Between the current production rate, and the back stock from when production was increased back in June/July, I have a hard time seeing the Wii being bought for anything more than the $249 MSRP this season. Only if you lived in a poorly stocked, smaller market.
Of course, I did say about a month ago that the weeks leading up to Black Friday would be the best time to buy one, just based upon availability. I've been seeing them on store shelves regularly since about the end of summer.
Whether or not that changes once the holiday shopping season officially kicks off remains to be seen.
There may well be a mob of console flippers returning stock to retail outlets if not.
