Nvidia Shield shipping July 31

yeahhh

no doubt bobo will give people sales figures, in couple of weeks.

I am thinking that the Nvidia Shield will fail miserably especially at the high price, even more so than the Ouya has been. Which is unfortunate for the Ouya, since it is cool and fun for what it does. I have an Ouya, and I like it a lot.

I was going to get one until someone made me realize that most pc games dont work with a gamepad.

300$ is to much for this. Add 100$ and you get ps4, no thank you nVidia.

150$ is reasonable price

The details listed here make it sound great.

Shame it requires a PC with a GTX 6xx graphics card which isn't mentioned.

If it ran it all on its own, I would most likely get one. Since I have to have my PC on and with a top end GPU and stream games over the Wifi to the shield, they will not be having a penny from me.

Does someone care? Nvidia can't even dream to compete with 3DS and Vita for that price.

Dat device... On the flip side, my new portable laptop has 2 780m's SLI linked.

DOA

What is the appeal of Nvidia's new gamepad screen? Just buy a wired 360 controller for PC.

Probably another useless device like the n-gage or the WiiU's LCD Controller.

Why would I consider this for $300 when I could buy the overpriced PS Vita and still save $50? Or just add another $100 and buy the PS4.

With my phone gaming just as well or my iPad I don't see the need for this.

Too bulky and clunky for travel, at home I can just use my gaming rig or console. I don't see where this fits for such a big cost.

Edit : Actually I do see where it might fit. In the nVidia CEO's a__ for greenlighting this

Mmm... this thing is not really portable. I don't see myself using in in the bus, metro, etc. It's a great piece of hardware, but I can see an identity crisis cloud over it.

Doesn't really seem that useful for that price.

Android games don't appeal to me much. I've not found something as fantastic as Infinity Blade on iOS on Android yet. Streaming my PC games is fantastic but since it only works as far as my WiFi lets me, it is just useless. I'm okay with pausing it to take a poop. 300 dollars saved.

This may be the most useless device ever. ANd I say it as someone who always uses just NVidia cards.

I just don't see the appeal. To play pc games on a small screen within just a few meters of the PC as far as your wifi reaches?(don't forget that your pc has to be running to render the game) Why would I not play it on the PC itself but torture myself with streaming to a little screen?

And outside the reach of the wifi then what? angry birds?

I`ll take something like this that would be like the WIIU gamepad for PC but not for 300

Such a shame this is being based on Android. It'll feel like a knock-off Android phone. If Nvidia had chosen to build their own GUI and OS, it'd have been something special and had a far better chance at making progress. As it is, it's going to be seen as a ludicroisly expensive Ouya, and just look how well that platform is doing....i.e. horrifically.

Nvidia, create your own IP if you're going to make hardware.

I will NEVER understand all the portable fad crap. Can't people be out and about without some stupid ass device to "keep them entertained"? Have people become so ADD that they can't just set and do nothing? I wont even get a cell phone. People need to freakin UNPLUG sometimes. This thing looks like garbage.

EPIC FAIL!!!

Just what PC gamers have been yawning for. Its here, your prays have been answered. Get ready for Nvidia new gamepad screen! Meh

Does this smell like Nokia N-Gage to anybody else too ?

Not another one F*** off Google and take Microshaft with you, the console market is no place for corporate pricks like you, Android powered console do me a f***ing favour just another NSA sponsored spyware program and controlling monopolistic grab at the entertainment industry.

Nvidia Shield> dog droppings

Nvidia Shield= $300 up in smoke

unless there are high quality games worth playing for android....

My question is can this truly be used to replace the keyboard for PC games? If it can , then it has my interest. I will never get good with a keyboard and mouse. But that's just me.

What a waste of money.

This is useless. 3ds and psvita is the thang.

PS Vita, 3DS > Nvidia Shield. Time to face the reality Nvidia.
