Seems pretty lame.

It won't work. It will get as hot as the sub, be slow as hell, and pc gaming is mouse/keyboard

Nonetheless it is sick, but I don't think it will work and be practical.

It's designed for NVidia optimised games on Steam that you can play with controllers, so I imagine it'd be pretty decent actually. With the right ventilation it could work.

Yeah, I read somewhere that it's supposed to work well with Steam Big Picture so it'll be useful for playing on your TV without having a PC nearby.

For all the people saying it will get to hot, it doesn't actually run the pc games, it just streams them from the computer, the only games it can run are ones for android.

Still, cool idea...

What a waste....

Pretty much what I envisioned a portable Xbox being. Plug the screen into the controller.

I'd like a price, and a better controller. Though seeing Skyrim on that screen was pretty awesome (probably shopped, unfortunately).

"You can't touch music, but music can touch you."

I feel like the reason the PC gamers prefer PC games is because of the presence of a mouse and the ability to mod games. I'm not saying this is a bad idea, I just think that given the arguments that usually ensue between console and pc gamers that a pc gamer wouldn't go for something that resembles a console experience.

I like how they designed it around the controller. Biggest issue I had with the PsP vita was that it was uncomfortable. I also like that I can stream games from my PC.

Problem is I have a 580 and I just cant see any reason to go out and buy a 680 plus the device to play around my house. Neat idea but I think it will come down to cost for me.

blarg.

That looks pretty cool, the Tegra 4 sound promising from what I've heard so far. Reminds me of the PSOne.

The screen on the device also had a GTA V icon. Maybe there will be an exclusive port?

Looks like a pretty slick Indie game platform.

Ha, it has a screenshot of Skyrim. Yeah, that ain't happenin'. This is a definite buy for me though.

Just imagine a version with 4G and the screen is removable and functions as a phone as well...Basically a phone that connects to a miniature computer.
