Nvidia Shield TV Pro sees surprise 50% price hike
Original: 7-year-old Nvidia Shield TV Pro gets shocking 50% price hike driven by AI memory shortage The Shield TV Pro remains one
Nvidia has raised the price of its aging Shield TV Pro streaming box by around 50%, pushing it to $299.99 — far above its original launch price. The increase is being blamed on the AI-driven memory shortage, which has sent RAM prices soaring across the tech industry. Commenters note the irony of a seven-year-old device becoming more expensive, and see the move as a sign of how tightly AI demand is squeezing consumer electronics supply.
Why now: The AI memory shortage is now visibly raising prices of older consumer devices, which strikes readers as unusual and newsworthy.
