Google Stadia Premiere edition @ €22

Thanks OP what a deal!

Initially showed Out of stock for me but when I searched for it the page was showing in stock here:

What actually are these?

Think of it like a games console, without having to have an physical Xbox or PS5 etc. Instead you stream the games over the internet, similar to how you'd stream videos with Netflix. It's a great service, the downside is the game selection is a bit limited but good for a casual gamer.

thanks for the link, singed up and have 4 months free..

Thanks OP. Ordered and will likely never use. Thanks again OP!!😀

Totally separate. If you never use the controller the chrome cast will work.

However it is worth noting that it is not like a firestick that has Netflix on the stick. You need to use your phone to stream to the Chromecast.

Out of stock on both links above...anyone experiencing the same?

is there a free edition of stadia? if i dont want to pay monthly fee, any free games available?

Yes there is. You don't get the free monthly games and the games are a bit more expensive to buy outright.

Yep, and that's a bit of a pain tbh. Google themselves have realised this and have moved to "Google Android TV" thing that comes with a remote similar to that of Amazon Firestick. But that bundle is €70. I have been trying out various games in the pro subscriptions and it's okay / average. I am not a huge gamer anyway (my PS3 Battlefield days are long gone), I don't think I will be continuing the Stadia subscription beyond the trial period.

PS: It would have been sweet if Google would do some software update to make Chromecast + stadia controller to act same as the "Google Android TV" yoke, perhaps hardware limitations is stopping them from it.

I have the Google TV stick too. It is much better but also much more limited. Not all android apps are available on the Google TV stick. With the Chromecast if it's on your phone it's on the TV. But the downside is you need your phone running the contents.

Are you finding the games average or the experience. Because it should be on a par with a PS5. Stadia is next Gen. But most of the pro games are average in fairness. One or two worth a bash.

Journey to the savage planet is brilliant. Very funny and not too difficult. Easy to hop in and out of.

Dirt 5 is a great racer.

Control is good.

And 2K21 Golf is very good.

Steam world heist is good too.

There are currently six free games which you don't need to pay a penny to play.

Crayta

Destiny 2

Hitman - Starter Pack

Nine to Five - Early Access

Super Bomberman R Online

Super Animal Royale

I have been a PRO subscriber for over 12 months now and I think it's excellent value tbh. If you are a PRO subscriber you get access to 40+ games which you can 'claim'. Once you claim a game you will never lose it as long as you subscribe to PRO. If you unsubscribe obviously you lose access to those games but crucially if you ever resub, you get access to all those games again, even if they have left PRO.

Overall I think it is a superb service, I had been a lapsed gamer and am back into gaming in a big way as a result of Stadia. It is fantastic to be able to play what I want, when I want and where I want. The flexibility of Stadia is one of it's strengths - you can play on your phone, on a tablet, on your laptop, on your TV, whatever. It's a big thumbs up from me.
