Figured this was worth sharing as the pink (Sunrise; in time for Mother's Day) and blue (Sky) models are also available at the sale price, along with the regular white (Snow).
Google One members get a whopping 3% ($2.67) cash back store credit, awarded in 15 days (after the returns period has ended).
Now $88 at officeworks too
OW offering in white, whereas Google have the other 2 colours, just saying if it matters.
Big W have the same White version for the same Google price; https://www.bigw.com.au/product/google-chromecast-with-googl…
Yep. I was looking at Google Store early last week as I wanted the pink for mum. Decided to wait; came back and $10 cheaper. The unit is of course behind the TV for most people, but the remote is coloured too.
Minus the $2.67 if you're a Google One user (I have it for Drive and Photos back up) makes it $86.33.
@N1ghthawk: Ah. I had to do some digging. :P So, it turns out it's not "cash back". I read "get 3% back" and assumed as much.
It's 3% store credit, rewarded after the returns period (15 days) expires.
$84.55 with 5% off eBay Plus code
Also $88 at HN (could use the $20 gift card from the Switch deal if you got that).
Weren't these sold with Netflix subscription?
Yeah they were but it was $129 from memory? Still though was a 6 month subscription so used to be a much better deal.
Does this have any significant features over a telstra tv (which I claimed a few weeks ago)
Can access more apps, Telstra has a limited library. But if it has everything you want, don't worry about it. Probably a bit faster loading too.
What are the thoughts on this and Amazon fire stick max ? If I already have an android tv
Was going to say the same, amazon is much cheaper too.
Google tv
Good news :
"This YouTube Premium 3 month free trial promotion is open to participants in Australia who purchase and activate a Google Nest Mini, Nest Audio, Nest Hub, Nest Hub Max, Chromecast, Chromecast with Google TV or Nest Wifi point before 16th January 2022 at 5:59am AEST"
So good for anyone with access to a Tardis.
Where did you see/find that? I don’t recall seeing anything about a YT Premium offer.
I have both this and an Apple TV. On some days when I decide to use an app on Google TV, it’s the most slowest and takes ages to scroll. Apple TV is fast and seamless, no apps freezing or having to go through hoops to close an app. I would definitely pay about $100 and something more to get Apple TV if you can. Luckily I only got it for $1, so can’t complain.
Had a terrible experience ordering with this one - ordered April 29th, and it didn't arrive in time for Mothers day. Contact for the google store is almost impossible, you get stuck in FAQ's that do nothing.
I'm blaming Star Track just as much though - that's the carrier they are using. So beware.
That’s a shame. I also ordered 29th and it arrived on the 3rd. Also via Star Track, though I agree they are horrible. Had a different parcel arrive 4 days after an “it’s coming today” notification.
Google nest mini is also on sale for $49. Or $47 at target and officeworks.
