    I'm pretty hyped for the Nvidia Shield. Sounds like a great way to bring next gaming at a cheaper price to consumers. for only $200 with access to google play and Grid titles this thing is shaping up to be a dope little piece of new tech. Even if the Console itself were to bomb, the X10 processor would be amazing as a smartphone processor. I think I may actually pick this one up. I may even sell my PS3 for it. My only suggestion would be steam integration. Like if the Console was also compatible with Linux or Windows based games, It could greatly increase the digital library for the Shield. Imagine access to all of Steam on your Shield. Sure it wouldn't be able to play recent more demanding titles like Assassins Creed Unity, but that's what we have the Grid service for. It could easily play a title like Kotor 2. Or Assassins Creed Rogue/3/Revelations. What are your thoughts on the Shield? Bomb or the next evolution in gaming?

    If you want steam integration, just buy a steam machine!
