Nintendo Wii Price Drop Incoming - $149.99?

Since the whole rumor of the new Nintendo console that's supposedly HD, other rumors of price drop seem to be coming in! It was purely speculation before when reports started coming in from anonymous sources that Engadget had been receiving, but this one coming from a retail store seems to be real.

Coming from another anonymous source at a K-Mart, the Nintendo Wii is listed at a $149.99 price point and has been said to officially happen on May 15th. Seems like Nintendo already has enough money in their pockets and wants to get more Wii consoles out before this new HD system gets announced. Who know? Only time will tell...

PSP Go Price Cut is not $150

Last week, we reported that the PSP Go had gotten a price cut, making the handheld $150. Looks like it's not the case now, since Sony updated their own site with a newer price tag.

Who knows what happened, but the new price tag for Sony's handheld is now $199.99, taking only $50 off the original MSRP; $250. No wonder the original updated price didn't get sent out to retailers. Maybe it was a mistake, but honestly, the new $199.99 MSRP is not gonna be helping Sony since sales for the system aren't too good to begin with.

Sony PSP is now $129.99

This morning, Sony's Official Playstation Blog has announced that the PSP has gotten a new price drop, sporting at a $129.99 price tag. Along with that, they have rounded up some of the best PSP games under the "Greatest Hits" labels, such as Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines, Dissidia: Final Fantasy, LittleBigPlanet, Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker, Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, Resistance: Retribution, and Toy Story 3; all for $19.99

They also lined up some new PSP "Favorites" as well, like Daxter, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, Killzone: Liberation, SOCOM: US Navy Seals Fire Team Bravo, and Tomb Raider Anniversary; all for $9.99.

With that, Sony has launched a new "Thank You" ad campaign to promote the handheld's new price. However,  the Sony PSPGo will stay at $199.99. Guess they still want to try out digital distribution.

Looking at this new price, I'm thinking that they're already prepping for the NGP
