Nvidia Shield $289 PLE Perth

20

Hi All

I was browsing PLE website and noticed they seemed to be selling the 'clam shell' Nvidia shield as of next week; not sure if the price is a bargain; but first one I have seen sold locally in Perth (although I believe it is US stock) so the price may be cheaper than importing from the US.

Marked deal as starting on 21/8 as its currently up for pre-order.


Description from Website;

You've never played Android games like this. We started by bringing together the screaming-fast graphics power of the fast mobile processor - NVIDIA Tegra 4 - with a stunning 5-inch tablet display. You can even run the most popular game emulators available on Google Play to relive your retro gaming days with all those older titles from your personal collection.
Now, you can get the full GeForce GTX PC gaming experience - even when you're not at your PC. SHIELD gives you the freedom to stream your favorite PC games over Wi-Fi with amazing graphics, sound, and control to play anywhere in the house.
SHIELD puts amazing entertainment in the palm of your hands. Get lost in the hottest movies from Hulu Plus or Netflix. Listen to your favorite music with booming, bass-reflex audio. Explore Google Play for music, books, movies, TV shows, and apps anywhere you go. Even control an AR Drone - right from your SHIELD.

Note that due to licensing agreements, certain functionality such as GRID BETA is unavailable outside of the US

Product includes US to AU Power Adapter

    • newer model coming soon :)
    • I don't think they will be a newer Shield Portable since they just announced Shield Tablet. Probably that is the "new model"?

      • +1

        Actually…there will be a new Shield Portable. Stay Tuned.

        • whats your source on this?
          I have never seen or heard of such a thing aside from user complaints.
          Its of strategic value for this tablet to go on for a year and perhaps release new shield then.

        • Secret tech journalist source???

          P.S. Ausdroid fan here :)

    • Sold Out link :(

  • +1

    Humm some of the links there do seem cheaper; would this work out better for people in Perth without paying for shipping? (local 1 year warranty might be useful as well)

  • +2

    I got this for free :) Nvidia sent it to me to port my game to Shield.
    Nice device and there are a few good games in their store, which I really enjoyed playing. But I don't see any uses for it, other than playing games.

    • You could throw it at someone in a fit of rage.

      Bet that thing hurts when thrown.
