    Cracking 4k games system/Android box at a very good price.

    I dont think I have seen them cheaper especially with a free remote thrown in as an extra sweetener.

    Very tempted by this.

    I assume there's no issue installing certain other streaming apps not on the Play Store too?

    I would be very surprised if they cant be rooted.

    I bought one yesterday.

    Seemingly no bother to sideload.

    QUICK:

    head over to amazon.fr and select the 16gb version but also add the remote separately.

    when you get to the til the remote will be deducted:

    this i is the cheapest so far that I can find so far...

    Would it not be cheaper to ship 2 parcel motel/wizard? Free UK shipping!

    Half way down the product page on the Amazon there is a Special Offers and Product Promotions section.

    You can add the remote there and the discount is taken at the checkout.

    I sent it Parcel Wizard to get it for the £119.99 price including free delivery.

    Thanks OP and The Lone Ranger

    Basically Parcel Wizard gives you a UK address to use, allowing you to avail of free UK delivery where possible. This is then forwarded to your own house. You get the first 3 deliveries free of charge too :D

    There's a thread here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057517076 about it.

    It's a new service similar to Parcel Motel in that they give you a UK forwarding address to send purchases to but unlike Parcel Motel they then deliver them directly to your house.

    You get 3 free uses of the services to be used before the end of the year for signing up.

    Amazon.co.uk = £119 (169.20) shipped via parcel wizard

    Amazon.fr = €174.24 shipped direct to house.


    not much in it, so I'm not gonna moan :D

    Anyone see any deals on the stand. I wouldn't want to pay more than 20e though. It should come with the set.

    Damn my lack of self control, just bought from amazon.co.uk. Add in the remote and it gets discounted just before you pay.And free delivery.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,268 ✭✭✭✭uck51js9zml2yt


    Won't the French one have a 2 pin plug?

    Got it from UK. €183 to here.
    Be careful using PW/pm. It ships as 2 parcels.
    At least direct it can be grouped to get free delivery

    It's €166 from France through Parcel Wizard. The power supply comes with UK and EU adapter so no problem there:

    Edit: Shield tablet comes with dual adapter, not sure about the tv box

    The stand is too pricey for me. Maybe something to buy in the future, but there may be a Chinese knock off stand :)

    oit really, Half Life 2, Portal and the like.

    The Streaming service has around 50 titles and you get 3 months free.

    I will be using it for Emulation and streaming from my PC

    Why are you shipping from France to the UK. Try Amazon.co.uk

    Ref number and DPD wizard on line one
    Unit number info and trench road on line 2.

    I imported the Pro version (500GB hard drive) from the US Amazon site months ago. It's poorly supported to be honest. Also it came with a US 2 pin adapter and it's impossible to get a replacement. People have been asking on the Nvidia forums for months. It's working fine with a travel adapter though...

    It arrived yesterday and set up last night. Very impressed with build and speed of system. It is very responsive and simple to use.

    Would love if someone had an update on this or are all the deals gone?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,268 ✭✭✭✭uck51js9zml2yt


    Guys, this is back on Amazon France,Germany and UK.

    Works out about £133.25 direct to your house (about €188 ) I used Revolut and need to figure out what it cost me.I think it worked out at €184 so a few eur saving)
    Not quiet as good as the last time but still good.

    I looked at other platforms but germany and france will charge postage to PM/PW so it works out a bit dearer in the end!

    They charged me postage but I got onto chat to get it reversed.


    Edit to say its probably as good a deal as last(almost(almost) time as we had to use 2 free PW deliveries valued at €7.60.

    Could someone who has one of these from Amazon UK confirm something for me please? Is the power adapter a black unit with a three prong power tip that slots into it?

    I ask because I imported my Shield Pro from America. I'm trying to get their CS to send me a UK power tip but they're insisting it's a normal plug. They linked to this:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=uk+adapter+plug+&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Auk+adapter+plug+

    I'm fairly sure they're wrong.....
