Google’s first retail TV Android device, the Nexus Player, Average User meth With The same kind of demand as last year’s new Nexus phone or tablet, or even the Chromecast ITS little brother. But if you’d like to buy it somewhere aside from the Google Play Store, today you can. The set-top box Has Its retail debut this weekend, starting with the usual suspects in the United States: Amazon, Newegg, and Best Buy. Impulse buyers, only the Latter will let you pick one up in-store
If you’d like to pick one up ASAP, I’d recommend Avoiding Amazon. At the moment it looks like the only ones Offering the Nexus Player on The enormous online retailer are third-party sellers, Who Have Given it a considerable markup (presumably due to scarcity) and do not offer Amazon Prime shipping. Best Buy is selling it at the standard $ 99.99 price, though oddly there’s no shipping available – this is Strictly for in-store pickup. If there are no Best Buys anywhere near you, Newegg offers the same price with free standard shipping. Both outlets Also have the $ 39.99 ASUS Bluetooth gamepad, Which is Necessary for playing games on Android TV.
Personally, I’d recommend holding off on a purchase right now. Razer’s slick-looking Forge TV set-top box is slated to launch sometime soon, and it has the same price tag for a device with a faster Snapdragon 805 processor and 2GB of RAM (double That of the Nexus Player), plus some additional software to enable streaming PC games. The sold-separately accessories With With it’s paired will probably be better too, though they’ll be quite pricey. If you’re in the market for a new television, Sony and Sharp Announced Both high-end Android smart TVs TV With built in at CES.
Expect the Nexus Player to expand to new retailers over the next few weeks. Given the lukewarm response to the new hardware, It Might go on sale sooner than most gadgets. Still on the fence? . Make sure to read our review
