Is the proper capitalization Nvidia, NVIDIA, or nVidia? Whatever the case, Nvidia Shield, the PC streaming/Android handheld gaming console has dropped to $199 with free shipping at the Nvidia Store. Originally launched in July 2013 for $299, prices on the Shield dropped to $250 during Black Friday. Here we are about 4 months later and gamers will have another shot at this nifty gadget. Along with the price drop the Shield also received several recent upgrades to the GameStream function, an Android 4.4 KitKat update, and all around UI improvements.
Beyond the official Nvidia Store, you’ll also find the Nvidia Shield priced at $199 at Best Buy, GameStop (though GameStop is charging a $8 shipping fee), and Newegg. Gamers looking to save a little bit more may want to grab the handheld at Newegg, which comes out to $180 if you use a special V.me by Visa coupon 20% off coupon: VMEMADNESS — take note that you must use the V.me by Visa checkout in order to qualify for this coupon.
Another hot hardware deal this week is an unexpected $50 price drop on the Xbox One console from various retailers (a mini price war of sort?). Recently released and highly touted “Titanfall Edition” has also been slashed from $500 to $450. The Titanfall Edition includes the standard console, 1 month Xbox LIVE Gold, and a free digital copy of Titanfall. You’ll find this deal at Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon — but thus far we’re seeing Best Buy having the most stability in stock and pricing.
For fans of the Elder Scrolls series, keep an eye out next week Friday April 4th as the MMO Elder Scrolls Online will make its debut. If you can’t wait for that date, preordering the Imperial Edition at will get you a 5-day head head start (Sunday, March 30th) in addition to a slew of other preorder bonuses. At Green Man Gaming there’s also a 20% off coupon code, dropping the Imperial Edition from $79.99 to $64. The same discount applies to the Standard Edition, slashing that price from $59.99 to $48 – though preordering the Standard Edition will only get you a 3-day head start.
Our last noteworthy deal of the week includes a freebie offer with no catches, coupons, or mail in rebates to deal with: today the original zombies-in-space horror PC game Dead Space is free on Origin.. Even if you’re not a fan of the EA’s DRM platform, it’s hard to argue with the price of zero dollars. The game will remain free until May 8th.
