For those who want more than just Chromecast, the Nexus Player is a great video streaming alternative.

What the Nexus Player offers is a sizable library entertainment, available on the spot for your HDTV. Sporting 1080p full HD resolution and working on Wi-Fi, the gadget is a great addition to a film buff's home. The device also allows users to take mobile device content, iOS included, and enjoy it on the biggest screen in the house.

The tempting offer from Groupon gives buyers the chance to buy an ASUS Nexus Player for the same price as the 2nd generation Chromecast that was recently announced. The reduced price tag for a Nexus Player is $39.99, but the even better news is that by using VISA5 as coupon code the price can go as low as $37.99. Considering that the standard price for the set top box is around $100, this cut just might be one of the best pre-Black Friday hits.

Even if reviews give a good rating to the Nexus Player, its default price still makes Chromecast the more popular option thanks to its default price of $35 and a solid marketing campaign backed by Google.

As a reminder, the Nexus Player has the following specs:

  •  Remote control with voice search
  •  Intel Atom Imagination PowerVR Series 6 graphics 2D/3D engine
  •  1.8GHz quad-core processor
  •  8GB onboard storage
  •  1GB RAM system memory
  •  HDMI with 1080p full-HD (1920×1080 x 60Hz)
  •  Bluetooth 4.1
  •  Wi-Fi 802.11ac 2×2 (MIMO)
  •  Google Cast supported operating systems: Android 2.3 and higher, iOS 7 and higher, Windows 7 and higher, Mac OS 10.7 and higher.
  •  Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system (OS)
  •  Chrome OS v.38 and higher
  •  MicroUSB 2.0

For the system to fit perfectly in your living room, it requires an HDTV with HDMI input, an HDMI cable and an Internet Wi-Fi exclusive connection.

The price trim of the Nexus Player makes it a great gift for family or friends, and saying that it is a limited edition is not far from the truth. Groupon notes that only a limited quantity of devices are available at this attractive price, and more than a thousand have aold already.

Groupon deals are as evanescent as they are attractive, so you might want to hurry to buy your Nexus Player at a great price. This offer expires on Friday, Nov. 6.
