Even though Nintendo dropped the suggested retail price of the Wii system to $199.99, that doesn’t mean you can’t get it for less.

Sam’s Club today (October 19, 2009) just sent out an email circular that is promoting the system for $194.88 (US), a smidge less than the asking price. The sale page is, in usual retail fashion, promoting it as a much bigger price drop, stating “Now only $198.88. Was $244.86.”

The “Delivery” link on the site’s product page indicates that this is an online only deal, so you will need to add in shipping.

Since I let my Sam’s Club membership lapse ages ago (the site does often offer a free one-day pass to email subscribers), I cannot confirm that this deal is available in stores, too. If you see it at that price in your local Sam’s Club, please let us know.

The other notable online-only sale item listed in the Club Insider email is a 42 in. Vizio 120Hz 1080P LCD HDTV for $748.14 with (for a limited time) free shipping. Also, on the “New and Last Chance” sales page there is a Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console listed for $398.88 (will be available November 10, 2009).
