The Nexus Player was the first retail device powered by Android TV. This set-top box has been manufactured by ASUS and it runs on the relatively new platform from Google that’s aimed at taking over your living room. This device has only been sold through the Google Play Store ever since it was launched but that changes today. The Nexus Player is now available through U.S. retailers. Amazon, Newegg and Best Buy have the device in stock.
Both Amazon and Newegg will be selling the Nexus Player online only but retail chain Best Buy is going to have the device in stock at stores as well.
So there are multiple options now for customers who don’t want to purchase this device from Google Play Store. Customers looking to purchase from Amazon should keep in mind that the Nexus Player is being sold by third-party sellers at a higher price with no Amazon Prime shipping.
Best Buy is selling it for the right price, $99.99, but isn’t offering shipping right now and will only let customers pick it up in stores. Only Newegg is offering the same price with free standard shipping. Both retailers have the $39.99 Bluetooth gamepad from ASUS in stock as well which is required for playing games on an Android TV device.
Its likely that the Nexus Player will be available at even more retailers down the line so there will be plenty of locations to pick it up from in the near future.
