[3345.64 --> 3347.64] Now, what's the payment plan stuff for this? |
[3347.64 --> 3349.64] Does it just come with a shield, or...? |
[3349.64 --> 3350.64] Okay. |
[3350.64 --> 3356.64] So the beta's been free for anyone with a shield, and the non-beta is free for anyone with |
[3356.64 --> 3358.64] a shield until June 2015. |
[3358.64 --> 3359.64] Okay. |
[3359.64 --> 3362.64] So you get about six months of free access to the gaming service. |
[3362.64 --> 3363.64] Pretty good, actually. |
[3363.64 --> 3365.64] That's a lot more than a trial. |
[3365.64 --> 3366.64] Yes. |
[3366.64 --> 3372.64] Which, considering the cost of something like a shield tablet, and a controller, when you |
[3372.64 --> 3377.64] look at the shield tablet as, oh, it's also a very competent 7-inch tablet, it's actually |
[3377.64 --> 3378.64] a pretty darn compelling value. |
[3378.64 --> 3382.64] Yeah, that feels a lot like the... I'm trying to remember the name of it, but those HP |
[3382.64 --> 3383.64] things. |
[3383.64 --> 3385.64] Yeah, yeah, yeah, the streams. |
[3385.64 --> 3387.64] Yeah, where you get so much stuff with them. |
[3387.64 --> 3391.64] Yeah, where you get not just value-add stuff that's like, hey, you got a 30-day trial of |
[3391.64 --> 3392.64] McAfee. |
[3392.64 --> 3393.64] Can I interest you in paying us some... |
[3393.64 --> 3394.64] It's not even value-add. |
[3394.64 --> 3395.64] It's just like... |
[3395.64 --> 3396.64] Yeah. |
[3396.64 --> 3400.64] Where there's real value-adds that are relevant to the people who are using that device. |
[3400.64 --> 3401.64] Yeah. |
[3401.64 --> 3404.64] So you get six months for free if you buy a shield now. |
[3404.64 --> 3411.14] They're recommending 10 megabits per second down and 60 millisecond ping or less to your |
[3411.14 --> 3414.64] nearest grid server, but they're expanding their grid server network. |
[3414.64 --> 3416.64] So there's already the one in California. |
[3416.64 --> 3419.64] They've added one in Indiana. |
[3419.64 --> 3422.64] And EU and Asia are soon to come. |
[3422.64 --> 3425.64] So it looks like what they're building is... |
[3425.64 --> 3428.64] It looks like it's meant to be about like Netflix for games. |
[3428.64 --> 3429.64] Yeah. |
[3429.64 --> 3433.64] Now, you can say what you will about the 60 millisecond additional latency. |
[3433.64 --> 3436.64] That is not going to be palatable for certain types of games. |
[3436.64 --> 3439.64] Are you going to play CSGO with an extra 60 milliseconds of lag? |
[3439.64 --> 3440.64] No. |
[3440.64 --> 3441.64] No. |
[3441.64 --> 3442.64] But you probably wouldn't have played that on a controller. |
[3442.64 --> 3443.64] But are you going to play Darksiders? |
[3443.64 --> 3444.64] Sure, why not? |
[3444.64 --> 3445.64] Probably. |
[3445.64 --> 3447.64] That's probably fine. |
[3447.64 --> 3448.64] Cool. |
[3448.64 --> 3449.64] Yeah. |
[3449.64 --> 3450.64] All right. |
[3450.64 --> 3451.64] They've also got other news. |
[3451.64 --> 3454.64] The Shield tablet is getting Android 5.0 Lollipop in a few days. |
[3454.64 --> 3455.64] I... |
[3455.64 --> 3456.64] They're going to be... |
[3456.64 --> 3457.64] They're going to be... |
[3457.64 --> 3458.64] I think... |
[3458.64 --> 3460.64] I was on the phone with someone from Nvidia today, actually. |
[3460.64 --> 3461.64] And he was saying... |
[3461.64 --> 3465.64] I don't remember if he said they're going to be the first or one of the first. |
[3465.64 --> 3469.64] One of the first device makers whose name is not Google to have Lollipop on their device. |
[3469.64 --> 3474.64] I mean, Nvidia committed back when they launched Shield Portable to prompt Android updates. |
[3474.64 --> 3475.64] Yeah. |
[3475.64 --> 3476.64] But come on. |
[3476.64 --> 3477.64] We've heard that. |
[3477.64 --> 3478.64] Yeah. |
[3478.64 --> 3479.64] Over and over again. |
[3479.64 --> 3483.64] How many prompt Android updates have you gotten for your Galaxy device? |
[3483.64 --> 3486.64] One per device is usually about the general rule. |
[3486.64 --> 3487.64] Yeah. |
[3487.64 --> 3493.64] And then you might get an update, but everyone else has been using it for six months, nine |
[3493.64 --> 3495.64] months by the time you get it, if at all. |
[3495.64 --> 3496.64] Yeah. |
[3496.64 --> 3498.64] Whereas Nvidia's like, on this! |
[3498.64 --> 3499.64] Yeah. |
[3499.64 --> 3502.64] It's actually kind of absolutely fantastic, if I do say so myself. |
[3502.64 --> 3503.64] It's nice to see that. |
[3503.64 --> 3504.64] It's nice to see that. |
[3504.64 --> 3507.64] Especially when you're getting a device that like... |
[3507.64 --> 3514.64] Talking to people that aren't you about Shield is like, often they don't really know what it is. |
[3514.64 --> 3515.64] Yeah. |
[3515.64 --> 3517.64] Or they're like, eh, is there really a lot of support for it? |
[3517.64 --> 3518.64] Like, I don't really see anyone using it. |
[3518.64 --> 3519.64] Like, I don't really see anyone using it. |
[3519.64 --> 3523.64] Now, I see it around a fair amount when looking at stuff like our forum. |
[3523.64 --> 3524.64] Yeah. |
[3524.64 --> 3527.64] And like, within the office and like these closed ecosystems. |
[3527.64 --> 3532.64] But, I got a message from someone either on the forum or Twitter, where they told me how |
[3532.64 --> 3535.64] the Shield was kind of embarrassing to be out and about with because people kept asking |
[3535.64 --> 3536.64] if it's a portable Xbox. |
[3536.64 --> 3538.64] Sorry, just go on. |
[3538.64 --> 3540.64] But yeah, just to illustrate the point. |
[3540.64 --> 3544.64] But yeah, like, it's very new and it's very different. |
[3544.64 --> 3546.64] So people are a little bit skeptical about it. |
[3546.64 --> 3550.64] So I think it's actually really good for them that they're getting these, like, they're |
[3550.64 --> 3554.64] pushing the update thing really, really hard and they're actually repeatedly getting these |
[3554.64 --> 3559.64] really early updates, which is awesome because that's just going to increase confidence that |
[3559.64 --> 3560.64] they are interesting products. |
[3560.64 --> 3561.64] And they are. |
[3561.64 --> 3562.64] They're really good. |
[3562.64 --> 3564.64] Would you buy an Nvidia phone? |
[3564.64 --> 3567.64] Actually, probably. |
[3567.64 --> 3570.64] Because I know you're not into the tablet thing so much. |
[3570.64 --> 3571.64] Not really. |
