The Nvidia Shield TV Is 7 Years Old. It Just Got a $100 Price Hike
The price of anything with memory is skyrocketing thanks to AI. Aging streaming devices are no exception.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets center on the same basic point: the seven-year-old Nvidia Shield TV Pro now costs $299.99, which they frame as a roughly $100 or 50% increase. Ars Technica and Tom's Hardware both foreground AI as the driver, while Wired is broader, treating the Shield as one example of memory-linked prices rising. Tom's Hardware alone calls the jump a "shocking" 50% hike and Ars Technica alone specifies the device was initially launched in 2019.
