NOOOO! WHY DIDNT I PREORDER IT WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE?!

 

[festerovic]

^because its overpriced and you don't need it, thats why.

DLNA server + Roku box or equivalent =

Good way to find the most enthusiastic beta testers -- the ones that would otherwise be willing to pay.

They finally realized the xbox was cheaper and more powerful.

[citation][nom]jacekring[/nom]Yea was just going to say my x360 does the same exact things, and also plays games and DVD movies. I can stream AVI's and MP3 from my desktop to the 360, Pictures, etc. Use Netflix on my 360. I can do 1,000,000 more things on my 360 then the Nexus Q does and I don't know what a 360 costs nowadays but I believe it is less then the $299 they want for the Nexus.[/citation]

Don't get me wrong, I like my 360 just fine. But for anyone who doesn't have an Xbox and wants a device like the Nexus Q, I wouldn't recommend a 360. Paying for Xbox Live past one year alone blows your savings, and even then you would be better of with a small HTPC.

How about the PS3 then? Free online service and Blu-Ray player 😀

Yeah, that is better even with the bit extra cost. And you get a nice gaming platform to boot.

What little bit of extra costs? The xbox with HD is as much as the PS3.

360-250GB HD = $300
PS3-320GB HD = $300 (Includes COD:MW3 or Uncharted 3)

LOL no one that has commented so far noticed the built in amplifier, to my knowledge neither the XBOX or the playstation or Ruko or HTPC has this feature...not that I am a fan of the google device.

Oh so you can officially run your own code on 360s and PS3s now?
