the only weird thing to me is I already have an Android TV, but I still need an Chrome Cast to use it.
Cody
@huangdun They are suggesting most tv devices will be able to use it later on.
Ian Smith
@huangdun likely due to requiring Chromecast Ultra-level hardware to pull in the stream at acceptable levels of quality.
Dun
@iansmith If my tv can stream 4k youtube video, why wouldn't it be able to stream gaming video.
Ian Smith
@huangdun sure, sounds logical. But you should ask Google.
Dun
@iansmith right, it would be great if I knew someone from the team.

This continued normalization of sacrificing ownership for convenience is nauseating.

Pros:

The convenience of playing across devices and being able to play purchases immediately

Cons:

It allows you to consume content (that you don't own) immediately at the cost of having zero control and complete reliance on 3rd parties

So excited about this, love the pricing plan as well

I am in if they deliver what they are promising.

Well I was already hyped by this product and the gamplay displayed by Google , really looking for what it delivers and would it start a new streaming console battle .

Pros:

Just the need of this device and a good internet connection , all of this with just $129 is surprisingly a nice deal (as advertised by Google)

Cons:

No cons if Google stands on what it said .

Honestly this is great innovation but Stadia needs to have his own exclusive games which will sold it service otherwise when "Old players" like Xbox or PlayStation will represent their services similar to Stadia, by the way PlayStation Now currently work similarly Stadia will loos.

Sounds great!

is it that different from playing a game on your iPhone, iPad and AppleTV?
Stephanie McDonald
@husseinyahfoufi you can play on PC which widens the available games that a phone won't be powerful enough to drive the graphics.

I spent yesterday playing with Parsec and was super impressed with the latency. If Stadia is the next step forward, then I'm in, especially at this price point. I never want to own another gaming computer again. Until November comes, though, I might have to build a Pi into a Parsec thin client to hold me over...
