It was same price during Prime week less than a month ago.

Maybe they're realizing they need to discount this now due to its ancient hardware.

Every time this drops to this price, there's a lengthy discussion about age of hardware, capabilities and comparisons to other equipment.

For anyone interested, a simple search will provide much information. I've had mine since this version came out and it serves my purpose.

Coincidence that it drops after the Google streamer was announced?

The remote also adjusts volume on my receiver.
Ancient yes, but still the best out there for local streaming

If you are wondering why people like this older hardware, the "next-generation AI upscaling" works pretty well for people who have lower quality streams or use Kodi or Plex.

I've heard it both ways. Some say the upscaling works well, some say it actually made it worst than the original. Confused

I trawled conversations about this for months casually, and in the end bought one used on ebay for $135 have zero regrets. I used to have an appleTV 4k, then a roku ultra, and I like the shield tv pro best. It's not slow, I can side-load apps, I used ProjectIvy to make the home screen what I wanted, and it direct plays all of my MKV plex rips instead of transcoding everything like my ATV did.

Good unit, but Nvidia really needs to put a new model out already with a better remote and all codecs supported.

The released google device will not have better specs than this (aside from a faster ethernet port) IIRC

How does that make sense? It's easy to stream at the highest possible quality in Plex and Kodi. Especially if you're streaming locally.
