Nvidia's Project Shield - 'Android & Tegra 4 inside'

[monstercameron]

and why would you choose cramped handheld controller over mouse&keyboard or proper pc controller?

For exactly the same reasons you'd buy a Pandora instead of a laptop. Gaming on the go.

I don't understand or like it either BTW.

no, I ment in relation to playing your games at your desk or on the couch, cramped handheld is a fair compromise otg but at home?

Makes perfect sense to me.  Whats not to like about it.  

My favourite Handheld is the DS ,  Great Battery life, pocketable (sort of)  etc .  But I cannot play it more than an hour or 2 , the controls and design are just way to small and cramp worthy.  I'll take a handheld with real controller any day of the week.

that's super ugly.

I wanna see some other android games, GFE is stoopid, how are you going to use that on the road? and why would you choose cramped handheld controller over mouse&keyboard or proper pc controller?

It's Android...not PC.

I kind of like the design aesthetically speaking.  Looks like a design Alienware would have come up with.

Still can't believe they jammed three 3400mah batteries in it, should make for Pandora-ish battery life.

outch it's so ugly :/ 

Seriously it looks like an old Tiger or Kids game.

 

[vcoleiro1]

^  I think your drawing a long bow comparing it to that

 

[Nintendo]

Now, I want one!

 

[bismuthdrummer]

I like the design too, although I agree with ED they took a no-brainer approach. Which is good, frankly, I think what came out will ultimately work well. Not the prettiest thing but one would hope damn comfortable. Not pocketable either, but oh well, it's awesome.

 

[vcoleiro1]

If they price it right ($200 - $250 max)  Im in.  But it's Nvidia , they are not known to sell things cheaply even though they well could since they are making the T4 chip. Priced right , this could make huge waves,

 

[Nintendo]

Will the hardware be upgradeable for when Tegra 5 comes out??

Just heard about Project Shield:

http://www.polygon.com/2013/1/7/3845330/nvidia-unveils-project-shield-an-android-based-gaming-system-capable

Tegra4 processors, 5" retina display... sounds incredibly powerful, and could eat into the Pandora market.  Any thoughts?

does it have a keyboard ? Nope 

Is it going to be open hardware ? Nope.

Did you want to be a troll ? Yes.

Ugly? That looks like it's finally something you can hold in your hands for a while without suffering edge'n'corner-pressure-agony after a few minutes (lookin at you, pandora ).
