Since the end of last week, we've been receiving tips from several people/sites making mention of a new Nintendo Wii SKU, although most of them were dirty piles of speculation that have rolled down the hill, resulting in a pile of brown sludge that we didn't want to have anything to do with.
The only bit of information we've seen that is even remotely solid comes from Codename Revolution, who learned from their distributor contact that a Wii SKU (UPC# 045496880088) is headed towards retailers, and it's being called the "New Pack." It lists for $289.99 Canadian.
We've heard rumors about silly things like the inclusion of DVD playback, but the SKU is probably something a bit less exciting, like early listings for Wii Zapper or Wii Fit bundles. A new console color or game pack-in bundle wouldn't be too far out there, either.

I think all standard Wii systems now come with the condoms, so that can't be it. I might be wrong, though.
IMO it should be a few new colors (Black/Silver/Red/Blue/Pink etc.) for the System and/or a bundle with GH III or the Wii Zapper/Link's Crossbow Training or Wii Play (all of them should still come with Wii Sports).
Just get a case from some 3rd party, that's what I plan on doing. As soon as I have 30 bucks to blow that is.
My bet: it substitutes Mii Murder Simulator for Wii Sports.
