That's not a deal. The regular price is $200. The price officially dropped last October.
Those places that are still selling it for $250 are ripping people off.
There are plenty of Wiis in stock all over the 'net. I just got one at Dell Home for my sister. Where have you been looking that makes you think there's a shortage?
...
As for updates, that's not happening. Nintendo has been very loudly declaring that they have no intention of changing/updating the system any time soon. The only thing they might change is the color. They're selling black consoles in Japan.
...
Edit: Oh, apparently there is a shortage due to exceptional seasonal demand and production-constraints.

It can't be much of a shortage, tho. I found a console for my sister the first place I looked. And they tossed in a gift card.
