you can do some really basic gaming on that thing too.

i've used the original shield, mack brought it here and i played some tony hawks pro skater on it and it was loving strange that i was playing a console game in my hands.

but for the tablet, you're getting literally the best of the best hardware wise, it will last you for a very long time most likely and it's worth the jump.

There's also that stream feature

that'd go well with my new fiber optic internet I'm getting

theres just not that many titles for it, worthy of the price imo

not worthy*
I just don't think the power it has is needed for a "gaming" tablet, if you're looking to use it for that.
Just my opinion though

It's more powerful than most tablets out there

I wish I could afford one of those. I'm going for a nexus 7 instead because those are nice bang for buck tablets for gaming

I'm going less for gaming and more for its streaming and tablet pen feature

I was looking at the surface 2 which is on sale right now for 300$ but I'm just poking around and I've had my eyes on this

I decided to buy it for cyber monday as it came with a free green box bundle, controller and GRID gaming system

looking forward to it.

if anyone else is interested in the deal here; http://shield.nvidia.com/promotions/

only on till midnight though so its probably not that useful
