A certain supermarket tries something new today and slashes the Wii retail price - Jamie Oliver would be proud...

Supermarket chain Sainsbury's will reportedly be cutting the retail price of the Wii console from tomorrow. This price cut will see the Wii's price reduced from £179.97 to £149.97 giving the customer a £30 saving. Other consoles will see a price drop too including the Xbox 360 Arcade from £129.97 to £99.97.

This promotional deal is set to last from between between October 3rd and October 12th.

Has this price cut at last persuaded you to get a Wii? Is this a great deal or do you know of a better one? Why not have your say in the comments section below...

£99.97 for an Xbox 360? Wow I'd actually be interested if it wasn't the shitty Arcade one.

Hot damn! £99.97 for a new 360? regardless of the fact it's the arcade version that is one hell of a deal. I may consider buying another one. Mine is still broken and it's not that much more expensive than to get it repaired.

Tempting. I want an xbox for Banjo Kazooie, and ..well..not much else.

Now if only Sony did the same for their platform, then I could get the only game I want for that as well (LBP)
