Ordered £122. What's this item for?

Sorry didn't want to miss the deal. Lol

no idea what it is or what it does, but I bought one anyway. half price? damn....

Mate don't tell them if they are Daft enough to spend money on something And they don't know what it is they deserve it to be a double ended dildo :wink:

nice!

massive heat, top find, surely a mistake?

no idea what it is or what it does, but I bought one anyway. half price? damn....

It would be if it really was 500 terabytes! :smirk:

Amazon.de send orders to UK warehouse allot too.. RESULT if we get the UK version!

trying to resist, such a powerful box, such a good deal.

got one as soon as it was posted thanks but price gone back up now

edit: price is the same but when i click the link through my order it shows 299 euros :confused:

190 on UK amazon

It is still same price when click through on the link

Ordered £122. What's this item for?

Sorry didn't want to miss the deal. Lol

My delivery date is showing up as January 6th 2016!!

Ordered one thanks.

I cancelled the lightning deal I got earlier for the 16gb

doesn't include game controller

still very hot, just trying to talk myself out of cancelling my earlier Amazon order

My bad - includes game controller as pointed out by CBK

Nice one OP was on fence for 16gb.

Expected delivery: 30/12/2015 - 01/06/2016 said 2 days prior to order

VIDIA SHIELD 500 GB Android TV Box (inkl. SHIELD Controller)

Beat me to it... I ordered before I checked delivery date... Had already ordered from Nvidia... What to do...

Its worth the wait for me.

Price is back up to 299 now guys, good job to you OP. Nice little stocking filler.

happy days

Expected delivery 4th-11th Jan...

makes me think are they getting the delivery dates direct from nvidia once you order, as on the other thread its similar. Saying that as its showing as in stock on the UK site you might get it sooner

direct link to the 159 euro one

http://www.amazon.de/NVIDIA-SHIELD-Controller-Bluetooth-Fernbedienung/dp/B0171RCVEC/ref=dp_ob_title_vg

Just click get deal takes you straight to it.

30th dec to 6th jan del

Gotta be the bargain of the night so far?

ordered, hot from me

30th dec to 6th jan del

No rush here mate

had email confirmation for delivery between 30 dec n 6th jan lool

Is it still good for 159€... NO Idea what this is but you guys seem to think it's a great deal so thinking of buying it anyway

had confirmation email from 30 dec to 6th jan lool

Dont know if anyone has noticed on the link it takes you to the Nvidia Pro at 159 euros but once you pay and go into orders and click on the link in the order it takes you to the one for 299 euros and says you bought this product 27th november and then underneath a newer version is available for 159. Maybe this is the reason for the date being end of dec as that could be the new year sale price?? if it is then could be an error? Odd to see the other thread at 1147 degrees and this stuck at 99 degrees:|

I was just about to buy the 16gb one from Scan but I went for this because its such a good deal. Hope they honour it.

Can someone explain what this thing does please?

What did I buy?? I have no clue.. :disappointed:

can't say no at this price :smile:

Is it worth the wait? Thanks

Can this be used to stream live football or watch latest cinema releases as I've heard of something that does that. Not sure if it was android box or something

Mate don't tell them if they are Daft enough to spend money on something And they don't know what it is they deserve it to be a double ended dildo :wink:

I've not bought it yet but I'm daft enough to let you guys decide for me. Do I buy it or not lol?

Why can't they massively misprice something I actually want! Oh well, enjoy your Shield's guys.

WOW! Super hot

ordered was tempted to get the 16gb one earlier

Expected delivery: 30/12/2015 - 01/06/2016
Being prepared for shipping

you think its worth canceling the lightning deal from today ? how long do cancellations tend to take till money is returned ?

Thanks,saved me from buying it.
Not interested.

I take it the voice search won't work with kodi ?

Anyway to get prime instant on these? Only thing holding me off upgrading my fire stick atm

I need a Nvidia GPU for this to be useful I guess?

ordered, Massive saving on this! got it for £121 after exchange

Thanks for posting OP , 4k content and streaming from PC to any TV looks sweet .

P.S £117 if your card doesn't charge foreign fees (Thats £7 more than the price i paid earlier today for the 16GB version) This is so crazy!

This is a crazy deal.... have fun guys..

Install Kodi and with navi and genesis you're probably covered, for live tv ruya is the way to go... the channels are by no means official but I often find plenty of HD streams for big footie games..

It's a very beefy android TV device so if you do some research then it's really capable of a lot of things...

Anyone else thinking this may get a classic amazon cancellation as its not even marked as a lightning deal either

Bought this...wasn't even looking to buy for another couple of months, too good to miss.

Woo, ordered.

So, what does this actually do?

Has anyone checked the delivery date when selecting the "I want my items faster" option yet?...

Maybe it will be pre 2016?...

guys its with the remote and not the actual controller. Just install KODI

Doh! Went with the pay a bit more to get it quicker route. Remote shipping straight away then 500gb box arriving between 4th - 7th Jan :smile:

As its a delivery to a locker I Selected cancel order and it said that order cancelled as refused delivery , hopefully no more than 3 - 5 days

the 16gb on the nvidia site also says Starts shipping on Dec 30, 2015

absolute bargain! deal of the day!

i dont know what i bought, but seems like a good deal! Heat. Great find

I will be peed off if this gets cancelled since I have cancelled my 16gb order on the lightning deal.

I'll be contacting customer services if it does

I have just purchased. Still unsure why, because I hear the gaming lags?

I watched a few youtube videos and people stream games from their PCs to the Nvidia, which seems odd to me. I just want the Nvidia to be my only console, so I can just go on steam and purchase games?

bargain, ordered from game earlier, will have to cancel that one!

Hmmm. not convinced the controller is included? hope it is for all that have ordered. If so, cracking deal. real piece of gear thiis baby

aint this gonna have a euro plug though?

Thanks OP. Glad I held off from buying the earlier lightning deals for the 16GB model.

Also had a 10 Euro account specific voucher so cost me £114.62 as I paid in pounds. Had to look for the email containing the voucher as I deleted it - never expected to use it!

ok lads and ladies,hope it comes as a full package. :-)

Cancelled already :smile: Don't even have an Nvidia gpu would be better off just getting a steam link or something.

Translated on Crome:

NVIDIA SHIELD Pro (500 GB, incl. SHIELD Controller) + SHIELD Bluetooth Remote Control

Excellent find, heat added - Now to find a 4K Ultra HD to go with it :smiley:

No, look at the prices under all of them.

They're included in the Geforce Now membership which is 7.99 quid every month in the UK (if you want to subscribe).. and you got 3 month trial for free..

Right I've bought it now solely down to you

Bought! Thanks op

Thanks. Maybe the Original Poster should put this in comments for us newbies to Nvidia

Also would I need to fork out any more cash or is it all just downloadble etc from now on?

Looking into seems like something that can be useful if I manage to figure out how to do what I want to do with it which is mainly stream HD football and movies etc

bit confused?? You have already explained about adding KODI (whichever way the user chooses) then add your fav addons and you are good to go for almost anything. been a few IPTV that have been working well, but for how long, who knows.

in the title it says controller included, if does not, sending back
good find! thx

Most of them are free :smiley:

You'll want to install Kodi first, and then install some video addons: Phoenix, Genesis and Navi are most popular ones for TV shows, movies and live streams.. and if you google things like 'best Kodi add-ons' you'll find plenty which may suit your need, here's one example http://www.htpcbeginner.com/best-kodi-addons-2015-for-cordcutters/ and for live TV, I'm currently using this http://www.koditips.com/iptv-stalker-alternative-ccloud-live-tv/

Merry Christmas to me, can you side load games onto the hd? Never really looked at one until tonight. Heat:D

So with this item I will item need my PS4 for specific games? The ones Nvidia won't have.

Guessing everyone else will still buy a PS4 or Xbox one, what will you use your Nvidia device for mainly?

:confused: Just woke up for twilight slash but thought to come here & see this. Chuffin' Hell! This is even a hotter deal than what I bought earlier 16GB Amazon UK deal.

I got it for 117 using a Santander Zero card.

Great! Just bought one

And its got built in Chromecast as well to stream from your chrome browser or android device

Now 299 although looks like it's going to be a long wait to get one if it does materialise.

also just checked, no charge has been made on card, is this normal or charge will be made... ?

Thank you so much Sir :smiley:

Nope, link still at €159

And that makes two of us! I've already ordered the Nvida direct deal earlier and now this too!
Rude not to really for a couple of extra pounds... :wink:

Where have you got 299 from?
Its still 159 euros

They only stopped selling the card but if you got the deal originally it's yours.

GB, not TB

Can Sony PS3 controllers work on this ?

can you install show box on this

Just ordered the 16GB version from the NVIDEA store at £119.99. Not sure whether to cancel that and get this one...

ordered but cant see this being fulfilled, has to be a misprice as the 16gb version is the same price on the amazon.de site.
great find from the OP heat added and much appreciated

Would it be wise to buy this deal via Supercard by Travelex linked to my MBNA credit card to avoid foreign exchange charges? Never bought anything in Euros before on Amazon.de

Should I select GBP or EUR on payment page?

This is at 328degrees and not 'Hot' by HUKD standards, yet crap from 3-5 days ago is on the front page of the site as 'Black Friday picks'. What happened HUKD? If they aren't making any money from the aff links do they just bury the deals now??

if you use the link they've tried to fix it.
my receipt has the remote as a separate item.
click on the "newer version available" link and the deals still there !

Will be amazed if this goes through, already have a Pro as well as a 16gb but I'll shift on the 16gb if this turns up.

Random post to see if it gets honored.

In for a penny..... or is that ....

well given it a go, seems this version has borderlands : the pre-sequel included as a free download. showed as in stock but arriving 30th december.

299.99 :disappointed:

Back up in price now

Had one for 5 months now everything can be side loaded ,showbox, xbmc etc plug your headphones into the controller.
Emulators run full speed, external hard support on the usb 3.0 other controllers work if you flash a custom rom although the one that comes with it is brilliant. Regular been updated since I purchased it from America. everthing just works like it should.

Ach price gone back up

Bought 2. Thanks for the post.

don't forget to mention if you flash custom rom, you will loose the own controller support, sadly
but, you are right the shield controller just brilliant

Tut mir leid. Expired!

Managed to order it last night; won't be too fussed if it gets cancelled

The Bluetooth remote is already on the way I've been told. So pretty sure the order should be honoured

Wish I had not seen this thread, ordered the amazon uk lightening deal for the 16gb one, never thought I would feel so conned on what should have been a good deal but now feel like I have over paid for an inferior product, damn HUKD.

I'd cancel my order but they already shipped it despite me requesting 'no rush' delivery so I could think about it...

Hot for the few that got it, annoying as hell for all those who are stuck with the small one.

i ordered 2 and both remotes have shipped, its going to be pretty awkward if they dont ship the console!

missed out :disappointed:

Remote shipped :smile:

Yeah, I think I'm mostly angry at myself that I didn't keep on looking for better prices and that what I thought was a really special deal on amazon uk, wasn't all that special afterall compared to this one. I know it's probably a miss price but as far as I'm concerned if they honor it, which all indications are they will, then it's still a valid deal, albeit a short lived one.

The other annoyance is that shield TV 16GB has no upgrade potential, it will always be a 16GB as it lacks the ports to install a HDD later, you can stick usb drives and sd cards on it externally but it will only ever be external storage that Android typically handles badly and rarely lets you use for important stuff like installing apps. :disappointed:

Tempted to go on to Amazon and complain, I doubt they will do a thing but might make me feel a bit better. I know it was still a good deal by Amazon UK standards but why are our deals so much worse than their German site?

As you said, it was a mis price, very temporarily. There is still a high chance it won't be honoured or will be substituted. Also not delivering until NYE-Jan even if it does happen. I was gutted the Lightning deal sold out, so its swings and roundabouts.

£189 for the 500gb version on ebuyer, scan and game. I've ordered both 16gb from amazon and 500gb from ebuyer... I'm going to do a bit more reading on this and then send one back.

My concern is, as said above, that Android typically handles badly and rarely lets you use external storage for important stuff like installing apps.

Has anybody got one of those 3-D printers print some of the Nvidia stands off :wink:

The delivery time for this deal is next year...and that's not even guaranteed....so I won't be too mad about this.... I'll be more than happy to enjoy the UK lightning deal and have some fun during the holiday period.

Ordered one late last night. Bargain Price! Remote has been shipped which looked as if it was part of the deal as a whole, I selected them to be shipped separately so I'm hoping that as part of the deal was shipped they will have to honor the whole deal. I'm skeptical but hopeful!

I also made the order, got the email but the order still hasn't showed up on my account!!! Is it going to be cancelled?!?

order cancelled no email though but cancelled in account

i ordered at 12.47am

Order cancelled, received an email but no idea what it says as its all in german. damn :disappointed:

Just translated the email and it said "good news" we can ship your remote earlier, lol, bit too late now its cancelled...

Guess its just a matter of time then :disappointed: Damn

Sadly thats just for the remote portion, I got the same this morning.

ah crud :disappointed:

Mine's been cancelled by them..

Oh dear, is this German Black Ops 3 gate ?! :smile:

May i ask what time you guys ordered? ...


Disappeared from my orders too :disappointed:

I understand it's a misprice but I am annoyed because the only email I received was confirmation of the order, so was a very sly way to cancel it.

So odd, i ordered at 00:39!

12.48 I ordered

They might just be working there way through

Ten minutes after pushing the delivery date forward they cancelled. Ho hum.

I had the 'expected' graphic minutes before cancellation

i've had the email saying the remote will come next week, main unit still Jan

Sorry but did it read sooner than the estimate of 30 Dec - 4th Jan? Mine was on that until 5 minutes ago.

yes, they pushed it forward to 4th-5th December

mines been cancelled, raised it with amazon customer services how upset i am that they cancelled my order :-)

Damn, looks like no one will get it.

Ordered around 1:30am. Got cancelled half an hour ago. Just received an email saying it will be shipped sooner than expected. Ah well.

As per!

Even though I had a despatch email earlier today, just checked my account and it says my order has been cancelled.

They will all get cancelled next lol

Is that really it? Black Friday, we need another misprice to threat over! :smile:

yeah mine has been cancelled , doubt i'll get the 16gb for £110 again so a little bit peeved

might ask customer services to reissue my original order , as far as I was aware if was just a really good black friday deal :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes cancelled on mine now too

Right where do we find danandrews80 we need pitch forks fire and anger :wink:

surprised nobody "called them up and was told its not a genuine deal" that's a first

Odered 1.15am , i got 2 same emails about shipping sooner ( remote ) ,checked order on Amazon - Cancelled .

Cancel the order last night for the 16gb from NVIDIA and got this email at 6am this morning

Thank you for contacting the NVIDIA online store.

A request has been submitted to cancel shipment of your order. In some
cases, we are unable to do so, as orders are processed for shipment
immediately upon completion. If your order is unable to be cancelled,
you will be notified in the form of a shipping notification email.

Bit

Not a UK retailer/site.

I don't think that really matters. UK consumer law is generally built on EU statutes if I'm not mistaken.

http://www.out-law.com/page-10387

Could be something in it.. But I'm gonna take it on the chin. I was annoyed i missed the Lightning 16gb deal yesterday, at least I didn't get it then cancel!

I say do it as long as it won't cost you anything or very much if you don't win.

Thing is these companies are making millions and I reckon the amount they would lose on honouring something like this is pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Maybe some of the Amazon directors would get less dividends and have to buy smaller yachts.

Yeah cancelled. Black Friday has been pretty rubbish.

Gutted mine's been cancelled too. Luckily my lightning deal has just turned up so every cloud and all that ;-)

also cancelled without fanfare. guess i'll see if scan still has stock.

Cancelled :disappointed: but my order from Amazon UK for the 16GB one at least has been shipped

Mine hasn't yet been cancelled. Still says in my orders that the remote will be on its way by Tuesday 1st December and that the expected delivery for the shield will be 30th-6th Jan. Any chance mine may get honoured if the remote has already shipped?

Just got a bizzare email from amazon DE. I sent the complaint in German.

The link they sent doesn't work...

Mine has disappeared but Amazon are doing the controller and remote bundle at £119.99 so got that instead

Not sure if serious:confused:

Sorry I didn't know it included a shield, although to me that's a crippled one.

Customer service told me to re order it at full price and they will refund the difference. A note has been added to my account!


Woooo!

did you use Amazon UK customer service?

Yep mine cancelled too.

i assume it probably will be. but as of yet still not been cancelled and when i click tracking for the remote which has already shipped it shows that it is already on the way so perhaps they could just honour it if part of it has mistakenly been sent off or something. fingers crossed anyway :smiley:

Had the email from Amazon.de...
Order cancelled as the item is no longer available from the manufacturer? We know that's not technically true as Nvida are still making them but doubt complaining would make any difference...

Careful, they told me they could only ship the remote and would invoice me seperately for it. Some people may end up getting charged for the remote alone!

pretty sure id be able to quite easily argue my case for a refund for the remote there and they will surely understand. anyway, i'm optimistic for now at least :smiley:

Don't be. I was told in no uncertain terms that they will honour only the bluetooth remote order but the box will not be shipped. The remote would be invoiced standalone at the current catalogue price which is €54.99

If i were you i would cancel the remote before it dispatches or you'll have unnecessary hassle returning the remote for a refund and will lose a little bit money on the gbp to EURO back to gbp conversions for the refund process. (its the reason i never place mispriced orders in different currency due to likely refunds, i once lost €30 on a mispriced monitor from the UK when refunded!)

Good day,

unfortunately we had previously sent you to this order a wrong message that the item ordered is no longer available "NVIDIA SHIELD Pro (500GB incl. SHIELD Controller) + SHIELD Bluetooth Remote" and therefore had to be canceled.

It is correct that the product has been recognized by us on the website by mistake at an incorrect price, and so we had to cancel it from your order. Of course, he is not charged to you.

We ask for your understanding - maybe you have indeed already wondered themselves about the unusual price.

According to our terms and conditions of the purchase contract on a product without first talking with sending the shipment confirmation e-mail comes. However, the alternative, we declare the rescission due to mistake.

We apologize for this error and apologize for any inconvenience.

Anyone know any german forums discussing this?

No doubt the German buyers will be better at kicking up a fuss then us. They have some pretty tight consumer laws over there too, more in line with tougher EU regs.

They've proven they're willing to lie or mislead to not fulfil the order (claiming it was out of stock before changing their story on the backlash), could be a case for a German buyer.

German version of HUKD https://www.dealabs.com/bons-plans/android-nvidia-shield-500-gb--tlcommande/169035

Nvidia store have this at £119 , today only . Not a misprice

Oh also received this email now aswell.
I'm not gonna let this rest.

Sorry went to get link and it had disappeared , the 16gb and 500 gb were the same price next to each other when I first looked .

I got reply back in English.
Thank you for contacting Amazon.de.

As a result of a catalogue error we displayed the wrong price for an item you ordered. We are sorry but we cannot fulfill your order (number) for the price that was stated on our website.

As soon as we noticed our error, we stopped fulfilling orders of these items.

Please note, you have not been charged for these items and we have removed it from your order.

Furthermore, neither of the items are currently in stock.

Thank you for your understanding.

Agh well at least my Amazon one turned up and now running silencerom :smiley:

I've just got off the phone with them and I spoke to a lovely little lady called Natasha who wasn't quite ready for this determined and insistent scouser who is not happy that the original listed price isn't being honoured and to cut a long story short, I have to contact them tomorrow to speak to a supervisor about this.
I'm going down the ' I don't mind waiting until it's in stock as long as the original offer is honoured' route, so i'll let you know how I get on.

It was obvious this was a misprice. I ordered it too hoping it would go through, but Im not going to b*tch about or make a fuss about making complaints knowing it was an obvious misprice.

With you on that Rudi...

Ordered around 2 am.Mine still in their order with remote arriving on Tuesday and shield in not yet dispatched state. The pricing is still same on my order. Fingers crossed. If they only send me remote then i will go through credit card protection right and will let them settle the matter

Just received the cancellation email....

I bet you someone who bought the 16GB complained and got them cancelled :disappointed:

Dear Costumer, I apologize very much for the inconvenience! due to the technical error Your order has been canceled Unfortunately it's impossible to reactivate an order once it was cancelled. Please just order the item again via our website .Should the item of your original order have had a lower price, please contact us again. We will then refund you the difference. Please don,t worry . As soon as this article on our website is available, we will inform you via email .I did this by an appropriate remark in your customer account. I have forwarded a copy of your email to the appropriate colleagues. I hope that now their desired products quickly on our Web site.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further queries and thank you for shopping at Amazon.de. You can reach us via the e-mail contact form on our Help pages: http://www.amazon.de/kontaktformular

That's a generic reponse. I asked over the phone for a similar solution and the Amazon DE told me that they will not do that. The box will not be in stock for some time and the item was a misprice anyway so they will not issue a credit for a future order. The only solution offered was to ship the remote to me at the advertised remote price.

I then received a follow up email confirming the same.

​My orders been cancelled too but I think you'll probably get the shield as well as the remote. It's happened before on items from Amazon where certain people get the items delivered whilst others have theirs cancelled due to a "mis-price".
I'm sure they would have cancelled your whole order like they have done with others rather than cancelling just one item

i received an email at 1:34 am stating mine will be coming a month early!

NVIDIA SHIELD 500 GB Android TV Box (inkl. SHIELD Controller)"
Bisheriges voraussichtliches Lieferdatum : 30. Dezember 2015 - 06. Januar 2016
Neues voraussichtliches Lieferdatum : 02. Dezember 2015 - 03. Dezember 2015

cheers OP

somebody seems to be telling porky pies about stock then, my 2 remotes shipped yesterday and like i said got the email saying the machines are on way and will be here 2/3rd december. So they onviously have stock and are honouring some. I did order at 00:51 on friday morning/thursday night and im a prime customer, incase that affected anyone.

I am prime member too and also ordered around same time frame... Looks like they will either honour the deal or cancel the whole deal.. May be those who split their items shipment are entertained only because they do t have the excuse for those.. Just a guess though

I ordered mine on 27 of November 2015, at 05:57 and received a message saying sorry that item was misprice Tec
I am not prime member but seems that amazon are being dishonest with some members.

I ordered mine on 27 of November 2015, at 05:57 and received a message saying sorry that item was misprice etc.
I am not prime member but seems that amazon are being dishonest with some members.

I got both emails, about the delivery time and about the cancellation. Messaged their support. If they just cancel I loose about £30 just because of this misprice they made, I missed the UK deal of the 16gig version.

Yeah £100 off RRP of a device that's only £230 to start with isn't a misprice but a deal.

What planet are you on fella, it was clearly a misprice!

just received the 2 bluetooth remotes and they were shipped from UK, not Germany but with an amazon.de label

Yeah heaven forbid a good deal gets posted on black Friday

I cancelled order from other places, went back to Amazon uk when they did 119 again yesterday and hassle free will be delivered 02 Dec

That's not even 50% off! You must be new to this site :smiley:

I spoke to a supervisor today over the phone and got a result so when it comes in stock they will honour the price of 159 euros and wave the shipping fee. Just waiting for stock now. Thanks again OP for posting.

Borat could you help me? How did you get that? What you told to them?
Thanks

Mine says expected delivery 2nd to 3rd December :/

Controller has already been shipped.

Anyone else on the same boat?

Yes but have you logged in to amazon.de to look at the order, or are you just looking at the email they sent you?

Yes I've logged into amazon and the order is still there with the estimated delivery date as stated before with the option to cancel the actual console but unable to cancel the controller as it's already been dispatched

I somehow managed to change the language for Amazon.de to English from the contact us page I think it was. So everything including communication will now be in English for me. This should help us understand what they are saying better without having to translate .

nice result! what did you say to him?

I just called them and a guy picked up the call. I insist for them to honour the original price and they refused. Only offered a 5 euro promotional discount ...bad luck I guess. What did you say to them?

Well he was quoting their 'mispricing before despatch' policies to me at the start of the call.But to be honest I think he had this limit he was willing to go to if I pushed hard enough.
Because he pretty much caved in when I explained that this was supposed to be a gift for my son and i was really pleased to find what i believed to be a genuine black Friday offer. I told him that i was dissapointed when my order was cancelled as i couldn't afford to pay the regular prices for these items and my son would be totally devastated and i suggested that maybe i should hand the phone to him and he can tell my son that he won't be getting his dream present.
I'm not proud of myself but big companies can afford to dish out goodwill gestures now and again and it's about time I managed to get one.

I went through the amazon.de website help/contact us pages and requested callback. Original call was 2days ago, talked to regular operator but insisted to speak to a supervisor as I was getting nowhere. As none were available I was told to call back and I again went through the website to request a callback, spoke to an operator and again requested a supervisor and was told a super would call me back within 2hrs. I waited just over 2hrs for that call...

I suggest to read this bellow:
The Directive on Unfair Commercial Practiceswas adopted in 2005 to boost consumer confidence and make it easier for businesses (especially small and medium sized (SMEs)) to carry out cross border trading.
Thanks to the Directive national enforcers have been able to curb a broad range of unfair business practices, such as providing untruthful information to consumers or using aggressive marketing techniques to influence their choices. Its legal framework is proving well suited to assess the fairness of the new on-line practices that are developing in parallel with the evolution of advertising sales techniques.

Ok, so this is just disgusting how they dealing with this! Why are someone more important than others? If they honour this price for someone they HAVE to all. No offense if they cancel all but..... Amazon ,,I,,

Whoop whoop.

Let's hope my one gets dispatched now :smile:

the bluetooth remotes were dispatched no probs tho, charged me €24 each, its the machines we need

My shield arrived today, delivered by Amazon Logistics. Danke Amazon.de.

Pretty much told them the same thing that thought it was a genuine deal and they were not honest in the first email they sent before admitting it was a price mistake. You seem to have struck a better deal than i did.

just got the out of stock email with 19th december as date now

My 'free' controller arrived today...I just gotta keep checkin for when amazon.de have more stock of the shield 500gb...

My original order for the bundle shows in my cancelled orders, the remote which I received yesterday shows up as a completed order for euro 0.00.
I've got to re-order on a new link when the shield becomes available then call in the deal that was promised to me by the supervisor, so my orders page is now all up to date and doesn't leave me guessing like some are maybe still experiencing.

Has anyone got theirs yet?

I think we need to wait, did some else got theirs delivered?

I expected mine to get cancelled like most on here. My remote arrived last week and the shield was "expected" to arrive between 30-6th January but got an email a few days ago saying to expect the delivery 12-14th December which seems like they'll actually be honoring it. Fingers crossed

Dont count on it. I received my remote also. But the shield would come on 1-2 then 5-6 now its 10-11. I bet they will delay it again. But I hope they will get delivered. I bought it before it was on this site.

Thanks mate! Im actually dutch, I saw the site AFTER the deal! I wanted to see if there were also cancelled beside the dutch ones..

Oh I see. I apologise

my remote has arrived and the shield says 12th-14th dec

nice... they actually just cancelled my order of it...
oh well, doesn't matter didn't need it anyway as already have one just not the 500GB one.

Mine had a delivery date of Saturday 12th and it hasn't been dispatched, I expect Amazon EU sarl to get some stock for Xmas and possibly rerun the same offer. if they don't restock by the 20th i suspect they will simply begin cancelling orders. I have a similar situation on the Samsung 128 gb micro SD cards which are not dispatched until they receive stock from the manufacturer. I remain hopeful as tech products shelf life is about a year which this device is near then end of its cycel and close to renewal
I suspect Nvidia want to get rid of the stock or a stock impairment charge will hit their books, no doubt they will have a newer device in development

just got this today

Nice one. Did you message them previously about it? I ordered one and it still hasn't been dispatched yet but I've received the remote couple of weeks ago

yup i have just received the "dispatching soon" noticed for my 2 and they have taken the money!!

nice one, worth the wait......my guess if you received the remote you will get the shield

Good for you guys! Wonder why some were fulfilled?

Just received an email saying that it has shipped and should expect it by Saturday 19th. :smiley:

Mine is also dispatching, they've taken the money from my creditcard. Nice Christmas present to myself!

Any one on here gonna use this to watch live football and if so how? :smiley:

Haha thanks that's pretty much the only thing I knew. What addons would you recommend for live football in HD?

I recommend you using this method.

Very simple to follow and use

Receiving the shield on Saturday, also. The remote arrived yesterday - both were dispatched at the same time but sent separately, which seemed a bit odd.

Remote arrived yesterday, shield in transit just arrived in UK at 11am...this might just happen!

just received my 2 today!!! well worth it OP

Remote arrived yesterday, shield in transit just arrived in UK at 11am...this might just happen!

Arrived at 10am. Looks truly stunning. Cheers OP

Well this is pretty effed up.

I just got my parcel and to my disappointment they sent out the wrong item. I got a babybliss trimmer instead.

I'm so annoyed right now. I rung amazon and all they could do is offer a refund since the item isn't in stock.

I've waited a while for this and then get trolled like this?

This is a big slap on the face!

Arrived today, too, which was a nice surprise. Has quite a bit of heft to it - it's certainly no ordinary android box. Being sent sent the wrong item is certainly a cruel twist to this story.

Already have two different trimmers. Not in need for anymore.

They said I can keep it but I'd rather have the shield than make £20 from selling it

Thats a bummer, but if it makes it you feel better, I read the failure rate on the 500gb units are high and you never know you may have dodged a bullet, give the Trimmers as a present and buy the 16gb (which no doubt will have the offer repeated soon), I have the 16gb which I am going to expand with a 128gb card, but I still havent figured out what I am going to use the extra memory for as the apps are nowhere near filling the 16gb. the 500gb im going to put roms and emulators on as that is the only use for it I can think off and give to my son. Also the 16gb has a better drive than the 500gb

Update: Result...:smile:
Well, received an email from amazon.de telling me they now had more of these in stock so I jumped on the site to have a look and this bundle is now back in stock. Sadly but obviously expected, it was with no repeat mis-pricing this time. (Sorry peeps it's selling for 299 euros now.)

So I requested callback again to call in my "promised" goodwill gesture of 100 euros off and I'm glad to say that they did honour that promise. :smile:
As they had already sent me the Nvidia remote for nothing back in early December, they knocked that price of 41euros off the 299 which left the console and controller priced at a little over 262 euros. Then as promised they reduced that amended price by 100 euros which equalled 162 euros.

So in the end all I had to pay was 162 euros, which converted to exactly £125.29p.
Only 3 quid more than the original price of £122 and considering the current lowest price I can find for this bundle is around £219, I think my waiting 2months for it finally paid off.
Gotta say I'm quite happy with the result of this. :smile:

That's great. Mine converted to about £126 anyway so you really didn't miss out on any saving. Quick question for those of you with a shield... Apart from kodi what else would you recommend getting? What else is there to use the shield for? Thanks :smiley:
