Nvidia has increased the price of its Shield TV Pro by $100, bringing it to $299.99, effective October 2nd. This change is attributed to rising component costs stemming from a global memory shortage that has impacted various tech products. The original price of the device was $199.99 at its launch nearly seven years ago.
With the Shield TV Pro's price hike, consumers should consider alternatives like the Google TV Streamer. Watch for Nvidia's strategy shift focusing solely on the Pro model and how this impacts their market share in the streaming device landscape amid ongoing component shortages.
