No...  the Lynx price will be lowered to $149...
 
The $99 price will be for the Lynx II ...  a "someday" to be released unit
that will be smaller than the original Lynx.  My understanding is that it
will be "Gameboy" sized, without the ability to turn it over for "Left Handed
operation.

(By the way, has anyone actually *SEEN* all these 16 Lynx cartridges that
are supposed to be "available"..?   I've seen Slime World and Road Blasters
in a local Electronics Boutique.... waaay in the back, past the WALL of
games for Gameboy, Nintendo, Sega and NEC...  but not 16 Lynx games in
all...)
