Just noticed that BestBuy matched the recent price-drop at Walmart on both models:

$20 HD model at BestBuy:

$40 4K model at BestBuy:

$20 HD model at Walmart:

$40 4K model at Walmart:

I'm not sure how much this is a SlickDeal, and maybe just new price... so this is more of just an FYI or heads-up than anything.

FWIW, I think the current 'sale' prices are the right/correct price for these.

I've been CCwGTV since the beginning (so I paid a lot more for my 4k model back then, lol), and while it's still my favorite streaming device (I have all the major ones but AppleTV) the only thing that kills it for me is the crap (read: lack of) storage... although this is usually glossed over by actual fanboys/fangirls, who push back (correctly and truthfully) that you can overcome the storage limitation by rigging up a Rube Goldberg device of a USB hub and a tangle of additional cords/cables.

I would pay more for a model with more/additional 'on-board' storage, but... I'm also not sure that enough people would to make it profitable for Google to do so.

If you do decide to go CCwGTV (either HD or 4K), the Reddit sub is very helpful:
https://www.reddit.com/r/CCwGTV/​ [reddit.com]

If you're a gamer, these used to be a little more useful (until the recent closure of Google Stadia), but I still use my CCwGTV device to stream+play via nVidia GeForce Now (GFN) when I'm traveling.
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

$40 was the release price for the 4k version.

Edit: To those who don't believe me. https://imgur.com/a/e9XaDjQ
I have these on the TVs mainly for mirroring the Quest 2 so everyone can play along with Among Us VR.

However keep in mind that if you use it for this purpose, ethernet is going to be your best bet. And to get ethernet on this, it takes a USB C hub WITH ethernet and WITH 20+ watt pass through charging.

This will smooth out all your streaming and casting, but it does create something of a mess behind the TV.
The processors are different. 4K runs 4x ARM Cortex-A55 @ 1.91 GHz and HD runs
4x ARM Cortex-A35 @ 1.2 GHz. 4K is faster, but that's not the whole picture. The HD's processor is newer and has AV1 codec support, which is more efficient than H265.

nice, so does it control tv power and volume like the Roku? I do like the screenshots of the interface and it looks like it shows multiple streaming services in a single menu which is nice.

Yes, it does, either by IR or CEC, if your TV supports it. For my Samsung TV, the reverse is also true. I can use my Samsung TV remote arrow buttons to navigate GTV menu

For app issues in Chromecast when they may error out, it's usually a cache corruption issue. Just go to apps management, clear data for cache and try launching again.

Don't clear all data or you will lose your login information to that app. That and a device reboot will typically solve 90% of issues.

The Chromecast device is great because cec and the ir universal remote really give practical value over many other streaming devices.

Just because you got a deal doesn't mean that's the release price.
