If you’re looking to get into Android TV, then it might be worth heading in to Harvey Norman where they currently have the Nexus Player on-sale for just $108.
The player isn’t the highest end of device, which we found in our review, meaning that gaming isn’t fantsastic, but it is fantastic for playing videos.

If you’re in the market, head into a Harvey Norman store near you, or if there isn’t one near, you can get one delivered in 2-3 days for as low as $5.95. Head over to the Harvey Norman website to check it out.
