    What's the advantage of having a game controller?

    It might be an obvious answer ;)

    If you never plan on gaming and don’t have any kids in the house then don’t bother

    It's 135 poung on UK site.

    Does the FR one come with an EU plug (2 prong) or one we can use out of the box?

    Looking at this video it looks like there are both the EU and UK plugs included.

    I'm not 100% the one on the Amazon website will have that, but I think I'll got for it.

    That is a good question. I've no idea.

    I bought mine direct from nvidia uk last Black Friday and came with a 3 pin plug and I would imagine the amazon ones will be the same

    Amazon and it won’t drop below this price in my opinion and if you wait too long it will be gone, they will only have a certain number at this price

    Amazon.fr deal gone already by the looks of it. Back up to ~€180

    Apparently it works better as a remote than the actual remote but that's only from what I've read

    There are some apps which perform better with a screen cursor I find, so the gamepad is used, at least in my place.

    And personally, if I was in the market for one, id jump at £149 for the full kit. Great price and really cannot see it dropping much more. Not worth the risk IMO.

    It’s only 20 quid more and you can always sell it on here or adverts if need be.
    I only use mine for gaming with the small fella
    Xbox controller also works with it btw

    How does the game streaming from a PC compare to Steam Link?

    Can it do higher resolutions for example?


    Already have steam link and an Android TV so just wondering if it's worth buying or not.

    No, remote and controller. It was one of the posts in this thread that alerted me to it. The offer didn't last long and it went up to €180 a while after I ordered.

    Bought it for £160 around this time last year, it's £150 now on Amazon with game controller & remote or £130 with remote only.
