Also bear in mind the Zero (either version) doesn't have a 3.5mm out or the associated filters so you'll either have to knock one up yourself if you're handy with a soldering iron ( about £2-3 in components ), use a USB one but you'll then need a hub to plug the microphone in as well or spend more money on a speaker hat.
Perfectly doable and a fun project but if you don't go for the DIY approach it starts eating into the £20 difference between one of these and a Pi 3 which is plug and play.
Definitely recommend a PS3 Eye for a microphone, cheapest decent array mic by some margin, particularly if you pick one up for 50p from CEX :smile:

Might as well get the W by the time you've added wifi.

Can't you just have the audio carried over HDMI?

No but it will run minesweepers perfectly at full resolution and 60 fps

If you turn shadows off you should get a solid 60fps
Im confused. How does it connect to the network if it doesnt have Ethernet (or in this case WIFI) ?

Pi-hole looks interesting. Would it ever have the unwanted effect of throttling your internet connection if you're doing stuff like streaming 4K video from Netflix? I already have a Pi2 with Raspbian Lite and running Kodi, Plex Media Server and Logitech Media Server. Would adding Pi-hole significantly slow things down?
