In a move meant to make one of its products more
competitive on the market, NVIDIA announced it has cut down the price of its
Shield TV set-top box by US$ 20. While that might not sound much, it's no
coincidence that the base price of the NVIDIA Shield TV starts at US$ 179, the
same as Apple's TV 4K.
The bad news is aside from the 16GB streaming
device, you'll only get the remote. For an additional US$ 59, you can buy the game
controller as well. In fact, NVIDIA offers another bundle for US$ 199 that
includes the remote and game controller, so if you're into Android gaming, then
that's the best option you can get.
Finally, for US$ 299 you are offered a Shield TV Pro,
which has increased storage (500GB), as well as the same remote and game
controller. The last two versions are already available in stock, but the
remote-only model that costs US$ 179 will ship on October 18.
Moreover, shipping is free if you choose the
cheapest options, but if you want it the next day it becomes available, then
you'll have to pay up to US$ 33.
