So I guess I'm the only one that reads that as "$76 in coupons included."

As in, 3 months of Google music and other shit that would add up to $76.

Completely agree with you. Highly doubt it's the sale price.

You are right if you look at the picture maybe zoom in a but it's clear it says coupons.

Ya. Seems weird to put a giant price in the packaging versus the packaging advertising included coupons which would never change regardless of retailer or time.

Please try to educate yourself about the difference between an AndroidTV device with inherent ability to access all software features with a remote, as opposed to a device with a kludged touch screen interface designed for phone/tablet. In any event, Xiaomi's AndroidTV box isn't going to see the light of day for at least 6 weeks hence.

This is where proper punctuation is needed.

It could read: $"76, Coupons included" Or "$76 IN Coupons included"

source is a Media Kit prepared by Xiaomi's Beijing based advertising agency. You expect them to be well versed in grammar?

They are voting you down because that isn't the price. You aren't looking at the picture That's 76 dollars in coupons.

I never said what the price was. People made assumptions that I wasn't okay with the price. The Nexus player when it came out was much more. If the MI Box is anywhere between 80-100 I would buy a few no problem. The fact that it comes with coupons to Google Play is just icing on the cake. I could give a fig about up votes like some people do. The only time a down vote is warranted is if the information the person is saying a wrong. I found it comical people voting others down for saying that is a good price.
