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;
