The media could not be loaded.
Come birthday time. This past April. I was looking to upgrade my fire stick.
Then I started talking about buying a new gaming device. I’m not really big into gaming, but I like to play some games every now and again.
My brother-in-law is telling me about the Nvidia shield gaming edition. I’m like well it’s $200 I don’t know blah blah blah
So I go with him to Best Buy to pick up his. We go back to the house, I help him set it up, by the time I go home I’m sold.
Less than one month later I place my order here on Amazon for my very own Nvidia shield gaming edition.
Everything I like to do has been put into one strong stable android/Google device
This set up was easy. The user interface is easy to navigate. You don’t get lost in setting after setting in sub setting after sub setting only to keep exiting to have to start all over again. You know what I mean LOL
If you are new to setting up equipment like this it might seem a little daunting, at first, but trust me when I tell you, after using this device a few times you are a pro.
You quickly learn how to tweak it to your preferred settings and you are off to the races.
The games I have been able to play for free. Free. 100% free. Have blown my freaking mind. I am loving the Harry Potter Lego, Batman Arkham asylum, etc.
There are so many fun games for all age levels, experience levels, interests, etc. even fortnight.
It’s also cool because you can buy games and store them right here on the device.
Same goes for movies from the Google play store, vudu , fandango, prime, etc.
I’ve had to use a few APK files
To download a few of my favorite apps such as titanium, but that was very simple to do.
For some crazy AF reason DIRECTV now app does not allow the Google play store to carry it. So I had to use an APK to access my monthly subscription. But that’s OK. I’m willing to do these few extra steps because the Nvidia shield is worth it.
I put a few pictures attached to this review. There is also a six minute video I made for a friend of mine.
Definitely not professional YouTube quality, but it will give you a quick description/explanation of what I do with my Nvidia shield.
Of course there was a lot more I could have put in there, but I ended before I really went off lol
I’ll admit I was quite skeptical. This device is not something I hear about a lot. Which is quite surprising to me.
I watch a lot of the tech review channels on YouTube, follow a lot of the tech pages, etc. and Nvidia shield gaming edition comes up sporadically .
I loved my fire stick. Have nothing against it. Except for the gb limitations . Same goes for my Apple TV.
All in all, if you are truly looking to cut the cord, just have your regular Internet connection, this device is something everybody in your family will love.
You don’t even have to subscribe to Netflix or DIRECTV now app- like I do.
The only reason why I even get the DIRECTV NOW is because of the deep discount I get because of my cell phone plan. If that did not exist, that app would not exist on my device.
I truly don’t even need Netflix with things such as cyber flicks and titanium, but I have multiple people sharing the cost w/me.
You could also personalize by adding in a memory stick/card with your own videos/movies, I listen to music every day with my iHeartRadio app, watch YouTube, I’ve even surfed the net a few times.
I put a few of my personal pictures to use as screensavers/wallpaper
I’ve barely touched what this thing is capable of in the short amount of time I have owned it.
I did not think there is a device like this out there. That will allow me to completely cancel my expensive cable package.
Like I said with apps such as titanium and cyber flicks, or if you prefer get something like Kodi, Netflix and sling TV are things of the past.
I might come along and edit my review as time passes.
All in all, the price is going to pay for itself in less than six months. I do suggest getting a decent Internet speed package. If you get the lowest cheapest package you might have problems with streaming. Get something in the middle to the highest you can afford. I started off with the cheapest package available and there was constant buffering and sputtering and it was a nightmare.

I have the middle priced package at less than 50 bucks a month for my Internet connection, and I am as happy as a white gal on pumpkin spice latte release day (I am One of them PSL gals BTW )
Like I said, this is definitely something everybody in your family can get good use out of. From regular TV watchers to gamers. A good selection of apps. I don’t see how you can lose with this device.
