[UPDATE] Pre-Paid Verizon Moto G packaging appears, just a $100??

The Motorola Moto G is an extremely attractive device. The price is set perfectly for consumers who want something that is nice, fast and affordable. Judging from what we have heard and seen from around the G+ universe, it is being received very well. It really is a big win for Motorola. With the device already being sold for a $179 base price, it is hard not to get one ‘just because,’ Â but what if it was less?

A recent image has surfaced on G+ from Josue Joseph that shows a no contract prepaid packaged Moto G blister package stamped with Verizon. While we don’t have ‘official’ confirmation or announcement from Verizon, it is pretty clear that it is coming. Â Josue notes that the price “looks like” just $100 off-contract. Making it even more attractive. If Verizon does pull down the Moto G off-contract for $100, we can see it flying off the shelves in a hurry. Heck, even I would be forced to get one ‘just because’ at that price.

UPDATE: Looks like January 9th in Best Buy is the launch time for this bad boy. No additional confirmation on the price tag though.

UPDATE2: A friend of ours shot us an image of the same retail packaging, but this time on the shelf. Looks like the $100 price tag for the 8GB model rings true. Thanks Dan!
