I recently talked to one of the top people at Nintendo as part of my job (reporter with national news organization) and asked him about the Target/PS2/$99 rumors and whether they'd heard those as well. He told me that as soon as they did, they called Target and asked if this was actually happening or whether it was wishful net thinking. Target told him it was just a rumor. No $99 price drop coming.
As for the eventual price cuts for the two systems? May 2004 is the best bet right now. It'll add some meat to their E3 presentations.
