Joystiq just got a tip from a Best Buy employee essentially confirming (assuming the whole thing isn’t a fabrication) the recently rumored Wii price drop of $50. The memo – seen above – basically asks employees to keep their mouths shut about the price drop which won’t be official until this Sunday. In a cruel twist of fate (or most accurately, in an obvious, logical series of events) the information very quickly found itself on the internet.

So, a Wii price drop, just in time for the holiday…with this move all three systems will have had price drops just in the past month. I’d be curious to know how many of them are reactions to sales of their rivals, versus the slowdown of their own sales. In any event, the holiday season showdown has officially begun.
