Well, that didn't last long. After going up for pre-order on the Play Store yesterday, the Nexus Player is now showing out of stock, although it may not just be just a case of the device being sold out. An update on the device's product page suggests that the Android TV box is not yet approved for sale in the US by the FCC.

This device has not been approved by the Federal Communications Commission. It is not for sale until approval of the FCC has been obtained.

At this time, Google hasn't mentioned as to when it will receive the regulatory signoff necessary to sell the Nexus Player in the country, as the process is based on the FCC. We'll let you know as we hear more on the matter. The setback will not affect the launch of the device in other territories.

What are your thoughts on the delay of the Nexus Player?
