"Nvidia says its Shield portable gaming system will be ready to ship on July 31, after more than a month of delays.\nNvidia began taking preorders for the console in late May, promising a June 27 delivery. The company then announced a problem with a third-party manufacturer and said shipping would be delayed.\nSee also: Android Gaming Consoles: The Ultimate Guide\nIn a note sent Sunday to people who placed preorders, Nvidia apologized for the delay.\n\nWe want to thank you for your patience and for sticking with us through the shipment delay of your SHIELD. We have great news to share with you - your SHIELD will ship on July 31st.\nOur goal has always been to ship the perfect product, so we made sure we submitted SHIELD to the most rigorous mechanical testing and quality assurance standards in the industry. We built SHIELD because we love playing games, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.\n\nThe Shield was revealed at CES this year as \"Project Shield\", a handheld device using the Tegra 4 mobile processor. It's a 5-inch touchscreen combined with a game controller that looks inspired by modern console controllers, and runs Android's Jelly Bean operating system.\nThe Shield comes with a $299 price tag, after being discounted from $349, and Nvidia's site or Newegg are still accepting preorders.  It will also be on shelves at Gamestop, Micro Center and Canada Computers in the United States and Canada.\nImage: Nvidia"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
