I've never heard of it.  At $350 I'll never buy one, either.

It's a pretty niche product that won't make a big splash.  Probably cool for certain people, just not my jam.

Could it be your jelly?
Or preserves?


Anyways here is an interesting read:

And a good quote:
"Even if Nvidia Shield is a commercial failure, Nvidia will come out okay if the device gets more people thinking about Android gaming, and Tegra 4 in particular. And if it encourages more developers to add support for game controllers, it’ll be good for gamers–even those who think the price is a royal rip-off"

You could either get a Vita plus games or get a controller adapter to your Android Phone/Tablet for 20$.

Looks kinda cool but better options out there.

Wow, I remember that.  The problem now is that I can't decide whether I want to say "meh" or *snore*.
