      I have the first SHIELD TV. It is a slick device, and my preferred media streaming device. (I've used a Roku 2, as well as consoles, for streaming.) My only complaint is that it doesn't yet have an official Amazon video app, but that's being fixed (finally) in the new one. Game streaming from a PC also works pretty well, though gaming on it isn't a primary use of mine.

        Pretty much, you also get access to gamestream (Nvidia s paid game streaming service) and premium Android games made for Nvidia tegra stuff.

        Basically it's the best Android TV box there is.

          If you get the Pro version, or plug in a USB hard drive, I believe it can also be a Plex server. If you're looking for that kind of thing.
