I don't really care about Stadia, but worth it for the Chromecast ultra alone! Free shipping too. Picked one up.
If you're interested, this deal adds a game for $8 more

Actually that deal is cheaper if you read the comments and use the 1st time $10 off code. Got RE Village and Stadia Pemier for $20

This is the old deal.

New deal is do a free trial of Google One (upgrades storage on email, photos, and cloud) to get 3 months of Stadia Pro free. After that use the $10 off they give you for joining Stadia and buy a $40 game for $30. If you buy a game for $30 or more you get Google Stadia Premier Edition free.
Exactly.

I am new to this and have very little knowledge about this thing.
Is it possible to use the controller with iPhone to play iPhone games?

Thank you!

I chatted with Stadia Support "As long as the purchase price for the game or bundle is $29.99 or above, you are eligible for the Stadia Premiere Edition offer. In other words, if the purchase price is $29.99 and you use the $10 coupon to bring the price to $19.99, you'll still be eligible for the offer."
yeah thats what i did for red dead redemption, how ever i only have stadia pro for one month as opposed to 3 months. so doing it through the the google one trial is still better

I got into Stadia last year with the Cyberpunk deal. The gamepad is fine, it's like a generic xbox controller. I didn't try it on my PC but from what I read it detects as a generic gamepad and should work fine, but in wired mode only?

You do not have to have a Stadia Pro subscription to play in 1080p, but 4K / HDR requires it. For the $10 a month sometimes you get deals or % off of purchases, ability to play in 4k, some "free" games every month.

https://support.google.com/stadia...8345?hl=en
https://stadia.google.com/pro

A word about those "free" games... they tend to suck. Seems like the same stuff you see on PS+, Humble Bundle, or free from Epic store etc. Don't expect any AAA stuff to show up. I ended up cancelling Stadia Pro after I finished Cyberpunk... none of the other games they offer interested me (Mafia 3 a little bit, but I also already have it from PS+)

Now as far as gaming experience goes... it is going to depend VERY heavily on your internet connection. I know that sounds obvious, but even having good internet doesn't automatically guarantee a 100% happy experience. I have 100mb FIOS, hard wired into my living room and into the Chromecast Ultra (it will accept ethernet). When I was playing, I was very aware of "peak time" when Stadia was busy and would make my gameplay hiccup or disconnect every so often. This window was usually 5pm-8pm CT. If I played earlier or later the service was not as busy and didn't experience nearly as many hiccups. Weekends were a crapshoot.

When it works, it works so smooth you forget you are streaming at all. Cyberpunk played well and looked great in 4k. When it gets choppy, it becomes frustrating with the hiccups, frame jumping, and outright disconnects.

Google being Google, they could decide to pull the plug at any time. This makes me wary of buying a bunch of games on Stadia... but OTOH there aren't that many games on there I would pay money for anyway.

TLDR - get it cheap and it's a good deal for a Chromecast ultra if nothing else.
The free Pro games certainly don't suck. Sure, they aren't triple A most of the time. But they have a good variety of kid friendly (Paw Patrol, Pikuniku), party games (Cake Bash, Avicii, Just Beats and Shapes), chill games (Hundred Days, Legend of Keepers), and fun action games (Wavetale, Control, Star Wars). December will see 6 more titles added to the Pro tier, with Wreckfest looking like a lot of fun to play with the kids.

We've had Stadia for a year now and our family absolutely loves the service.

Are there any free games (no subscription) or any way to hack for retro games?

There are a few free Stadia games. You can also use it as a wired USB controller on your computer for Steam and emulators. (Wireless functionality only works for Stadia.)

Personal taste I guess. I'm not interested in the indie stuff or the kiddie games. And the big titles (control, mafia, wreckfest etc) have all been out on different platforms (those 3 just mentioned have been PS+). So there is duplication if you have other consoles.

I can see Stadia being for popular with families and kids, there are certainly quite a few of those types of titles. For $10 a month and $20 controller/chromecast buy in, it is certainly a cheap device for the kids to beat on. Even cheaper if you just use a pc and whatever controller you have laying around, just play in chrome.

Quote from sealove1982 :

No, it is very generic looking and feeling, on par with a $20 Amazon controller. It's not terrible, and is totally usable, but no it's not as good as Xbone or Dualshock controllers.

Quote from fanfan2 :

No, online service all streaming. You might want to look into hacking/jailbreaking an Amazon Fire stick or a Raspberry Pi for retro stuff.

If you like wireless/bt gaming and mostly native button support on xbox and pc. Go xbox. If not and you'd rather much prefer usb c and a built in rechargeable battery, go stadia controller.

They actually have free games that do not require a subscription. I believe Crayta, SuperBomberMan R, and maybe Destiny 2 are straight up free to play.

I don't know if there is a hack, but you can definitely buy a retro game for $1.49.
  • DOOM 64 from 1997 on the Nintendo 64 platform is available on Stadia with a Black Friday sale for $1.49.
  • For something a lot newer, the first rebooted Tomb Raider game is available for $2.99. (also Black Friday sale)

Chromecast Ultra was far ahead of its time in specs at launch, and easily wins the Chromecast Ultra vs. Chromecast 3rd Gen battle. However, the Chromecast with Google TV also offers 4K HDR and Dolby Vision and Atmos, which the Ultra doesn't offer. Plus, while the Ultra has no remote or apps, the Google TV model offers thousands of free apps and a remote with built-in Google Assistant support. The Chromecast with Google TV is also more affordable, and Google has currently removed the Ultra from its stores and stopped stocking the Ultra on third-party retailers.

So, with the Ultra all but defunct, why buy one? Because it's the only Chromecast that works with Stadia and can stream games on a television. The Chromecast with Google TV will reportedly get access to Stadia streaming sometime in the first half of 2021, but that means you'll have to wait for the update.

You can play Stadia on your phone, PC or laptop, but streaming games on your TV in 4K is an awesome perk. If you decide you don't want to wait for Google to add the service, then you can buy the Google Stadia Premiere Edition, which includes a new Chromecast Ultra and the excellent Stadia controller. With these in hand, you'll get access to our favorite Stadia games months before Chromecast with Google TV owners.

The Ultra will never get access to Google TV, but many buyers won't mind: there are plenty of Chromecast alternatives for you to try for streaming, while relying on the Ultra for casting specifically
One very distinct difference is that the one with the Google TV registers as a media player with some services (like Fubo TV). The Chromecast Ultra does not and counts as a mobile stream. This matters for simultaneous steaming purposes on these types of accounts.

Just received mine, and it was manufactured on 9/2019, months before Stadia officially launched. This thing is clearly a massive failure.
