Just curious. You were that ANDROID? I've just noticed the texts above your Avatar. What's the reason for the change? Not interested in Android anymore?

my normal handle was previously taken on these forums, I'm snesfan everywhere else I go. I periodically checked and it was always registered but never used. I checked a couple days ago and it was free so I switched.Just curious. You were that ANDROID? I've just noticed the texts above your Avatar. What's the reason for the change?

If ebay charge that much, why not just skip them altogether and just use paypal?I really want one, but since it just came out, and the emu's need some tweaking, I figured I would just sale some to help pay for mine(when the time comes, hopefully within the next month or so).
This is only available in the US and Canada currently, so although Newegg has had steady stock for the last week, no official retailers sale this internationally. This is where I come in
After being raped by Ebay and Paypal, I'll make a solid 50-60 bucks per unit. Nothing crazy, but I sale on Ebay by trade, so I'm dealing with sales, packages and the postal system regularly, so it's just a little help to me and those who want one overseas.

Not bad. But God of War is still unplayable IMO. Soul Calibur and Dissidia are the same.
Well technically, I can, but where do I get the business from? I can't use Ebay, and then once the person wins, then I ask them to cancel and go through Paypal only, that is against there policy. I have sold items directly to consumers at certain points, but unless I have my own website, I must use Ebay and pay the "Piper".If ebay charge that much, why not just skip them altogether and just use paypal?I really want one, but since it just came out, and the emu's need some tweaking, I figured I would just sale some to help pay for mine(when the time comes, hopefully within the next month or so).

Oh, I assumed you were just selling, I didn't realize you were auctioning. I've seen some on ebay, but there's an extra $100 import fee, so that's like ~$500 or so, a little rich for my blood.Well technically, I can, but where do I get the business from?

Depends on the state, but for the most part internet purchases are tax free
Depending on where you buy it, yeah there is tax. I try to use Newegg, as I'm not in a state where they are located, so I don't get charged tax. Same for Amazon, but I do have a distribution center in my state, but Nevada has weird tax laws because of the legal gambling. I would have gone with them, but they are currently not a seller.
Nvidia is charging tax to all buyers, and Gamestop does the same as well I believe. So My Newegg units where 299.99, plus 15 or so dollars shipping, so that made each unit about 303 and some change total.

Ok, so I know this sounds dumb but I connected my icp to my shield and there is like no lag at all.... the whole reason to get the shield for me was the presence of latency with bluetooth controllers and for some mysterious reason its as good as using the hardware controls... check it out

Isn't it overkilled? The shield has physical controls so why use icp for it?

2 players or gaming over hdmi as a super charged ouya... it's overkill for sure, I am preparing a "retro gaming" review and I wanted to cover all bases to see if I can find any flaws
Sounds good, I look forward to your review. Especially one from a retro gaming standpoint.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.Looks like Nvidia are launching a new Android Handheld Console powered by the new Tegra 4 and featuring a full game controller and 5 inch ips touch screen. They are claiming 38 hours of gaming from the battery - I think this a typo though. I'll update this when I find the real figure.
Some details:
* Tegra 4 SOC
* A micro SD slot
* HDMI output
* USB port
* Audio jack
* Clamshell design
* Stereo Speakers :- Custom, bass-reflex, tuned port audio system delivers fidelity and custom range never before experienced on a portable device
* customizable 5-inch "retinal display" touchscreen. It's a 1280 x720 screen at 294 dpi, for the record.
* 5-10 Hours solid gaming battery life maybe longer , 24 hours HD video playback - No real firm spec on this - Seems to be a huge 38Whr battery. Photos and video show 3 x 3400mah (10200mah total) batteries in it.
* 802.11n 2x2 MIMO game-speed Wi-Fi
* JellyBean OS - this may change on release
* Ability to play PC and Steam games via piping
* No LTE
* Available Q2
See Details here:

Must admit, based on first glance specs, this is going to be a real threat to the PS Vita. Up until now , Android Gaming devices have been lower speced, poorly backed (mostly form china) . This thing has better specs than the Vita and is backed by a fairly big company (Nvidia) . Sounds like the Android Handheld gaming console everyone has been waiting for.
EDIT: I've made a temporary edit on the thread title.

Conduit is real good FPS for the Shield.

respawnables is showing potential for being a crazy good 3rd person arena shooter. It's pretty buggy in it's initial release, but does *technically* work with the shield's controls

When are us UK residents going to get some shield love
It's supposed to be playable at the Eurogamer Expo, so I'm guessing it will be coming there at some point. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-08-12-nvidia-shield-playable-at-eurogamer-expo-2013
