Potentially a really good deal IF you don't have a reasonably up-to-date console or computer. I can't help thinking that they need to be marketing this outside of core gamers? "Hey, want to play these cool games with great graphics but don't want the big fat outlay? We've got something for you!"

Seems like a really good deal, and an easy way to play games you'd normally have to pay a bunch of $$$ for the hardware for, but then I read NVs post from the first page and I don't want to contribute to this. Even though the library is thin atm, I see at least 5 games there that I would try out and possibly finish, which would normally run me about 250-300 bucks. Plus I'm sure their inventory will grow by leaps and bound by next year.

Aside from Destiny 2 (and presumably more to come) you still have to pay full price to buy each game you want to play.

Ah, that obviously makes things much different. I thought it was more along the lines of how Playstation Now works. But I guess for $10/mo, that would be way too good of a deal.
So I'll have to pay a full $60 for a retail game, and have to pay $10 a month just to access it? You can forget that.
Considering all the hardware costs $130, and the first year will cost you roughly another 100 in subscription fees, I would think most people are better off just picking up a used/new PS4 or Xbox 1.

Holy Cow! Google are bringing some big guns to the foray with their release line up for the Stadia! :eek:
It's still hard for me to see this as a legitimate console release and not a mobile gaming thingy-ma-jig...
Just wish I had the internet to support it, streaming games will be a nightmare :(

The article you linked to said the lineup was "not what I'd call an overwhelmingly impressive list." Am I missing the big guns here?
And I'm not sure what you mean by "legitimate console release," this doesn't have anything to do with consoles.

Destiny 2, Mortal Kombat 11, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Tomb Raider (Rise and Shadow) not big enough for you?
Borderlands 3 no good?
And it's not a "console" no, but you know what he means - this should be PS4 level gaming, just streamed.
The potential benefit I see are non-PS4 exclusives (I'd love to play Breath of the Wild) and cost perhaps. Death Stranding is 60 quid on PS4!

Those games don't personally do it for me, but others mileage may vary.
The thing about Stadia though, as I found out, is that you still have to pay for the games. So it's still 60 quid for Death Stranding. Some select games are free but not many.
And you can forget about playing Breath of the Wild, Nintendo would never go for that.

Those games don't do it for me either, but I can't deny they are considered "big" games.
Yes, you pay for the games, but you never paid for a 400 squid console.
