With the launch of yet another promo for Chromecast, Google expects that the new free stuff being offered will help to wean away customers from Apple TV and its reasonably-priced streaming dongle. Any customer purchasing a new Chromecast between now and April 19 will get freebies worth $80 in total.

According to Tech Radar, the freebies offered by Google include a three-month subscription to Google Play Music, one month's Qello Concerts, three months of DramaFever, three additional months of Sesame Street GO, in addition to a movie rental from Google Play Movies.

Meanwhile, Engadget speculates that Google may possibly be hoping to increase its user base with a view to help securing partnerships with various content providers - something that Apple did with HBO.

It may possibly be a coincidence that Google's Chromecast promo comes at a time when Apple has slashed the price of Apple TV. Since Google may find it difficult to slash the price of Chromecast, which is already very low, the latest offers from Google may be the Mountain View, California-based tech titan's equivalent to Apple TV price slash.

As of now, there is nothing that suggests the above mentioned hypothesis. However, but it is very likely that Google may be having some major content-related announcement(s) in store for the upcoming Google IO 2015. In fact, the promo could be a strategy by Google to lure in some additional users before the event.

Accessing Chromecast Promotional Offers

Meanwhile, Google has stated in its official website that it may take up to one week after the purchase of Chromecast for an offer to appear when they check for offers on their Chromecast. It has further stated that if a customer does not see an offer he/ she believe they qualify for after one week of their purchase, they ought to contact Google. Customers having trouble in redeeming their promotion code may contact the partner offering the promotion.
