for the Nintendo Wii is true, then you may just want to wait another few weeks and save yourself a full $50.
