Google TV Already In Trouble? Sony Offering 25% Off Blu-ray Google TV Units

Google TV might be in a bit of a pickle if a Best Buy and Sony sale is any indication. The platform launched a few weeks ago with the Logitech Revue and Sony Internet TV. Both are loaded with the same system and so both are suffering the fate of Big Media's blockade. It's a sad story, really. �Google TV aimed to bridge the span between subscription-based TV and Internet content, but so far said bridge is still held up by bureaucratic�red tape nonsense. Sony seems to be solving one of the platform's biggest deal breakers: the price. Google TV units are crazy expensive. The Logitech Revue launched at $300 and that price is still holding strong even at retailers like Amazon�amidst nearly site-wide�Black Friday sales. It's the Sony set-top box model that's uncharacteristically on sale right now even though it's less than a month old. This doesn't look��so�well for Google's living room takeover plans.
