The price drop was due to the strength of the dollar, not a price reduction.

Has the value of the dollar changed?

The only Wii game that Ive spent over the 49.99 mark was GH3, I doubt SSBB will be more than that though people will still buy it if it was 59.99

No, it's at 99 cents, basically at par.

Canadian dollar was up for a bit but they are pretty even now. As for the price increase all games here in Windsor, Ontario are still 49.99 (except Zelda TP) what is 54.99 for some reason. Normally Roger and Blockbusters charges a little more butn I have no idea why.

i have not seen any Wii games for more than $50 except for GH3. I will just have to rent the games before I buy them if they go up. I would not pay $60 for smash brothers either.

The highest I have ever paid for a Wii game was $59.99 and that was for Boogie w/ Microphone!
