At least according to Engadget and their ‘anonymous’ source. Of course, the iPod Touch camera was also ‘confirmed’ through multiple sources … and I still hold a grudge on THAT one. But this is just the latest of several rumors all pointing to one thing: that on Sunday September 27th, our newspapers will be filled with a variety of places to get the Wii for $50 less than we can today. I guess that – along with month after month of dismal sales news for the entire video game industry – is the final nail in the ‘Wii shortage’ coffin.

Other reports in recent weeks include one about a Toys R Us flier:

And another pointing to a ‘new low price’ at Target:

Well, either way on Sunday we’ll know for sure!

I have loved technology for as long as I can remember - and have been a computer gamer since the PDP-10! Mobile Technology has played a major role in my life - I have used an electronic companion since the HP95LX more than 20 years ago, and have been a 'Laptop First' person since my Compaq LTE Lite 3/20 and Powerbook 170 back in 1991! As an avid gamer and gadget-junkie I was constantly asked for my opinions on new technology, which led to writing small blurbs ... and eventually becoming a reviewer many years ago. My family is my biggest priority in life, and they alternate between loving and tolerating my gaming and gadget hobbies ... but ultimately benefits from the addition of technology to our lives!
