No way will the UK price come down. Our price depends on the price in Euro's..and the weak value of the pound means we're currently paying £45 less than the rest of europe at the current exchange rate (we should really be paying around £225 in the UK when compared to the rest of Europe).
If Europe gets a price cut from 249 euros to 199 euros..all that does is bring them into line with the UK (199 Euros = £179 pounds).
The UK won't get a decent official cut unless the pound recovers.
Your best bet is to keep an eye out for supermarket offers (Asda and Sainsburys were selling the Wii for £150 a few weeks ago) or just look for a decent bundle.
