not this year that's for sure, even the first half of next year is unlikely. They just started bundling wii sports resort, it's a good time to buy a wii. Don't know why $50 is that big of a deal.

Your best bet:

You should be able to get a new one for $150, if you're diligent. Don't expect a retail price drop anytime soon, though.

They should make a gold wii bundle with zelda. I'd buy 2!

OT: No, I don't think they'll drop the price anytime soon. The only thing I can see them doing is including Wii Sports resort with every wii sold.

i think the wii price drop wil probably be on the gobalob ba bop bop. if slin kin juise well.. then i dont think we will have to worry about a price drop from umbumbup-grumphrey.

Not soon... nut i think the price worth it

Maybe if the other 2 reduce price this year, but its unlikely

@OP:
Do you want Malstrom to burn to ashes like a vampire in the sunshine? Isn't this unnecessarily cruel?

Not until the holiday season kicks in at least, but you can always keep your eyes peeled for special sales or bundles at retailers... not too long ago Walmart and Gamestop were throwing in $50 gift cards with the purchase of a Wii, so that's essentially like paying $150 for it.

Wii could drop to $149 this holiday season if M$ and Sony drop the price of their base consoles again when Natal and Move are finally released.

the wii is worth $199.

HERE IN AUS ITS ABOUT $300US

I think they should cut the price of Wii down to $150 3 weeks before the launch of PS move. Also they should do bundles like bundle black wii with Wii relax for a cheap price.
