If it wasn’t clear by now that Nintendo was dropping the price of the Wii down in preparation for launch of a new console, well here’s all the evidence we need: a rumored price drop which is set to take effect this Monday will lower the price of the Wii to $170, but that hasn’t stopped several retailers from already dropping the price — chief of which is Best Buy.
The retail giant has lowered the price of the Wii to $170, selling the regular bundle in white or black, both including Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort and a Wii Remote Plus. Other retailers like Toys R Us have been selling them for $170 in retail stores, while their online prices have yet to be updated. Expect GameStop and Amazon to follow suit very soon.
In case you’re interested in a Wii, you can find one on Best Buy’s site for the all new, low price of $170.
The annual Black Friday shopping day is a God send for folks looking to get great deals, and for 2010, Best Buy has revealed some of its deals, which include a Wii bundle that has Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, a Wii Remote Plus + Nunchuk, for just $170 — the regular price for the package is well over $250.

If you’re going to pre-order Sega‘s forthcoming Alpha Protocol you should probably do it at Best Buy. I say this because it was recently announced that the game will be getting a pre-order bonus at the mega retailer. These bonuses include a Hamilton Marksman High-Accuracy Pistol, the Samael Typhoon High Recoil Control SMG and some ammo and mines.
Alpha Protocol will be out for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on June 1st of this year.

Best Buy is really looking to give GameStop a run for their money, especially with their latest sale — Starting today, if you buy one Xbox 360 title you will be able to purchase a second at half price. In other words, spend around 90 bucks and walk away with two brand new games.
Currently, Best Buy has listed 231 titles that are available through the promotion including forthcoming titles such as BioShock 2 and Final Fantasy XIII.
Peep the full list here.
If the above pictures are anything to go by, Best Buy is gearing up to launch a 80GB PS3 bundle that will include both Killzone 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4.
According to Joystiq, Best Buy employees have confirmed the bundle to be real and that it will feature a $399 price point just like the normal 80GB system. This is quite the enticing deal to those who have yet to purchase a PS3 and are looking to.
Perhaps Sony is looking to push more PS3s out the door to make way for a cheaper model. Or perhaps, the PS3 slim?
Best Buy is holding a large video game sale for most consoles like the Xbox 360, Playstation and Wii today. Prices have all been marked down to $9.99, a far cry from their original prices which started at $60.
Over 100 games are on sale, but if you don’t want to wade through the whole list, here’s a few recommendations. Xbox 360 owners could do a lot worse than C&C: Red Alert 3, Condemned 2, and Devil May Cry 4. On PS3, Pure, Guitar Hero 3, and Soul Calibur 4 are good choices. On the Wii, the selection’s not quite so good, but Samba de Amigo’s a great choice if you like off-beat rhythm games.
Just like the famed sales made by Circuit City some months back, you better get to Best Buy quick if you want to get hold of those games for a steal!

Harmonix has revealed that the entirety of Pearl Jam’s “Ten” album would be released as Rock Band downloadable content on March 24, which is next Tuesday.
It will sell as a bundle for 1440 Microsoft points ($18), though individual tracks can also be bought for 160 points ($2) a piece.
Additionally, Best Buy is offering three more downloadable tracks – “Brother”, “Alive (live)” and “State of Love & Trust (live)” – in exchange for a purchase of the physical rerelease of “Ten”.
If you don’t want to buy the album on CD, you can always wait for a while to let the tracks appear online as downloadable content. Best Buy did this thing with Disturbed.
