Best Buy offering $100 gift card and free Chromecast if you pre-order a Pixel and activate on Verizon

The Pixel and Pixel XL are now up for pre-order in the U.S., with the 32GB Pixel retailing for $649 and the Pixel XL starting at $769. Best Buy is set to roll out a launch promotion wherein the retailer will offer a $100 gift card and a Chromecast 2015 for free to all customers pre-ordering the Pixel and Pixel XL and activating them on Verizon.

The deal isn't live yet, so you'll have to wait a while before you can pre-order either handset from Best Buy. The promotion doesn't include the Daydream VR headset that is bundled with all pre-orders from the Google Store and Verizon, but the $100 gift card and Chromecast more than makes up for it.

If you're looking for an unlocked option, the Google Store is still your best bet for getting the Pixel and Pixel XL.
