Nice to see Nvidia haven't let us down when it comes to high pricing.

My arse stings just thinking about the £350 it will cost here in the UK.

Ah well, whatever.

You can already use an existing Android tablet and stream Steam to it with some software already available.

So it's literally just the controller you're paying for.

Yeah I read in a few mags that they weren't going to commit to the UK just yet.

I've got a really good Android tablet here I might have to investigate these methods of streaming to it. I think you need to pay a monthly sub on one of the apps so that would be me out.

I have a controller for my phone anyway and it didnt cost £350, I think people would rather use there pc's when gaming/streaming from there gpu. In my opinion its a very neiche market that the sheild is set towards

What sort of controller do you use? and how do you 'connect' it?

As I said I've got a really high end tablet I need to use more.

Right I took photos of it and skewed it as straight as I could with Photoshop so it should be completely legible.

If any one wants the article then pm me with an email addy and I'll send it over.
