I absolutely love mine, no joke.
First off, best streamer you can get cost no object(and it doesn't really cost all that much anyway). Second, you get your PC games all playable on your TV. For me, it wasn't my first Shield device so I actually have had this for a while, just easier with the console always hooked up. Third- it's a legit gaming console. No, it doesn't go toe to toe with the PS4 but it *handily* beats up on the 360 and PS3. General example, Doom 3 ran at 720p and had trouble holding 30FPS on the last gen, runs @1080p close to a locked 60FPS on Shield- that isn't streaming, that is native(that's about 400% increase in pixel pushing in that game). That is native on Shield(the Shield ecosystem offers a tier above the typical Android offerings- to be up front it is a rather small selection, but they aren't close to your run of the mill 'Angry Birds').
It's a buck fifty, fuck it Rollo, just grab one for yourself
You know, it doubles as a Chromecast, just slightly more beefy
