Vizio’s Google TV Enabled Co-Star Is A Hit – Sells Out In Less Than 12 Hours (If Only Google Had More Faith In The Platform)
It was only 2 days ago pre-orders for the Google TV-enabled Vizio Co-Star went live and today we’re learning that the mini set top sold out in less than 12 hours. Vizio took to their Google+ page to announce the good news, as well as let everyone know that a 2nd round of pre-orders are officially available. We expect the second batch to sell out equally as fast.
I guess you could consider this the first real hit for the Google TV platform which hasn’t exactly been attracting consumers like flies on honey. In fact, after today’s huge announcement of Google Fiber — Google’s new broadband service — you’d be hard pressed to find any mention of Google’s red-headed step child anywhere. Funny too, seeing as how — oh, I don’t know — the launching of a new cable service seemed like a pretty good time to plug Google TV and maybe even throw in a set top (instead of the Nexus 7 remote). But I digress…
Anyone manage to get a pre-order in for the Vizio Co-Star? Anyone planning on pre-order/buying it once it’s finally available?
