Nexus 7 2013 Model to Ship With a $25 Google Play Gift Card
Those looking to purchase the Nexus 7 2013 model could do so in the Google Play store and receive a $25 gift card for the interactive market.
Google will run this new promotion "for a limited period" that will also give buyers of the device free shipping for any version of the popular tablet including Wi-Fi and cellular models. This promo is called the "holiday special" so it could end up continuing to the end of the year.
Once the Nexus 7 ships, buyers will receive an email with a code that can be redeemed in the Play Store for credit. The $25 can be used for various media including apps, movies, TV shows, music, books, or magazines. However, it cannot be used for hardware.
Various retailers began running promotions on the new Nexus 7 earlier this month.
The 32GB Nexus 7 2013 model price has been dropped to $239 through the online retailer Newegg.com.
The device normally sells for $269 in the Google Play store. Amazon is also running a promotion where it is offering the tablet for this same price.
Both retailers have the device in stock, however, Newegg set a one per person limit rule.
There are also deals on the 16GB Nexus model with Amazon selling the device for $218.67. Newegg offers it at its regular price.
Staples ran a promotion where it was offering up to $50 off any tablet in their inventory which included the Nexus 7 models and the Nexus 10.
The Nexus 7 (2013) was released shortly before the summer of this year and introduced Android 4.3 JellyBean to the market. It features impressive specs including a 7-inch 1920x1200 HD display, 2GB RAM, a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 16/32GB of internal storage, built-in wireless charging, and a 5-megapixel rear camera.
