I guess I am the only who is not particularly excited about this. Other than the price it is a "me too" response to AppleTV. One of the most annoying thing about these devices is that because the lack of storage, they need to be streaming all the time (which is a problem with connections with a cap like in Canada) which is very inconvenient if you want to buy movies on iTunes/Google Play. AppleTV enables game devs to use the TV as a separate common screen for multi users games but that feature seems to be missing with the Chromecast (or at least I couldn't find any reference to it) So as an AppleTV owner I just can't help but to think this as a "meh"

At my house we have a full Windows 7 PC or laptop attached to every TV and a wireless combo keyboard/trackpad. It's been that way for over 5 years and there's nothing we can't do with them. We didn't spend much to do this either - these are all old or leftover computers except for the one in my wife's room because she wanted a quad-digital-tuner Windows media center (so I built her a tiny shuttle box with a Ceton tuner).

Going by the hits on Amazon I'm seeing I think Roku beats AppleTV easily.
