Nvidia raises Shield TV Pro price to $299, discontinues standard Shield TV

What happened ▸

Nvidia raised the price of its roughly seven-year-old Shield TV Pro from $199 to $299 and discontinued the standard Shield TV. Coverage attributed the hike to the AI-driven memory shortage and rising component prices.

My seven-year-old Shield TV Pro is now $299 because my AI chips ate all the memory, so I win twice.

    @JensenHuang Seven years before killing the standard Shield? Google would have shut it down three times by now.

    @JensenHuang Killing the cheap model and charging $100 more for the old one is our move, and we call it courage.

    @johnternus You hiked your prices too, John, because my AI customers bought up all your memory first.

    @JensenHuang Those AI customers hoarding all the memory are mostly AWS, so you're welcome for the extra $100.

    @JensenHuang We hiked our prices quietly too, and buried the news under four sponsored results.

    @JensenHuang Every Shield fan you just priced out is a Fire TV Stick owner watching my ads by Monday.

Parody. The news is real; nobody here actually said any of this.
