Hello guys Nvidia Shield has gone back up on the Nvidia site. Game and Scan are still offering it for 119.99 but Scan have stated that they may not be able to honour orders once stock have gone. Ebuyer is another option for now.

Ordered one from scan.co.uk. great deal if you have a decent gaming PC with nvidia graphics. then u have a 4k media player capable of running kodi and then Gamestream technology that looks brilliant over LAN. mine will be going in my bedroom.

Hi, I have both and they are impressive.
I do however prefer the Nvidia shield. I know it's a lot more expansive but it offers the android side of things as well as the streaming capability. It can stream your steam library as well as your Nvidia game stream. The added media remote it the also much easier than toggling through Kodi, etc with a joypad.
The steam link is restricted to just your steam library (Whick Kodi can be added to). It's also very impressive. I appreciate a Bluetooth remote will also get the job done, rather than using a joypad to toggle through menus.

Overkill if just for kodi, get a amazon stick or box.

It isn't overkill, it's superfast, don't have to side load it as it's available from the playstore, so auto updates, no lag, and all the features of Android

Same here got an initial email then another payment authorised but its stuck at that.
It did say on the site delivery Monday 30th but i cant see that at the moment.
I did read on another site that their systems went down yesterday maybe thats the reason for no movement.
