You get 30 bucks play store credit when buying!
I hope nvidia makes a deal with samsung to build this chip on 14nm because at that node they will be able to get the power draw down to 5 Watts and be able to get this beast in a cell phone.
Arm a72 cores are also going to give a 30-40% reduction in power so the x2 will be insane going forward.
We will finally get counsel like gpu gaming on a hand held.
Even the x1 on 20nm is running the unreal 4 engine in real time and is only consuming 10 watts and it takes s ps4 and xbox 1 over 100watts to run the same demo.

I'm interested, I love my Amazon Fire TV, but could have this too. These lil Android boxes are becoming incredibly versatile I must say.
I mean DOOM 3!! I am also going to wait to see if either of the companies launch their game streaming services here in the UK and price them well.. will be interesting if they do.

I played a grid race car game and it was smooth but at 720p and bionic commando and that game looked really good
No that comes with the 500gb option.after installing a few games I kinda wish I went with the 500gb version.
It does have msd slot though and USB hard drive support.
Thanks mate, good to know. I see that are yet to announce the pricing for the Grid service as its free at present right?
I ordered one of these on Tuesday and it should arrive next Wednesday!
Can't wait to get some Rom's on there.

I couldn't find it on Amazon UK, I assume you live in the UK looking at your location? So I was getting excited thinking it was out in the UK?
