nVidia Shield 16GB android TV £99.99 instore @ Game

That might be the worst spelling of Nvidia I have ever seen!

So much misinformation (amongst some good info) in this thread... just to clarify the 2015 model has everything the 2017 model has, it also boasts an IR port, micro sd slot, and mini usb2.0 port.

Cpu/ram is exactly the same. Both have 4k 60p HDR currently. Both will have the new software by the end of the week/month that enables Google home. You could even buy a new controller and pair it with a 2015 shield.

If you can get a 2015 model for this price you are insane to pass. I personally think the 2015 model is better then the 2017 (for the 16gb version).

So one person found one in Leeds and it has 600° heat?

That is a bargain!! I sold mine the other day for £10 quid than i bought it for?? Just received this fella yesterday and I am very impressed at how well it works. Also bluetooth joypads have little issue joining.

good for kodi

Amazing price for this. Prices have soared this last year due to it being out of stock almost everywhere. Shame it's in store only.

Great device, most powerful Android TV box you can get. Just wish more of the play store games were optimised for it but lots of cool custom things you can do with it like make it a emulator box, kodi box or just use it for streaming of video and games....

Any remote or conttoolrr on offer

Get an old Amazon Firestick controller - that's what I use with mine

It should be noted, this is the old version. The newer one is faster, and … It should be noted, this is the old version. The newer one is faster, and comes with a better gamepad and remote. Granted, it's nearly twice the price - but still, it might be something that people would like to think about.Read lessRead more

Power wise the new one has pretty much the same hardware I believe.

Wii , dreamcast ,gamecube , n64, psp emulation, hyperspin etc...

Someone told me they are good so they must be. I must spend my money on this.

Been waiting for this - Bought from Trafford Centre, Manchester this morning - still marked up at £150 in shop, and staff didn't even realise reduced until scanned. Cheers OP!!

Thanks OP just picked one up from the Trafford Centre (had one more but that was reserved)

OK looks like we need to clear up some confusion. Game don't have any more in stock, but some of the Game stores with a PC gaming hub might have some left in. I just picked up the last one at the Trafford Centre, I think you'll be lucky to find one anywhere now.



I can confirm it comes with a gaming controller included but no remote control included.

They also had one in a black box in stock at £219.99, I'm guessing that's the new one? I didn't bother checking because not worth it at that price point.

that's good

Awesome price this!

Decoded

​Yes, very good.

​It's the best box for kodi - New Nvidia box on its way but get this as performance on Kodi won't be any better

is this machine easy to set up

​Piece of cake!!

Has built in Plex server with hardware H264 and H265 decoding. Got one at this price from Amazon on Black Friday

You can stream pc but you may need nvidia card , does support 4k play back.

HDR?

HDR?

Will have when the update comes very soon.

would buy and sell on eBay if i can find one

The newer version is out now came out Monday I received mine

Sold mine last week because I didn't use the gaming aspect. I've replaced it with the Mi 3 box deal that was on here recently.

I miss it already. The box is classy and admittedly the pairing of devices can be hit and miss but otherwise you'd be daft not to get one at this price.

As mentioned, the newer version is only cosmetically different and this will receive the same updates.

Hot from me, OP.

To be honest unless you are going to game on Android and nvidia, s own gaming subscription which costs I believe £7.99 a month, would rather get the cheaper amazon TV box. Especially if all you want is kodi. However £99 is a very good deal for the hardware.

This is the best, IMO, box there is. It is fast and supports everything. For example, it does 24p which many Android boxes don't in Kodi.

Gamestream as well is absolutely amazing

jfclfc

is this machine easy to set up

Depends what you mean by that? When you switch it on you just log into your android account and your good to go...
Kodi is already installed but youll need to put a build on it for shows etc
Emulators can be a pain to get how you want them to look but again its just download from the playstore

bryngreen

Did they have any more in Leeds Decoded?

​It was the only box left in the cabinet so I presume it was the last one. Other branches might have them or they might get another delivery in time.

Absolute bargain if you can pick one up. The Shield is 3x faster than anything else on the market right now.

Update to latest firmware (same as new Shield) is also available as we speak!

I've had one for a year or so now (got the two controller bundle posted on here). ES File Explorer doesn't work very well- crashes a lot- any suggestions of something better that works with a remote (ES has trouble with that).

Also doesn't like waking from sleep on occasion, so needs an unplug. It's corrupted 2 64GB microSD cards, so am thinking about getting the Pro version of the 2017 model (there are documented issues with the 500GB 2015 model).

bargain...if you can find one

This box has the most options for 4K content
It is the most powerful TV Box around, so very quick to use and should not go out of date for a while
The power in it means it is good for running Android game and emulators
It can also be used to stream PC games from your PC
And/or use the Nvidia GeForce now sub to stream games from Nvidia
It runs Kodi / SPMC brilliantly

It misses some of the catchup TV Apps at the mo (only iPlayer has a properly set up one), but it is still probably the most complete option out there.

If you stream lots then the 3 GB ram kicks butt on the cheaper models.... No lag and much smoother playback. this thing is built to stream 4K, top spec of its range. sometimes its worth spending a little more to gain much more mate.

Cold.... Nvidia tv 2 is out on sale now which includes a games controller … Cold.... Nvidia tv 2 is out on sale now which includes a games controller and remote control for i say only £190... The first version of the console will soon drop in value, a bit like the playstation 3 fat version when it went to slim. To buy a remote and games controller your looking at another £100 also I have just ordered my Nvidia 2 and advise anybody looking for a quality android box to match me.Kind regards for sharing though because this version is at £280 on amazon....Madness!Read lessRead more

Have you read any of the other comments? The difference is mostly cosmetic. Also, how can you vote cold but then go on to say the same unit is almost 3 times the price on Amazon? Have you seen this cheaper anywhere else? You can't vote cold purely because a newer version is out. Would you vote a PS3 for £20 cold because the PS4 is now out? Makes no sense.

Out of stock nearby. What a shame, bargain

I recently sold my Shield after using it a year as never used the gaming side.
Got the Fire TV box and Kodi,Plex,Netflix all work the same as on the Shield same speed no difference.
