Price Increases on Nintendo Wii Products @ Bestbuy?

I was browsing around at Bestbuy today and saw that they oddly increased their prices on numerous Nintendo products! lately but in times like this, one would expect prices to get slashed, not increased? I've also noticed that Futureshop, Ebgames, and other places are beginning to raise their prices too. Anybody have any views on whats going on with the Big N?

At least the price changes will not be as dramatic as it would be if the dollar would have dropped into the 60 cent range. With the dollar sitting in the 80 cent range, it will control modest increases of the price. I know that in the spring, the government will begin tacking on an environmental disposal fee on to the prices of technology-based products.
