Title: Google enters the console wars Post by: Link41 on October 15, 2014, 10:35:58 PM http://ca.ign.com/articles/2014/10/15/nexus-9-tablet-and-nexus-player-set-top-box-launching-next-month
Very interesting.

Perhaps Google can grow Android into a gaming platform, but it's going to need some killer apps to get me interested.

Title: Re: Google enters the console wars Post by: Izret101 on October 15, 2014, 11:28:28 PM I thought the google TV plug thing was interesting too until someone told me all it did was load apps that you had to carry subscriptions for anyways.
My blu-ray player already does that... Almost every thing already does that.... Anyways back on topic...

EDIT I'm not even sure if i am being sarcastic about this or not and i made the post.... :'( Title: Re: Google enters the console wars Post by: MetalFRO on November 05, 2014, 03:31:28 PM I have a Chromecast, which I kind of like, but the lack of a remote and dedicated apps is a bit irksome, so if this set-top functions more like a Roku, where the remote will interact with apps already on the device, AND give me access to some Android gaming, then it might be worth looking into, but only if the $99 price tag means it can compete with Roku in terms of apps being available ON the device. I like my Chromecast, but it has its limitations. I only went with that versus a Roku 3 for my other TV because of the cost.
