Just got an alert for the Shield TV going for $245 on Amazon.ca. It's $250 all in!
Remote not included.
Last I checked the seller had 4 items in stock.
Don't forget GCR and Ebates. GCR has 2.75% on Video Games category for Amazon.

where do you see no remote? probably only 1 remote, not 2. But there must be a remote right?

Nvidia Shiled TV doesn't include remote... you need to buy it.
It contains remote only when it has promo.

I think you guys might be getting mixed up on terminology. The Nvidia Shield comes with 1 game controller. I feel like you are trying to refer to that as a "remote". There is also a remote (like a TV/DVD remote) but it is sold separately. The remote is not needed to operate the Nvidia Shield if you are content to use the game controller.

Also, being an HDMI-CEC device, the Nvidia Shield can be operated with some television remotes. Confirmed with Sony 850C television's remote.

Or you can use your phone to control it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... .tv.remote

I have been hearing really good things about this little unit.

Bought mine for $269.99 back in April. Best android tv box out there. I use the android tv remote app on my iPhone. Works great.

I bought one of these last year to serve as an HTPC and it hasn't disappointed. Between the apps for Google Play Music, Kodi and Netflix, it does everything I want. It's also dead simple to use which is great for when my parents come over or for when my wife uses it on a daily basis.

still best box on the market

also it plays ps3/360 quality games, and streams current gen ones on Nvidia's graphics cloud computers with their Geforce NOW service

Can be used as a Plex server now as well.

which is freaking amazing for such a tiny device, smaller than a Nexus 7 tablet so it's pretty portable

Don't forget it also can stream 4k content as it has HDMI 2.0 connection. I've had this unit almost a year and it's great. It is pricier than other options but when you consider all that it has the potential to do (and do it with no lag)it is well worth it in my opinion.

I'm getting $285?

Decent deal on a great device; I've got two of them running Plex, playing ROMs, streaming games from the PC. Can't recommend the Shield TV highly enough!

Edit --- must have sold out at that price!

Nothing beats Kickstart v1.3, eh?

The shield TV + remote combo seems to go on sale regularly for USD199 (~CAD 259), the latest sale being just last month.
Now that Plex server is supported, i'm finally in the market for one of these as well, but I'm reluctant to pay anymore than that price, even if it means ordering from the states next time it goes on sale again.

B&H currently has the Shield tv on sale for $179.00 US.
