This must be some sort of in store promotion. There is no way there would be a price drop for the Wii without the entire internet finding out about it several weeks prior.

50AU is about 43US, so this would be a significant deal. How much do Wii's go for over there? Maybe the price drop was regional because you guys were already paying more than what the conversion rates should have been?

 I know some places have to pay more overall when converted to US dollars than US people have to pay, so maybe it was some sort of sympathy cut for you guys?
