A lot of my stance is based on the average user, we aren't the average user. The average user doesn't make BD images so this won't replace a bluray player, this is Android based so it can't DVR, only view Live TV, unless I'm mistaken, and I think it will supplement gaming, but I don't see it replacing hardcore gamers PCs or the PS4/XboxOne, but I guess time will tell. As Topken said above, using it for emulation should be awesome, even the Ouya handled N64 emulators pretty well, so this should have no issues.

I think most realistic people know you can't get everything for less than $100.00. I know some come on here and want the world for less but their are just being a bit ridiculous..
To us on here wanting it for streaming I think the gaming aspect is probably second and might not even use it. I think most that game now a days are using a PC or have a established console. Android doesn't have the gaming catalog that PC and Consoles have. Even Linux games have been a slow process..
When you guys mention emulation are you still talking about using Android to emulate?
A lot of this discussion stemmed from me stating I hope they put out a $139 version of the console alone (based on the controller being $59, they are valuing the console itself at $139). I already have a Harmony, don't need the controller and would rather use my Harmony than the remote.
If there was a $139 version of the box alone, a $180 version boxed with the remote (based on Tinwarble's view that the remote is prob closer to $39), and a $199 version boxed with the controller, I think the box alone and the version boxed with the remote would sell many more among our crowd.
I agree even at $200 the box alone is worth it if it does everything we think it's going to. I'm going to buy 1 to start, and up to 3 for my house depending on how it works.
