    Got hit with this yesterday, ensure you’ve spare batteries around for the controller. They’re meant to last a year, mine lasted not even half that.

    Luckily had some we picked up from Lild at Christmas.

    Mag box doesn’t come close to a shield
    It’s like saying tesco value coke is the same as Coca Cola
    I kept the mag 256 for 2 weeks never again

    Where did I say a Mag box did come close to a Shield? only mentioned it as I had set up one about an hour earlier.

    If you want a box for IPTV and nothing else a MAG is a good job.

    So apparently Nvidia Geforce Now is currently free.. I wouldn't know as I'm still in my free month. Worth trying!

    has anyone got a shield from the warehouse deals on amazon - wondering if the condition is generally ok?

    Just to update I got one for 150, not even advertised as very good, just good. The thing is 100% perfect. Would definitely recommend to save a few bucks going this route again in the future.

    I'm buying probably 2 or 3 Warehouse Items a month... only once had an issue with one, and simply posted it back and Amazon refunded me the postage - and accidentally a bit more as I think they refunded me in sterling. Can't recommend Warehouse Deals enough.

    As someone who previously was a paying subscriber, how might this affect me I wonder?

    Details are sketchy to be honest.. I opted into trial after April 30th so don't know how it affects me when the trial ends either! :D

    So it looks like the game streaming service is free for the time being. You can log in and play all of the games that were included as part of subscription. Not a great selection but for free there are some good games to play.

    I previously subscribed and bought The Witcher 3. Played it for over 80 hours so the streaming works very well. Some lag at times but very playable.

    Damn you!

    This turned into the worst internet argument ever. Normally these sort of exchanges go back and forth for hours constantly escalating until a Mod has to intervene.

    The Nvidia Shield has the capability to stream your gameplay on Twitch. All you have to do is, long press the Home button, then you will see 3 options ( Record, Broadcast, and Screenshot ). Select the Broadcast option and the Twitch Application will start up, and your on your way.

    >If you don’t have a Twitch account, make sure you create one in order to use this feature<

    Who'd want to do that?

    I know theirs loads at it and even more loads watching but they're all ejits.
