Great news for mobile gamers, as the NVIDIA Shield has already been reduced $50 from its original price tag. That small Android portable gaming console will now cost users $300 instead of $350 when it hits retail shelves on June 27th.
NVIDIA explained the new, lower price and release date in a blog post today which credited gamers who asked for a lower price point. Kudos to NVIDIA to listening and acting on real consumer feedback.
“We’ve heard from thousands of gamers that if the price was $299, we’d have a home run,” the post reads.
