Google’s dongle line-up is currently on sale with a $5 discount at retailers like Best Buy and through the Google Store. The dongles I’m talking about are the Chromecast and Chromecast Audio of course, two products from Google that turn TVs and speakers into Cast-ready devices for modern day stream-a-thons. With a $5 discount, you are looking at spending just $30 for each.
Not sure what a Chromecast does? Please leave now. I’m kidding!
A Chromecast is a device that plugs into your TV, allowing you to stream content from your phone or a computer to that TV. You can toss up some YouTube clips, movies from a variety of services, music from just as many more, and even play games through them with friends. It’s one of the best pieces of technology that Google has released in recent years, especially at the price. The Chromecast Audio is similar, only its an audio-only product.
The deal ends on May 29.

I’ve been needing a new Chromecast for ages now but they are just too expensive I’ve even waiting for a price drop. Finally I can afford one! Yay!
Wait, $35 was “just too expensive” but a price drop of $5 and now you “can afford one!”
WTF man???
Haha you appropriately summed up my response to this article 😉
I just picked up another CC Audio yesterday with this deal. I love the new multi-room grouping feature, but a little pissed it doesn’t work with the CC HDMI.
But CC Audio doesn’t have an HDMI port.
What I was trying to say is that I am pissed that you can’t group a full Chromecast Video with a Chromecast Audio. I have a regular Chromecast on my big stereo A/V system in my living room and I have CC Audios on my kitchen and backyard stereos, and I want to be able to group all 3 of them together. As is now I would have to buy another CC audio to put alongside my regular CC on my big stereo which is silly.
Dammit I just bought one for my mom for mothers day. She loves it and was pretty amazed at what she could do with it.
