Google TV Streamer Gets Substantial Price Increase
Key Points:
- The Google TV Streamer, a streaming device unchanged since its 2024 launch, has seen a significant price increase from $99.99 to $149.99 on the Google Store.
- This price hike affects both Porcelain and Hazel color options and has also been reflected at Best Buy, though Amazon's price remains at $99 for now.
- There have been no announced improvements or changes to the device to justify the price increase.
- The likely cause of the price rise is attributed to RAM and chip shortages, possibly linked to increased demand from AI-related hardware needs.
- Consumers interested in purchasing the device may want to buy soon before other retailers match the new higher price.
