Upon our initial review of the NVIDIA Shield TV Stick, it was clear that this device was easily one of the best at providing an excellent streaming and gaming experience. Even though it's been about two years since its release, this 4K streaming media player is "still the best Android TV box you can buy in 2021" and thanks to a sale that's set to last for just this week only, you can snag one at nearly its best price in history for a limited time.
Through August 22, Amazon has the NVIDIA Shield TV Stick on sale for just $129.99. Today's deal saves you $20 off its usual price of $150 and brings the device just $1 above the lowest it's ever reached there. You can also find this offer at Best Buy while supplies last.
