Think this really needs to come in under £100 before I consider a purchase. Like the box but not the price.

They've given me a delivery date for this Saturday and they've took payment. We will have to wait and see

AFAIK 99% of orders were canceled. Maybe you were one of the very luck ones. I wasn't :disappointed:

Believe me, retro gaming on the Shield isn't quite specific to me, loads are doing it. Also you don't need a PC to enjoy PC streaming, if your internet is fast enough then there's the Nvidias streaming gaming service which works out far cheaper than buying and maintaining a gaming PC.

Not quite sure what you found sub par about the likes of Half-life, Doom etc either, yeah not current AAA titles but play incredibly well and look great on the device.

Hence why I started my post with comments about it's gaming potential which in my opinion is sub-par. Your use-case is quite specific; if retro gaming is your thing then sure it sounds great for that. As I mentioned the streaming from PC is also a worthwhile feature for people who have the hardware for that.

Most people don't have a bunch of different devices. They want one or two which do everything they need. Personally I prefer the Roku + dedicated console option for the best of both gaming and streaming. I was hoping the Shield could cover both but, for me at least, it can't.

It's shipped as two orders one for remote and one for shield and pad. You can return the remote free of charge and get refunded the amount invoiced which was 32 EUR or something. If your only looking to stream games then no need for remote. Different if you need a kodi box also.

Bought one from Amazon.de a few days ago with the free Bluetooth remote included for £119.Beats Amazon Fire TV by miles and is aesthetically manufactured.KODI & Netflix runs very smooth.Very happy with the product as it definitely makes my Apple TV and Fire TV bite the dust!

Expired.
Price has increased.

The controller is normally about 40 quid and the remote is about 20 so essentially you are getting the box for 57 quid, so if you want the box this is a good deal.

Also you could return the remote for a 32 euro refund making this less than. £100 all you tight wads.

Thanks, missed out on the black Friday deals as I had ordered the pro 'misprice' Amazon de one.

Works out a £112 on my halifax clarity card.

Comes to:
(Total amount: EUR 206.68)
Total payment: GBP 154.86

How did you get £117.45 price? Thanks

Just my personal experience but I ended up sending this back. If you will get good use out of the ability to stream games from your PC then it's probably worth it but overall it's a pretty sub-par machine as far as gaming is concerned and many of the bigger games which were promised months ago have still not arrived on the system.

That would be ok for me if the streaming was up to scratch but I found a couple of issues there which is what led to me returning it. The most annoying one is that when fast forwarding (or rewinding) in Plex it doesn't actively seek the video or skip forward by a set amount - it just keeps playing the video while the timer fast forwards and then when you stop fast forwarding it skips straight to that part of the video - this makes it very difficult to skip credits for example. Additionally, while the remote itself is very stylish the lack of actual fast forward or rewind buttons on it is an annoyance of form over function which exacerbates this problem. This coupled with no Amazon video app (not NVidias fault, the blame lies with Amazon for blocking it on Android TV) made for one too many issues for me so I sent it back and went with a Roku box instead. It's far less stylish but it does everything I need it to with no hassle.

I got one on Black Friday for £142.98 including stand,works great with Kodi.But I downloaded HALF-LIFE 2 and it took up 8GB of my 16GB,gonna need a Memory card...

Heat added as its a good price inc remote.

After being a shield tablet owner I would tree carefully with nvidia devices.

Have a look on the shield forums before you purchase

So using Nationwide cards £25 off this could be under £100, tempted at that

Lol, under £100? This is a bloody bargain as it is including the remote. Some people.

Why does nationwide cards give u £25 off

I've had a look and the amount of games I install that cannot be moved to SD card means that the few games I do play won't fit on to this. would need the 500gb version... that's on offer too but a bit more than what I want to spend... however this deal is super hot... great bit of kit

got excited for a minute thinking this was a repeat of the pro one during black friday week.... got the dreaded 'price mistake email for that one :disappointed: gutted as it was a an unexpected christmas gift for me and my boy ...hey ho...

Agree,It will be a good deal when its under £100.

Can get it for around £108 using Revolut
