Google Home is now officially hitting shelves here and there and is ready to ship out.
Previously, the Google Assistant-powered speaker was only available for preorder at the Google Store, but now, interested customers can go ahead and order one for immediate shipping or head on over to select retail stores in the United States.
Where To Buy Google Home?
Aside from purchasing the Google Home at the Google Store, anyone can help themselves to it at Best Buy, Target and Walmart for $129.

Interestingly enough, it's not available on Amazon, and it doesn't look like it will be up for grabs there anytime soon. That shouldn't come as much of a surprise, though, as the retailer's Echo and Alexa rival Google Home and Assistant.
It's also worth mentioning that Google's virtual assistant could be considered more vibrant compared with the likes of Alexa and Siri, and that's because the Mountain View company hired the comedy writers of Pixar and The Onion to make it lively. That means users can expect a zinger or two from time to time or a joke now and then.
For a closer look, we have a comparison between Google Assistant and Siri.
What Else Is In Store? YouTube Red
To make the pot sweeter than it already is, Google is also throwing in a six-month subscription to YouTube Red free of charge.

For those who aren't that familiar with what the service brings to the table, we have a comparison that puts it against other competitors on the market, including Netflix and Hulu, to name a few.
The Bottom Line
To sum things up, Google Home is available via the Google Store, and it can be nabbed straight away or online at Best Buy, Target and Walmart for $129.
