A new deal on the Google Chromecast streaming stick has been announced. For a limited time, buyers receive a $20 Google Play credit when they purchase a Chromecast for $29.99, creating an effective price of only $9.99 for the device.
One of the most popular new technology devices in 2014 was the media streaming stick. Plugged into the HDMI port of your TV set, the stick allows streaming of media content via numerous services, such as Netflix, YouTube, HBO GO, Hulu Plus, Pandora, Crackle, ESPN, MLB.TV, and Google Play Movies & TV. The competition in 2014 was fierce among the big three devices released during the year, the Google Chromecast, the Amazon Fire Stick, and the Roku.
All of the sticks have their advantages and disadvantages, for example the Amazon has better specs and comes with a dedicated remote as opposed to the Chromecast, but they all perform the same basic function which is to allow you to easily stream movies and other content through the device and onto your screen. During the holiday season, there were great discounts on both the Fire Stick and Chromecast which reduced the price of each to just $24, but the newest deal for 2015 at Best Buy beats them all.
When you purchase a Google Chromecast for $29.99 at Best Buy, you'll receive a credit of $20 from Google Play. That reduces the effective price of the Chromecast to just $9.99. Considering the device normally retails at $34.99, this is a great deal, so if you've been considering purchasing a streaming media stick, now may be the time to take the plunge.
To get the deal, purchase the Chromecast on Best Buy's website for $29.99. You will then receive a unique code via email, which you can then redeem at the Chromecast website to receive your Google Play credit. If you want to save on shipping costs, just select the store pickup option and visit your nearest Best Buy to receive your device. While the Google Play credit is useable on anything Google Play has to offer, a good place to start of course would be to stream media purchased from Google Play on your new Chromecast.
