Ferrago Sunday, September 20, 2009Another advert hints at Wii price drop in USBest Buy joins 50 USD splicingBlogs across the interweb have already grabbed snapshots of Target and Toys R Us adverts purporting to
reveal that the Wii will soon fall to 199 USD in the

A release in early 2011 is hoped for.So confident was the speaker in the merits of the new project that he enthused the new title could over-take rival PC MMO titles in terms of experience. That's quite a claim, given the distinct lack of MMOs on consoles so far. Thanks VG247.
