I bought this a couple days ago. I have 4 older ones as well. Does Google assistant work out of the box or is it coming later? It is not working for me at all. No reviews I have seen say its coming later. How do I get it to work?

How's the battery on the new game pad compared to the old one?

[DWIGHTMONEY]

damn! 😨 that's sick! I gotta cop one of those! 😄

[DanielRichards]

will that Amazon Video be coming to the original Shield with the Nougat update?

[dabig]

Have the original Shield now so if still going to still get OS updates don't see a need to upgrade

[shallownat]

If I were to get the new controller only, am I missing out on anything at all?

[dawn-moon]

On Amazon.de it shows a picture with the remote and controller. Does this mean this comes as a bundle or are those just separate options ? If you only get the shield, how are you supposed to control it ? ( would a wireless PC Xbox One controller work ? :) )

[adammartensen]

Is it worth spending the extra $100 for the 500GB or will it work to use an external hard drive with 16GB?

[kleptocrat]

Doesn't matter if updates come quickly if the actual user experience is shit. I have the Shield Tablet, and no matter how many updates it receives, it still has the same 10+ second freezes with more than two background apps.

[Likeomgitznich]

So same internals...kinda glossed over that

[youngfreakrb]

im gonna buy that plus I love the controller much than the last controller

[RevafallDCUO]

Does anybody know if it support Flash and Java in the browsers you can get? So you can watch videos on websites etc.

[wesbaugher]

wait so i have to original Shield..bought it about 8 months ago...
Does it have the same specs as the new one?

And will any of the new featrues like google assistant be on the previous model

[OfficialSDFG]

not the first Android tv device to get Amazon....Sony had it beforehand.

[diamonddoof]

The only problem is this does not have 500 gb

[sammydelarosa]

Where is football on this machine? No Madden? What is going on?

[ayushsaha]

make shield controller wireless with pc

[steve-eyol]

Most people buy this for kodi I believe so a tad over priced could gel the xbox one for the same price also kodi has gone full circle and returning to its original birth place on the xbox with an app being developed.

I have the first generation of this device and yeah it's great but after all the updates has started to go Pete tong

I would just like to add a comma I recently purchased the product and let me tell you I've only had this product for about an hour and a half and I feel like it's the biggest mistake and it's such a headache
first it brings no type of instruction manual whatsoever so in order from someone like me an adverb Joel to operate it I have to constantly watch videos on YouTube to learn how to operate it which is absolutely ridiculous who sells a product 100 instruction manual and yes I understand those type of things can be downloaded but yet still for a consumer it is inconvenient
next I have been costly searching on YouTube on an instruction video on how to operate the remote use the air mouse capability another headache because for all the videos that I've watched and Soha far I've watched 11 of them none of them tell you exactly how to use the new remote all videos are of the old remote and even then they really don't explain much because the person who made the video is to psyched up on how great it is that they really truly never explain the main point which is how to operate it
guess it's just me but like I said I was really psyched up to get this product and now that I have it I'm running back to Best Buy tomorrow to give this back it is not worth the headache in my opinion
