Nvidia announces Shield Black Friday bundle

by on25 November 2014



Freebies for tablet and console buyers

Nvidia is offering a new Shield Black Friday bundle with the purchase of Shield Tablet or Shield Portable devices, with a few titles and free hardware.

The Shield tablet bundle is priced at $399, which includes a 32GB LTE tablet, Shield controller, Green Box Bundle and Nvidia GRID access. The total value of the bundle at regular prices is $488. In case you missed it, we already talked about the Green Box Bundle earlier this month. The bundle includes Half Life 2, Half Life 2 Episode 1 and Portal, optimized for the Shield.

The Shield Portable console is bundled with free GRID access, carrying case and glossy black armour. You don't get as many freebies as with the tablet, but this bundle costs $199, down from $199+.

The Portable is a niche device and it may not appeal to a lot of mainstream users, but at $199 it is inching into impulse buy territory. The Shield Tablet has a bit more mainstream appeal and at $399 with LTE and a range of other goodies, it sounds like a fair deal even if you're not a compulsive gamer. Last but not least, it is one of a handful of Android 5.0 devices on the market.
