Nvidia Shield Shipping This Month

by

The Nvidia Shield, which was originally set for release on June 27th, will be shipping on July 31st. The handheld gaming device was delayed due to a mechanical issue with one of the components. The issue has finally been fixed and shipments will be under way very soon. The Nvidia Shield will cost $299 for a limited time, after this the price will be raised (as if $299 wasn’t enough!)
