I bought a Shield not too long ago and I love it. But the $200 price point didn't make it a simple purchase -- I was reluctant to shell out that cash. I've bought a Chromecast, FireTV, etc, and they all end up being quite a bit of a letdown. So it was risky to dive into another device at a much higher price point. So $250 -- even higher than the shield -- is really pushing that comfort zone further.
And again, I'm so glad I bought the Shield. It's not without it's issues, but I love it. But I'd still be very reluctant buying something even more expensive.
- SwellJoe 9y agoI have a FireTV Stick that I bought during the introductory offer to Prime customers for $19.95. I love it at that price. It does exactly what I wanted it to do, which is provide Netflix/Prime/Hulu/YouTube/Pandora without having to turn on the bigger "smart" Blu Ray player or plug a computer into the TV. It's when we start talking about hundreds of dollars that I start asking myself, "Do I really need another device when I have a laptop, a desktop, a TV stick thingy, a smart Blu Ray player, a tablet, an Xbox, and a phone?"
