It was just last week that NVIDIA reduced the price of the Shield to $299 and set tomorrow as the release date. Unfortunately it didn’t pass the final quality test as a “mechanical issue that relates to a third party component” was revealed.
“During our final QA process, we discovered a mechanical issue that relates to a 3rd party component. We want every SHIELD to be perfect, so we have elected to shift the launch date to July. We’ll update you as soon as we have an exact date.”
For now, it’s delayed until July, but no exact date was given. NVIDIA is working around the clock with the supplier to rectify the situation. I know this is bad news for some of you, but give credit to NVIDIA for making this move now. It certainly shows they are committed to releasing a product that meets the highest possible standards. We will update you as soon as a new date is announced.
