E*Trade Joins The Pricing Wars

Things are really starting to heat up in the broker pricing wars. Last month, Charles Schwab stopped charging their customers based on a tiered commission structure, and started charging a single flat rate. This makes Schwab much more accessible to investors and broadens their potential market. Just a few days ago, Fidelity followed suit and also started charging their customers a single flat rate. Now E*Trade has entered the pricing wars by changing their standard commission from $12.99 to $9.99. Before, the $9.99 commission was only available to investors with a $50,000.00+ account. Now all I'm wondering is if there will be an E*Trade Superbowl ad for these new prices.
