Google's upcoming Chromecast with Google TV—one of the worst-kept secrets ahead of the company's event—has already surfaced in select retail stores. A Reddit user first got hands-on access, sharing comprehensive details about the device.
Tech journalists from outlets like The Verge have confirmed purchases at major chains including Home Depot and Walmart, even though Google hasn't made an official announcement.
Availability varies by location, as not every store has broken street date. For instance, The Verge checked two Home Depot stores and found it only at one.
Receipts from Home Depot list it as "SABRINA-ABBEY ROCK CANDY," validating the long-rumored Sabrina codename.
The device retails for $50 at stocking locations, aligning with leaks from Reddit. This is likely the final price when Google unveils it on September 30.
To score one, visit local Home Depot or Walmart stores—online options aren't available yet.
Leaks have revealed nearly everything: 4K support, HDR, a full Google TV interface, and more. This promises to be an exceptional streaming device.
The new Chromecast is here early for the lucky few, and we're eager to see its full potential.
