So of course, the buyer posted an image of his new hardware on r/google.
In a post titled "I think I got the 3rd gen Chromecast too early," GroveStreetHomie told the story of how he walked into a Best Buy and saw the new box sitting on the shelves. It initially didn't scan, but the register employee used a barcode for an older Chromecast to allow him to purchase the updated version.
GroveStreetHomie said that the new Chromecast is slightly thicker and noted a few aesthetic and design updates in his post. Google hasn't yet responded to Mashable's request for comment.
