Rumour: Wiis dropping to sub-£100

Best to treat this as a rumour until confirmed, but a little birdy has just whispered in our ear that Sainsbury’s will be dropping the price of Wii consoles to £99.97 tomorrow in a 10-day long promotion.

The promotion is also said to apply to Xbox 360 consoles, whereby 60GB Pro consoles will be available for £129.97, while Arcade machines will go for the paltry sum of £99.97. There doesn’t seem to be any offer running on PS3s.

Sainsbury’s promotion no doubt comes in a bid to do one over supermarket rivals Morrisons, who recently made the headlines for selling all Wii games at £15.

UPDATE:
According to this MCV piece, our source was correct regards the promotion’s existence but may be wrong on the price of the Wii, apparently due to go on sale at £149.97.
