    Doesn't seem that cheap

    • snuke on 04/01/2016 - 20:16

      From a USD point, it is the second cheapest it has been. The best real (as in available for several hours+, not just a few minutes) deal was the USD $150 for Black Friday & Cyber Monday.

      Edit, realised I forgot to say includes the remote. Duh.

      • spackbace on 04/01/2016 - 20:23

        Yep, 2 instances it was US$150, then once it was US$200, which isn't that far off US$189 ;)

        Just looking at Camelx3 it's been US$200 or less since mid-November.

        So I stand by my 'that cheap' comment :)

        • snuke on 04/01/2016 - 20:29

          I guess it all depends on what constitutes "that" USD $25 and even USD $11 is enough to send some OzB off tap.
          A point of interest, or not, Camelx3 failed to notify during those $150 price points until they were already finished.

    Very cool unit. I'm assuming it is capable of h.265 hardware decompression for 4K videos?

      Yes.

  • MissMurd3r on 04/01/2016 - 20:21

    Interesting, seems it cannot be shipped to me.

    • snuke on 04/01/2016 - 20:30

      Do you see the option for "Or ship to an Amazon Pickup location" below your address? If so, try that for locations near you thy will ship to.

      • MissMurd3r on 04/01/2016 - 20:43

        I see now, at the checkout. Thanks.

  • juzz0 on 04/01/2016 - 20:32

    Waiting for it to get 160 USD and below again. Is there much hope in the next six months? Don't mind waiting. Extra 30-40 makes a huge difference to my purchase decision.

      Considering it has only been cheaper than this during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales, probably not for some time. 6 months is quite a while though, especially in tech so maybe. However also note that many feel our dollar will also be weaker but it has been relatively stable recently.
      Crystal ball question unfortunately.

      From what I see of Nvidia Shield Tablet which is more or less this device plus a screen discounting is pretty rare. Devices really are priced pretty cut throat - these are mid range prices for what is easily the most powerful Android device barring the other Shield devices and a couple of tablets with the same soc.

    Upvote, but I still think the Nexus Player is a better value.

      comparisons, not sure if its a fair comparison

      Nexus is cheaper, but you dont get 4k, ethernet, and its not as powerful.

      I guess its all depends on what you are streaming/playing, and whether you want to use it for games.

      • nitropwd on 04/01/2016 - 21:51

        Couldn't agree more. To be honest, I use mine mostly for Kodi and game emulation. So there you go ha.

      It's cheaper but I wouldn't call it better value. The Shield offers extreme performance so I think it would win the bang for buck.

    • snuke on 04/01/2016 - 22:22

      I have both Nexus Player and Shield, happy to have paid twice as much for the Shield, I just got my second Shield and the NP is going in a box.
      The Shield having a gigabit port and IR receiver were huge pluses for me over the NP. The NP will falter on things the Shield doesn't blink at.

      • nitropwd on 04/01/2016 - 22:46

        want to sell the NP?

  • ujwols on 04/01/2016 - 21:23

    This is a must buy folks

  • Fergobf on 04/01/2016 - 22:18

    This player is great got this deal for 235 delivered just before christmas

  • preasm14 on 04/01/2016 - 22:26

    Got mine during the cyber Monday deals. all good except I can't get the pc games streaming to work.googled for solutions but no success.

    • snuke on 04/01/2016 - 22:28

      Did you post details on the Nvidia forums? I don't use mine for gaming, so I haven't really followed what feedback is closely.

      • preasm14 on 05/01/2016 - 11:39

        There are several post there and in other forum having the same problem. Tried the suggested solutions there but no success. been trouble shooting for the past days.

    • albert0pia on 04/01/2016 - 23:54

      To use Gamestream, you've got to have a GTX GPU, whether in a laptop or a desktop PC.

      • preasm14 on 05/01/2016 - 11:42

        I got a gtx 750 ti. GFE is showing my pc Gamestream ready.

  • goober on 05/01/2016 - 00:38

    +1 if you have a 4k TV with HDMI 2.0 amazing PQ with this unit at 10bit colour.

  • preasm14 on 05/01/2016 - 15:21

    Got game streaming works after uninstalling bit defender using bit defender uninstall tool I downloaded from bitdefender website.

    disabling or using Windows add/remove seems doesn't remove it totally from my c pc which i tried it before and game stream doesn't work.
