C'mon Nvidia.
I want a tablet with the T4, not this.
Android offline, streaming otherwise.So this is just for streaming games from your PC right? No dedicated "offline" games?

If shield is smooth like a wii u than I'll probably be interested when its cheaper.
Engadget said:Game streaming is not perfect on the Shield. It's not as good as the Wii U's gamepad, and it's not as good as playing games directly on a PC.
This thing is lucky if it only bombs as hard as the WiiU. Not sure what Nvidia was trying to prove here.
One console future would have ALL exclusives lol
Seriously though, what is the appeal of this product? I have no reason to get one, as everything on it has already been released else where. Like, literally, everything.
I just want to say that there are games outside of the supported beta that work, I think those are just the ones that have been though lots of testing.
When you stream, Steam Big pictures opens and you launch your games from there. You can launch Origin/other games by adding them to your Steam library. I've done that with BF3 and NFS personally.
I also did my Dark Souls SL1 run completely on Shield via Streaming. Made a post on /r/Darksouls where I answered a lot of general questions about Shield.
I do, obviously, work for NVIDIA. I'm not on the Shield team, marketing or social media but I lurk here all the time and figured I would throw in what I know about the product while there is some discussion.
It streams any game if you have a 6xx+ gpu.
Edit:
Nvm, it is limited. Oh well, more games will support it eventually. A modified PCSX2 and dolphin build for shield would make it worth it.
One more review that is quite positive. So far I have to say, this thing got much better reviews than I was initially expecting.
It reminds me a lot of the Vita--a well made but pricey answer to a question few are asking. Solid construction, impressive tech specs, but very niche in target audience. Thread just needs a title proclaiming it simply the most desirable handheld ever to be complete.
Shield is an impressive product. It's solid, performant, and maybe Android gaming isn't really there yet, but what it does leave me wanting is for NVIDIA to make me a phone.
Damn, Newegg is out of stock.
That's who I wanted to get it from. Free shipping and no tax
Ouya and Shield

Many games not on Nvidia's official GeForce Experience list, however, can still be run via Steam's Big Picture mode. Games that were built for controllers, like Mirror's Edge and Alan Wake, ran swimmingly on the Shield, with little or no pre-configuration required before jumping right into the gam
