Nvidia's Shield
A new kind of open gaming device needs a new kind of development process
Rather than being secretive about SHIELD and what it can do, we decided to bring gamers in on the conspiracy, announcing our plan to bring a portable gaming device with console-class controls and a high-def 5-inch screen to market in January at the Consumer Electronics Show
Most of all, we wanted this device to be open and provide the best possible experience—whether you’re playing Android or PC games, or enjoying your favorite movies, music, and other apps on the go
Since then, we’ve put SHIELD in the hands of thousands of gamers. Some have been professional press. Others have been inside our own company. But most have been people like the tens of thousands who streamed through our booth at PAX East and E3
The result: while SHIELD isn’t available until June 27th – we’re making that official today – it’s already grabbed awards by the fistful – including dozens of ‘Best of Show’ awards at CES, Computex and E3
Now it’s time for one more change
We’ve heard from thousands of gamers that if the price was $299, we’d have a home run
So we’re changing the price of SHIELD to $299
If you’ve already pre-ordered SHIELD, you’ll be charged the new, lower price. You will only be charged $299 when the product ships
We want to get SHIELD into the hands of as many gamers as possible
That’s because we think they’ll have the same reaction to it as thousands of gamers already have: joy
