Whatever you do, don’t buy a Wii. No, wait. Meant to say don’t buy a Wii today. Today. Nintendo have just announced that they’re slashing $100 off the RRP starting tomorrow. It’s the first price drop the console has seen since launch. $300 sounds a lot more appropriate a price for the Wii, although it makes it the same price as the DSi XL…

One of things that always bugged me about the Xbox 360 was that after spending a heap of cash on the console, you’d still need to fork out another $170 just so you could get online wirelessly without running an Ethernet cable through the house. Fortunately, Microsoft have come to their sense and dropped the price of many of its peripherals – including the wireless network adapter. Now you can play 360 over your home wireless network for just… $150. That’s right, it’s a saving of $20!

Just in time for NFL, the World Series and all those delightful new network sitcom premieres, Gary over at HD Guru has caught wind of an across-the-board price drop that will lower prices of 2008 panels by a couple hundred dollars. Tons of Samsung’s series 5, 6 and 7 sets will see a drop of US$100-US$200, with Sony, Mitsubishi and Panasonic expected to follow suit by Labour day, so it’s probably a good idea to hold your horses on that new set until the prices start to fall, Wal-Mart style.
