HTC kicks off new holiday promotion by offering Nexus 9 tablet for 50% off (update: sold out)

Update (11/4 12:15pm): The 50% deal is now sold out, but you can still save $50 on a 16GB or 32GB model.

(note: the discounted price will show after you get a Nexus 9 in your online shopping cart)

HTC is getting the holiday deal season underway with a bang. Starting right now, you can get the just-released Nexus 9 Android tablet for $199, which is 50% below the retail price of $399. That is an incredible deal.

Be warned, this deal is only available in limited quantities and we expect it sell out extremely fast. That being said, if you’re interested in this deal then you should absolutely skip the rest of this post and start giving your credit card info to HTC as quickly as possible.

Those who get shut out on the initial 50% offer will still be able to save $50 on the 16GB or 32GB model through midnight ET tonight. Today’s deal is part of a larger holiday promotion by HTC that is set to feature a “hot deal” every Tuesday for the next 9 weeks.
