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

Got my first one yesterday and played all evening and it worked so good for me, that I ordered 2 more. 1 for my other TV, and another as a gift. They keep coming back in stock, so if interested, keep trying.

Technically the free with game offer is a better deal, but they keep going in and out of stock and that coupon is only good until the 11th, so I figured there is a bit of risk with that deal 22.22 is an amazing deal I can lock in now, and it will ship sooner than waiting for a code.

You mean delivers WHEN and IF the slack ass delivery drivers at FedEx decide to deliver it. Still waiting on mine from the first deal that was posted. Also still waiting on something that was shipped the first week of November! Mad

I've had same experience with FedEx. Pain in the behind with their estimates

I have two packages from different companies that have been rescheduled by FedEx. I understand being overwhelmed, but one of my packages has been on the truck for delivery for the last three days and then gets rescheduled each time.

If you have some on a truck from a previous day, give those priority and deliver them first the next day.

My Fed Ex guy delivered some packages at 8:50 pm last night. I have a hard time calling the drivers lazy when they are working overtime on a Sunday. The volume of packages they are dealing with right now is just unbeleivable.
Quote from DataMeister :
Having original stock for more than two years and not needing to manufacture more. So it's either a failure where they failed to sell as many as they expected or they are really bad at managing their warehouse to keep the stock fresh.

The one exception here could be indicated by the packaging. If they have this Controller + Chromecast in a single box then maybe they are selling their individual controllers just fine, but the old Chromecast Ultra is killing sales of this bundle. But, if this bundle is made up of the individually boxed items, then it is a better indication that no one is buying these things.
It's both items in a single box. Mine was manufactured 9/2019, so it's very old stock.

Just like with most google things, marketing could be better. I mean this is basically a gaming console replacement for $80 regular price. That should have been easy to sell, especially to casual gamers. But most people have never heard of it.

Both items in a single box makes for a much harder sell. So it could be that the stand-alone controllers are selling just fine, but they just couldn't get rid of the bundle. Plus they might be getting ready for the Google TV bundle and need the warehouse space. That could make getting rid of these much more appealing to Google than trying to make any profit.

I am so unbelievably happy with this purchase. The Stadia controller is my favourite controller I've ever held and I love how it looks. It's quite tragic you can't use it as a standalone wireless controller (WiFi wireless is pretty awful on PC) or via Bluetooth but it's very easy to get it to work as a wired controller.
A 4K 60fps Chromecast for $22 and a free controller, honestly an incredible deal and who knows, maybe Google can turn the Stadia ship around.

I think their biggest issue is their reputation for abandoning things. I don't think nice controllers will be enough to fix that. What they need to do is establish a "GamesAnywhere" type of agreement with publishers. If someone buys a game license on Stadia, Steam, Epic, Microsoft, etc., let them use it with any participating platform that the game runs on.

And I don't mind if that feature can only be used on Stadia with a Pro subscription, like renting a console in the cloud. But the same game needs to run on a local piece of hardware also, just in case Google one day abandons the platform. I don't want to lose $2,000 or more in game purchases if Google gives up, so I'm not willing to buy more than a few dollars from them (as a test) unless that risk is becomes non existent.

Do you not have anything else that will run it already? PC, Phone, Tablet, nVidia Shield, Google TV?

I just received my Google Stadia Premiere Edition a few days ago. I agree with you. Chromecast Ultra is shit. In order to setup the Stadia app, you need to subscribe to their Stadia Pro and provide a payment method. I stopped right there. I will not be using Stadia.

No duh, you didn't do your research first..If you want to use Stadia just to play games on your TV, you'll need to subscribe monthly..

Out the box set up was needlessly difficult, I could not get the controller working with the chromecast very easily. After a few hours it finally worked for me but was just not a good experience. If the controller could be used wirelessly with, say steam or otherwise my PC and not with stadia it wouldnt have been so bad but I really dislike the chrome cast and the controller has a decent feel to it but won't work outside of Stadia (wirelessly anyway.)

I didn't realize the controller was limited to wired on other platforms. Still a good deal, I saw somewhere you can get six months of Peacock Plus on activation. Google has other offers too if you go into your Google Home app.

well returning might be premature. I don't don't know why some have problems, I think it's localized, some interference or something. You also just missed the latest big update. https://www.droid-life.com/2021/1...ed-update/

Battle of the boxes, the Fire TV just got a new Smart Dashboard feature. Maybe some just aren't set up for google, I've seen some Android TV setups that are nightmares.
