    I wonder is the old Shield really the bargain alert? Where are people getting them, what's the price?

    The 2017 Shield uses 6-8 watts in standby / sleep. Legislation says it cannot use more than 0.5 watt in standby. It's a wonder they are allow sell it at all.
    Why do people quote legislation without actually reading it? A quick google brings back this:

    Specific requirements for network-connected standby devices were introduced in 2013. Since January 2017 networked standby devices must not consume more than 3 to 12 Watts depending on the product.

    Tempting to buy my 3rd one at that price. My 2015 model controller seems unresponsive and the kids need a second one. Makes more sense to buy the full package than £60 for just the gamepad.....

    yes you locked in that price and will get it shipped to you once it's back in stock. I might do the same... cheapest it's ever been on Amazon Uk has been £169.99 or €193 at today's exchange rate.
    would take the angst out of black friday

    Just placed the order (I convinced myself with the post above!).
    before you confirm the order it states:


    Commandez maintenant et nous vous informerons par e-mail dès que nous aurons une date estimée de livraison pour cet article.


    Something along the lines of: order today and we'll inform you by email when we'll have an estimated delivery date.


    Vive la France! ;-)

    Cheers again SuckIt for flagging the good bargain

    Look on YouTube if you want to see what it does. It does a lot more than what a smart TV does.

    Just got set up on my shield from Amazon France last night, great piece of kit.

    Even comes with EU and Irish plugs, so don't need an adaptor like I thought I would.

    Thanks again for the spot, @Suckit.

    Which version of this kit would ye recommend to a chap just to stream stuff on? No games or any of that would be used (for now at least!)

    You'd be better off (money wise) with a Xiaomi Mibox. The Shield is top of the line but that's because of the game aspect. The Mibox would handle your streaming needs no problem. The only potential issue is that it doesn't have a built-in ethernet port. If that's not a problem for you, it's a much cheaper way of getting what you're after.
