    When you get it, could you post if it includes the right plug for us please? Sorry for going off topic.

    It will be a different plug coming from France surely ?

    Anyone know if currys.ie are going to match the price that their UK counterparts are selling this at? Have seen it on Hotukdeals at the amazon price in currys.co.uk but wondering if they'll do it here as well.

    Highly doubt it'll be that price in a B&M shop this side of the pond.

    Why would you buy one of these over a PS4?

    Is it more powerful, Ps4 ancient at this stage

    As a media centre is the shield OS locked down like Amazon Fire or pure android?

    Curious what's the appeal

    Android TV isn't that customisable. It's not locked down but you can side load apps that are not in the play store. There are no restrictions

    This is a different type of console, you can't really compare it to Xbox or PlayStation. It plays Android games, runs lots of emulators and streams pc games both from your pc if you have a Nvidia graphics card (Gamestream) or using Steam and Uplay running on a Nvidia virtual machine (GeforceNow).

    Google for a few reviews and videos

    That's should be pounds, not euro for anyone looking. Still a decent deal.

    Can’t you change the dns directly on the shield rather than use the hub

    Must have another go at it tonight, but from memory, I think it had to be changed from within the hub, though it's so long ago, I'm not entirely sure.

    I got caught by the stack social lifetime deal earlier in the year, so maybe that's where I'm being mixed up on.

    I remember the stack social debacle
    I know people have done it direct on the shield and lg tv too

    Not sure if others games are discounted, but Borderlands: The Pre Sequel is €3 odd (75% discount i think)

    Ya you can change it on the shield, just note down the details and then change it to static and change the DNS

    I guess it will probably be on sale a load of times between now and February. Always on sale anyway.
