This allows you to use any TV in the house instead of sitting in front of the computer.

If he is happy siting at the computer then this offers no benefit.

Very nice spot OP, Orderd. Thanks :smile:
Anyone else get the feeling the steam link 4k is coming in a couple of weeks?

You have to add on an extortionate £7.40 for postage when buying through Steam though.

Personal experience: Bought it at full price shortly after it came out and it is an absolutely amazing device if you have wired (or fast powerline) connection to both your pc and the steam link and a graphics card that is new enough to handle the encoding for streaming (h.264). Only niggle is that you may still have to go to the PC to handle things if a game crashes.
Since I already had a gaming rig, this essentially gave me a console in the living room that beats anything on the market for an extra 30 quid, so two thumbs way up.
However if you have an older machine or wifi only, don't bother as the lag will be too high and encoding in software will fry your cpu, leaving not much power for the actual game.

Been trying it out for a few days now also. Online and offline wireless connection not one issue streams flawlessly.

Got mine.

Set it up today & am surprised by how well it works.

Using it through a home plug network.

​Again...cool story bro

Works well, got a Xbox one a controller to use with it. I have it networked and run it at the max setting, seems fine

I've got a wireless Xbox reciever and a wireless Logitech keyboard/trackpad plugged in and both work flawlessly. From what I've read, bluetooth keyboard should work fine to.

Fair play :smiley:

I got my 4th one today, but i've already sold the other 3 so it's only effectively cost me £3.96.

Still think i'm going to sell the 4th though - I just wouldn't use it.

Just the first thing that I thought to myself :smiley: fyi, can get HDMI switches to plug more devices in.

I ordered mine but they cancelled the order after 5 days which is today.

Just got my two delivered, one for bedroom and one for livingroom. Cheers op :wink:

and you felt that achieved what exactly ?

cool story bro

i actually worked out that plugging the Xbox 360 wired controller i have into the rear usb port actually made it work, so played just cause 3 for a bit and that worked flawlessly.

to be honest though, i can't really see i'm going to get a lot of use out of this - only got 3 HDMI ports on my TV, which are all used, so it's already a faff to get it plugged in if i want to play something when my PC boots in about 10 seconds.

i've only got the one game (JC3) that i'd ever really play with it as well.

I'll think about it .. if the 3rd one i ordered turns up in the next day or so and i can sell it to bring the price down to around £4 quid then i might keep it, but even then, I'm the sort of person who thinks that even at £4 quid, if i'm not using it, it's pointless being in the cupboard :smiley:

Mine arrived yesterday. Set it up last night. Easy set up I simply just plugged in a DS4 and it worked right away. I connected it up via homeplug as going by PS4 remote play experiance wifi is not great for streaming games. Tried out Jalopy (simple indie title) worked good nice and smooth.

Tried to play Fallout 4 which I couldn't get to work until I went downstairs to the host PC and clicked on ok (fallout startup options). Again this streamed perfect.

Anyone know if them mini cheap keyboard and mouse bluetooth combos work with this? So far I am very impressed with this little device.

Same here. Although ideally i do need my 4th one to arrive in the next day or so, although they can still refund me if it goes "missing".

If I can make something cheaper for myself I'm going to; I don't see the issue.

​what's wrong with you greedy people? just buy one for yourself and leave some for others. This why deals finish soo quick cause the first 2 people buy 10 not because 20 people bought 1!

got my first one dispatched last night, but got the other 3 notifications earlier on as well so hopefully they'll all arrive at the same time.

Got my dispatched emails a couple of minutes ago.
Cheers op.

When I say install I mean't add as "non steam game" as you can with most Windows apps on Steam, You can add Internet Explorer but not Edge? I guess system apps cannot be launched other than through the normol windows shortcuts

Goes without saying really.

my local CEX already has one of these .. what a shocker :smiley:

give it 5 years, then affordable GPU's will be able to run 4K at 60fps easily

The only cards that are likely to always hit the 4k 60hz min are the Titan XP and 1080ti..

We are still not ready for 4k a £600 1080 still cant run that many games at 4k and 60fps

Of course, I mean 4K streaming right now is a really good idea.

Worse things have happened. You still got it at a good price and supported the developer directly :smile:

Hey Edmund could you sell it to me via eBay? I want one so badly for an Xmas present and missed the deal :disappointed: I'd pay £25 for it

Now expired

Showing at £39.99 on the Game site now.

FFS, ordered from steam the other day, not noticing the £7.50 postage charge. Expected a Paypal password page so clicked through quick;y- turned out it was still authorised from last time... Went to cancel just now but it said it's being prepared for shipping so will have to wait till it arrives before requesting a refund...But I really cba to post back.. :disappointed: Only ordered it as a present on an impulse due to the low cost... :disappointed:

Anyone else having issues with their site?

It's got bluetooth built in
Why's there no point? It lets you play on the TV, which is most likely either going to be 1080p or 4k, the latter of which most PCs would have trouble running at decent frame rates

It's got bluetooth built in

Does the link relay the signal from a wireless controller or do you actually have to be in range of the PC itself? Also does anyone know how I could get a DS3 to work with this?

​yes you can Bluetooth pair ps4 with Any Bluetooth cable pc and it's plug and play now that steam fully supports a ps4 controller. plus it has as much customizablility as a steam controller with the steam big picture interface

cool thats exactly what I need. I was going to buy nvidia shield but cmona man 16 pounds bersus 169. it was easy choice. ohhh yeah.

Not much point when it only does 1080p...whats 1080p in the market these days! Shame!

I've had this since April (birthday gift) and I have to say it's great, especially at this price!

Just to reiterate, it receives the video stream from your gaming PC and shows it on any TV / Screen with HDMI via local network (WiFi or Wired). It pairs (wired or bluetooth) your controllers and sends those keypresses to your gaming PC. The latency is negligible/imperceivable, to a point that most games you totally forget that you're playing via Link. And it doesn't just stream Steam games, but anything on-screen on your PC (Origin, Uplay, Netflix, browser, etc).

So if your gaming PC is upstairs and you want to play TowerFall 4-player on your TV with wireless controllers, this does it for you. Our kids love playing on this in the lounge and we often rope in friends who are over to play Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes to see how quickly they throw the controller at the bomb 'expert' :stuck_out_tongue: It has made gaming in our household a more social thing.

We've got one Steam Controller, couple of xbox 360 (with ms dongle) and couple of 8Bitdo controllers which all connect to Link wirelessly. I've even installed MAME on the Link as a native app, meaning kids can play Street Fighter without having the gaming PC on at all. For network we use PowerLine adapters which work fine.

I wouldn't play FPS's on it, not because of the lag, but not keen on having mouse & keyboard games in lounge (even if they're wireless) as my FPS controller aiming skills are lacking...

Thanks for that, might not bother with this then.

no idea what it is but my kids play steam so ill order now and work it out after

I thought you could use a PS4 controller on a laptop using the cable without pairing by Bluetooth if you wanted. Sounds like it here.

If I bought this and didn't bother to use it for it's streaming capabilities, could I use it to simply plug my PS4 controller into so as to play some Steam games on my laptop? I would prefer using my PS4 controller rather than the keyboard for some games.
Actually, I've just read an article that seems to suggest I can use my PS4 controller with my PC by plugging it into a USB port and pairing it as a Bluetooth device, no software or hardware needed. Can anyone on here verify this?
Thanks.

What a mad price, I can't get over how cheap this little box of tricks is! Maybe the next, more stable, version is in the works or something?

Get the new xbox one s controller and connect it by bluetooth this will allow you to turn off and start the steam link without anything else.

You cant install Windows 10 system apps like Edge browser, Netflix App etc

How does this work with a wireless 360 pad? do i need to use the wireless receiver or does it have it built in as i hate my shield controller.

Cheers

Yeah I watched the video and that's basically what it said about adding it to Steam. No worries though.

Really impressed with it and looking forward to getting it.

anyone recommend a decent controller to use with this?

Incredible deal. Already have one and use it every day.

Back in Stock, HUKD you beaut.

You can add any program to your steam library and it'll stream on the Link. You can't natively run apps on it though.

No matter what it'll always need a PC to piggy back from.

Anyone who wants to run a headless PC to the Link might run into performance problems like I did (or even if you just turn the screen off whilst you play in the other room). it seems the GPU goes to sleep when it doesn't detect a monitor.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/CompuLab-fit-Headless/dp/B00FLZXGJ6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1480437715&sr=8-3&keywords=headless

This will fix the problem (normally £15)

apparently you can install kodi on it .. just going to watch a video showing how.

Does anyone know if there is a way to use this with the official Wii U Gamecube adaptor? So plugging the adaptor in to the Link, not the PC.

Thanks!

Been using a long HDMI cable to do this for a while, but it's a pain in the hole setting up audio over HDMI vs PC headset every time, and extending the desktop and messing with settings. For £16 this'll be dead handy, not to mention to cable draped all over the show

cheers for this. didn't quite have enough in my account to get another 4, but i've grabbed 3 more to trade in so it'll bring down the price of the one i'm going to keep to £4 quid which i'm more than happy with

I've traded multiples in store, normally 5 or more they knock 20% off the total.

Got one when it was on sale last week, I use the nvidia shield TV to stream currently in one of our rooms which is amazing. This will go in bedroom to stream there

hm I never throught of that doing it online, Oh well i cba doing it anyway lol.
I have a question though If maybe you can answer good sir, If I fire up Rocket League and stream to this on my tv can I play 2 player local split screen using 2 different controller types ( 1 360 pad and 1 PS3 pad) ? both wired

I managed to put through 5 orders in game.
Went to Cexs site and traded in 4, will just print their courier label and send them off.
They hold the price for 10 working days.

You might have an issue trading in more than one instore but I've never had any issues online and regularly trade in 9 of the same item.

ordered thanks

isn't it limited to 1 per customer?

can I just do that though? walk up to CEX and give a wad of fresh steam links and they'll give me all the money?

Nearly fell off my chair seeing the Steam postage comments, 7 quid for this link device? 10 quid for the controller?! What are they, the size of a microwave?! Or are they posting them from Mars?

You could always buy 5 and trade in 4 for £20 each @ Cex.
Making yours free.

Ask on game live chat

says £5 credit in deals and offers for store pick up on consoles, is this classed as a console to get the offer??

*I've ordered one and as far as I know* he will need a Gaming PC running Steam (it's a software/platform where you buy and keep your games in) plus a TV that supports HDMI - what the Steam Link does is send the video and audio stream from the PC to a TV. It's also important that he has video game controllers because controllers are not included on the Steam Link.

Anyone knows if this suffers from too much latency or if the image compression does not compromise the image quality? No point on using this on a 4k TV to have it all compressed and looking weird.. I never got the steam to steam stream to work without several visual glitches due to image compression, is this better than steam to steam stream or any better?

Do some Google searching.
There's absolutely loads of information about this on YouTube, Google etc.

im not into pc/xbox stuff will this need a smart tv ? and im on the understanding that if his pc or xbox one is upstairs can use our tv down stairs in living room ASLONG as wired connection. does this just work for pc/xbox or lappy ect please any info would be great as sounds great for 16 yr old. i want to look like a tech knowing mum this xmas lol

Another useless thing to buy and use twice and then realise the tvs refresh rate sucks and go back playing on monitor :smiley:

ordered.. plenty in stock Bedfordshire area

was thinking or not to just get it or wait because seems like 2nd gen might be coming soon,but then realised thats probably going to be 4k and I only have a gtx 760 and 50Mb connection max. oh well can't go wrong for £16 i suppose.

i use VPN on gaming rig that's powerlined to a 50Mb max virgin line through a AC1200 router, normaly get 15-20ms ping and 45-50Mb down on VPN connection. Will this be fine for my gaming on Steam Link? not a competitive shooter enthusiast, will plug the Link directly to router via ethernet.

Thanks, i will give it a go. Cheers

so you can use your pc on tv like basically another form of remote viewing and control like teamviewer?

No you just need steam to get it going I use it to use my whole computer from my living room

does this only related to steam games

will this work on a laptop ?

Just refunded my purchase on steam for £23 as they charge stupid amounts for delivery! Thanks OP!! :smiley: I owe you a drink

Have you tried it again lately? Streaming got an update in firmware 4.0 and the lag is barely noticeable any more and quality got a bump too.

Luckily I think I am close enough to my pc (in the next room from tv) to just let it connect to xbox one wireless adapter connected to my pc.

I had one of these, I found that the delay on my controller (360) made the experience unbearable. I was using a wired connection too! Maybe mine was just faulty...

TY op

got one, thanks for posting.

dont need but for 16quid

method for using with xbox one wireless adapter

https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/0/451852225135818029/

Oh yes, for anyone that hasn't tried it, yes it will stream non-steam games too just fine if you add them to steam!

(With a decent graphics card on the host machine, wired network, and hardware encoding/decoding, on my little box lag much less than 10ms from memory - less than one frame.)

I'm using a little low power "ZBox ID-18" to do exactly that. You don't even need Windows, just install Ubuntu 14.04 (not 16.04 - technical reasons) and steam. Have it set up to automatically log the user in and start steam then just hit the XBox button on your XBox controller to start steam in big picture to either play games natively or stream from your PC, no keyboard required, but you've got a Desktop OS for your TV still of you need it.

It works so well that it makes the Steam Link look amazing value for £16 if it works as well or better.... which has had me trying to find an excuse to get one too (I doubt I will though, lol, there's really nothing left I can connect it to, everything here already streams, lol!)

£15.99 actually. What about XBOX wireless controllers rather than the Steam offering? The XBOX one controllers seem to be able to connect via bluetooth to Windows 10 PCs now, which really **** me off a couple of years back.

I've got one of these. The lag, if over ethernet, is virtually unnoticeable and the picture quality is pretty good.

Get the odd issue that forces me to actually go to the PC room and sort it out, but for the price it's a great way to play PC games in the living room.

Perfect, thanks gents!

I believe you need a usb wireles adaptor to use a standard 360 controller.
I have a cheap non-MS one which I'm hoping will work.
Haven't received the steam link so don't know yet

After I missed them the other day when they went out of stock, I then ordered one from Steam for £23... should be more patient!

For £16 this is a steal! Even if I don't use it all the time, it'll be great to play the Witcher 3 on my TV in glorious PC master race graphics!

Yes it works with Xbox controllers, full list of compatible controllers below :smiley:

http://steam.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_compatible_controllers_with_Steam_Link

Thanks, had just over a fiver in game points too, bargain.

Quick question though, would a standard 360 controller work with this?

come on, ebay is full now, please stop

nice one, thanks. got just cause 3 to play on my telly soon then :smiley:

Does this have the same LAG as the PS4 TV thing ?

I would highly recommend one of these for anyone even remotely thinking of streaming PC games in your house.

I used to use a Macbook connected via HDMI prior and it was awful, on Wi-Fi or even through ethernet it was constant stutter, dropped connections and frame loss.

However, on the Link (connected via Ethernet) I've had maybe one or two rare instances where this has occurred (like literal 2-3 second hiccups). Brilliant little device, plus it works with my 360 Wireless Reciever, Dualshock 4 (via Bluetooth) and countless other peripherals. It plays some of my non-steam games fine too (Origin, UPlay) and it also runs my emulator games via Dolphin too :smiley:


Yeh the host PC has to be on at all times to stream the games. Theres a handy little feature too where you can send a wake-up request from the Link to your PC too which will open Steam on the Host PC if its not open already.

you and me both :smiley:

i've gone for click and collect at my local store. if it does what it appears to do, and i can game on my telly then i'll be happy.

does the PC have to be switched on for this to work though, or will it be ok to just plug the ethernet cable in ?

no idea what this was but bought it anyway lol

why not? just a freedom of speech. you can just simply ignore my comment.

People are getting easily offended these days don't you think?

Got 1 this time, thanks OP.

Ordered one at last!

Great find

Great little piece of kit.

Working great over wireless and connect with the xbox one s controller over bluetooth.

Heat :smiley:

Has anyone tested it through the xbox one s for 4k upscalling?

Why even comment at all then?

Yup it even streams your PC to this and not jus the steam client.

These are basically like Playstation TV but for Steam right?

They haven't even shipped mine. Ordered on friday.
At least they're showing back in stock again so presumably I will get it eventually.

Received mine today and set it up, have to say I'm very impressed.

Back in stock now!

picked up another one while I was at my local (ballymena NI) had another 2 of them still 16 quid

looks like these are back in stock online again, £15.99, just ordered one.

£18 at Game (Grimsby), well up to Saturday anyway.

as an update from my last comments, welwyn garden city Game also had quite a few in stock at £16 :smiley: cheers!

Got mine from Croydon (outside Whitgift centre). Staff did not know about it and were saying they'll probably get one themselves too.

Just went into Manchester Arndale Game and bought 2, plenty in stock.

Cheers OP

Thanks OP, my local Game had plenty in stock! Should be unexpired tbh

CEX is near Game where I live.
So if I go buy 5 from game for £80...sell 4 to Cex for £80. Get me sen one for free for 15mins of my time :0)

(Though in all honesty I will prob just go buy one. Test it out...then leave it on side collecting dust with all other tv gadgets, whilst im lazy n fire up my PS4)

Just picked one up instore in Newark

Sorry to be so late on post but just picked up one in Basildon and they had 4 left. Worth calling ahead first though if you are going to try and get them from the actual store. Had controllers reduced to £27 as well.

bought from Manchester Fort at 6pm. still available

I got one in Swansea store this afternoon for £16 too, so nationwide and in store also incase anyone doubting!

Also just grabbed one in store, so the price is still valid in store.

Game Vic centre, nottingham have none instock, well thats what i was told by staff this afternoon, even though the website showed they have stock.

Why has this been expired? Just picked one up 15 minute ago in store.

Is it worth checking the link every hour or so or are these out of stock for good?

There has been no word of 2nd gen, although it must be an almost certainty with the rate EVERYONE is clearing out

whats this?

Considering cex are still paying 20 cash, these sell for 35-40 new on ebay so nobody is going to lose out

I just picked one of these up in a Game store 15 mins ago, they were selling them for £16 :smiley:

​you can exit big picture mode and interact with your entire PC....

​with delivery it's £23 but if you cant get any from game in store that's definitely good option

Available from Steam at £15.99 - http://store.steampowered.com/app/353380/

​Sounds like you've jumped the shark there. 2nd Gen are out soon so you'll not make it all back selling them on.

​I have one of these at home but would love to get one as a gift for somebody who would use it.

Might take a risk and drive there after work.. might be a wasted trip but meh.

​Just went in store. Marked up at 39.99. Scanned at £16.

is the consensus that all stores have them for £16? says one in the town across is in stock...

Just went in store and got one for £16 and Steam controller for £28

What is it?

Should be a rule to make sure the description actually contains a product description...

OOS

Kind of is in that they have occupied similar price points in the past at various retailers. For example in the last Game deal in which I got a Steam link they were both £27.99 each now the price of the link plummets while the controller stays exactly the same price. Guess the controller is selling well but they have tonnes of links to shift....

literally just been in my local game store. (Southend) and they've got loads @ £16

So it only casts games launched within the Steam client?
That seems like a missed opportunity.

Being able to cast & interact with my whole desktop would make it a whole lot more useful. (basically a more powerful & flexible version of remote desktop)

poo OOS again :disappointed:

what can this be used for as I'm unsure I have xbox one and a nvida shield any good please help

Hows the latency compared to nvidias streaming? Thats all done in hardware hence only works on nvidia gpus, how does this compare? Moonlight on my phone is almost in perfect sync with tv.

They're £16 in store too. Wonder if @ibargain has his 3 yet? I've got my ONE sat here already.

OOS :disappointed:

They do have them bundled with Steam Credit and Controller though.

Not bad price at all, but for me it's more convenient to use a HDMI cable to my TV and use steam big picture to play.

games site is a pile of ****, fraud error every time on any card i try. ill pay steam some shipping this is a joke

Wish there were some good deals on the Steam controller. I know game have it at £28 but compared to £16 for the link it isn't that great. I know it has a fancy case but I'd rather do without the case and have it for £16....

OOS

Missed out

for god sake. sold out again! proper gutted! :disappointed:

I have no idea what this is.

just managed to buy one before it went OOS

OOS

OOS again... :disappointed:

Can you stream your entire windows desktop or just steam compatible games?

Out of stock again

paid twice as much and don't regret it. if anything it's a better deal now as the software is much more stable. The only downside and it's not unique to steam is how to remotely manage your PC if something cocks up.

Thanks again OP mine has been despatched :smiley:

try to checkout, it becomes 0

You sure? added 2 to my basket with no issues

Just picked one up from Rushmere centre Craigavon, few more left in there too. CEX offering £20 cash or £24 voucher. Heat added :smiley:

Thank god these came back in stock. Sat foolishly with two in my basket for most of yesterday and they sold out. Cheers OP

one per person

If you had an old computer you weren't using, could you set up steam streaming on that for free instead? Trying to find myself a way out of buying this haha, too easy to spend money today

I've been wanting to try one for a while. I'm not convinced it will work well but I'm prepared to give it a try at this price.

same as above. I'm on trigger finger waiting. still gutted missed out on this deal :disappointed:

Asked mods to unexpire

Wohooo - looks like its back in stock at Game!

Gamestop are going to be clearing their stock soon for the same price. They have lots to go through so might be lower.

40 been dispatched 40 to go

Yes and it's not a risk with free returns

Would this handset work with this box???

Dispatched :smiley:

I can't think of a single game I play where using a TV would matter TBH. Sure if you were a FPS fanatic but I mainly play tower defense, turn based stuff like xcom, that sort of stuff. Being able to do this in the living room as well as the man cave for just £16 seems a bargain, I can pretend to listen to the Ms so it'll keep her happy too :stuck_out_tongue:

what's so lol about it m8? got gtx960 output at full HD resolution and above. My living room is my gaming and entertainment studio. You sound like a typical PC master race savage who pretends to "know" everything, right? Bet you are one of those sods who plays on a standard 32" PC monitor with 4K resolution stuck in their own tiny rooms which doesn't make hell lot of difference than playing on a mid range graphics card and thought they are top of the world lol. This will keep your savage mouth shut for a while. Now, go back to you room, little kid.

seems nice but no use for me. My monitor for my gaming rig is a 48" TV lol.

This is now the same price on steams actual store. http://store.steampowered.com/app/353380/

I got 3 (two for sale on eBay) thanks op.

​Age confirmed :smile:

I missed out online :disappointed: Do people genuinely buy as many as they say they have to sell on or just to wind the community up? xD I mean 3 or 4 I can believe, but more than that? Haha not sure I'd want to risk it in case the price tanked on em for some reason!

BUT... luckilly GAME Norwich honoured one instore for me when I told them the whole of HUKD had bought them all online, and the online chat said they were £16 instore as well haha!

This instore as well?

No 4K support?! That is terrible, was ready to jump on board until I saw that it only supports yesteryear technology 1080p

How much in store?

:0( Was hoping they may have had some of their own stock in for same promotion deal....oh well. Final Fantasy 15 out next week so will wait for that.

They want £10.10 to ship a controller!

Dude, this is about amazon US - Amazon UK don't even sell Steam link! (its only for sale from 3rd party sellers)

Don't make the mistake of ordering through click and collect, it's actually click, wait for them to deliver to the shop then collect. The shop I'm collected from even has them in stock.

Bah! Was just about to buy as well :disappointed:

ordered a million to sell on ziffit. outdid all of you, join the que!

same price at Steam Store
http://store.steampowered.com/app/353380/

Arr bum, sold out. :disappointed:

http://powerupgaming.co.uk/2016/11/23/amazon-slashes-price-of-steam-link-steam-controller-in-pre-black-friday-deal/

There's hope yet, if this comes to UK Amazon tomorrow. Maybe Game knew so tried clearing some stock in advance. Hopefully be controller and box for around £35 tomorrow....one can hope :smiley:

Damn.....if only it was on a bit longer Amazon may have price matched for the day....tssssk....oh well an item that I didn't think I needed.....talked myself into impulse buy and then missed out.
It's like the an idea Shield for £99 all over again (missed that too)

"Supports Steam Controller (sold separately,) Xbox One or 360 Wired Controller, Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows, Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710, or keyboard and mouse."

Was in basket went to pay, gave me an error whilst paying via PayPal and then it was OOS. Gutted :disappointed:

Ordered 5 mins back and got it

so glad I got into this deal before it went out of stock :smile:

OUT OF STOCK, AND DURING WHILE I WAS ORDERING, CURSE MY LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Says temporary out of stock. Did a refresh and now showing £39.99!!

You think Game made a mistake and now doing a U-Turn? I know they have in the past! Gutted I've missed this, was excited then :0(

That's pretty hopeful for a £16 bit of kit tbf

OOS now!

Ordered 1, had £1.74 to come off in reward points too. Thanks OP

Nearly bought it on steam, glad I waited! Hot

Do I have to buy anything extra for my PS4 Controller or does this include what I need?
Can I use this to stream video or is it just Steam Games/Os only?
How bad is lag? (Planning on using power adapters if on main Tv, wifi if upstairs.

Damn thought it was going to be wireless so no bluetooth support then what controllers can work wirelessly is there any bar the steam controller

I'm hoping it works with the ps4 controller I heard there apparently updating the link to support it in the future

Anyone having issues on desktop, change the URL to https

anyone having issues with a 'fraud failure message'??? tried 3 different cards!!!

Ah so this is purely a relay for video? I.e. I could use it to watch my blu rays using my pc upstairs but play it on the telly??

If so does anyone know if it has audio pass through for the HDMI? (master hd. Audio etc) or just pcm? Thanks in advance.

Thanks ordered 5

That's good can now add you to my ignore list :smiley:

I think you mean pro gamer, because unless you're playing for money I don't see your point? Loads of people play a vast variety of games that don't matter if you have a bit of input lag. Yes if you're wanting to play FPS shooters that require twitch responses you're not going to want this, but then again why would you want it in the first place if you're planning to use it on a main living room tv!

Please save us the response time, by not bothering.

Amazon in the US have similar pricing, not in the UK though :disappointed:

Thanks ordered. Can anyone let me know how you can add emulator roms as tiles in big picture mode

Edit: never mind found out and done it with the Ice software

So that you're ready for slower paced keyboard games and any controller supported games :smiley:


The new XB1 pad? I believe so! Just Googled it and found a link saying they updated the Steam Link to support it.

Cheers OP, brought one....not sure if I need it but good price!

If you have a Steam account , it's £15.99 on Steam just now and a Link and Controller is £39.58 , 51% off but P&P is about £11

Ordered

opted into a £10 cashback yesterday on quidco don't know whether it was expired but got the steam link and a £10 topup for steam came to £25 (after using £1 off my rewards card) hopefully it will be £15 all in fingers crossed

Might be worth mentioning - for those looking to play single player games with this sort of setup (so a small amount of extra input latency isn't a big deal), pretty much any laptop with 5ghz wireless N (2.4ghz rarely cuts it) and has a Sandy Bridge or newer CPU (Intel 2xxx series) will handle Steam IHS just fine - I'm sure the vast majority of such laptops have a HDMI output, or DisplayPort.

Could I use this to remote play my PS4 on the telly :P I am tempted but all I have a laptop that isn't all that good for gaming so seems a little pointless.

These are great. Pair it with a k400 Logitech wireless keyboard and a 360/XB1 pad and you're set!

Bought these from Amazon to use with this as cheap as £21 on a warehouse deal - BT Broadband Extender Flex 600 Kit, Pass Through Powerline Kit - £39.99 else where.

Website's having issues it seems.

Nghh!! Ordered one from amazon.com, then the Steam deal came up so I ordered one and cancelled the Amazon.com order, and now this... How many Steam Link devices do I actually need? :laughing:

Very cheap, will give it a try at this price. Thanks OP.

Great price if you need one. Amazon currently selling this for £134 with £29.99 postage :confused:

Ordered 80

I still haven't upgraded from a 660ti 2GB, will this be OK for streaming?
I mean, I can still play most the games on my machine on full settings, but not sure if the streaming will add a large overhead?

Hot, ordered one thanks

Anyone else getting this?

Wow, cheers OP, ordered!

Great

Personal experience: Bought it at full price shortly after it came out and it is an absolutely amazing device if you have wired (or fast powerline) connection to both your pc and the steam link and a graphics card that is new enough to handle the encoding for streaming (h.264). Only niggle is that you may still have to go to the PC to handle things if a game crashes.
Since I already had a gaming rig, this essentially gave me a console in the living room that beats anything on the market for an extra 30 quid, so two thumbs way up.
However if you have an older machine or wifi only, don't bother as the lag will be too high and encoding in software will fry your cpu, leaving not much power for the actual game.

With this could i put it in my daughters room so she could play her games that are on my Computer as well as me using my computer at the same time? Thanks

wired 100|Mbit in a Gbit world.

wow great price thanks

thanks for putting this up, I cancelled my order through Steam and ordered here, had some reward points so saved a tenner overall :smile:

Hmm this would be perfect for something like the Sega Mega drive classics etc.

Ahh, well spotted! Thanks!

Any respectable competitive gamer won't use this at all
