No mate I have little interest,my ipad and nexus 7 does me fine for android type games,by all accounts they have not had the greatest reception and all it is is Android games on a television .

Yup GAME has them at £99 for pre-order on their site. AMAZON is also meant to be a UK partner but there is nothing there yet. I assume they want to get their Xbox and PS4 push going first.

I spoke to the area manager at GAME today and he said the controller was huge and heavy and it had all the phone type games.

I have a nexus 7 and Galaxy nexus and so covered for android.

just waiting on Steam to get more games native to Linux now. Portal though in beta is fantastic and I am going through it again for the hell of it.

What the old game Portal ...You that desperate

There is also the Gamestick (which is British). Applied for the SDK, and despite supposedly answering in 48 hours, I haven't heard anything (yet).

Tegra 3 based tablet with hdmi output can pair controllers with it so don't see point.

add the extra VAT and you get £80 as the US will add sales tax by state and allow another £20 for a 1 year warranty over 90 days in the USA and there you have the extra pricing.

I think is still poor but you can see where it comes from when you factor local differences in.

It will convert and be the same when The Xbox ONE ships and The Playstation 4 in the UK we will get short changed and ripped as per usual in the Uk Market.

Always the higher price over here because of the taxes in this once great country which is sadly in decline.

I really don't understand why anyones actually interested in this Android device anyway,playing games you play on your Ipad on a bigger Television with some God Ugly Controller.

I don't see the point to be honest - its the same specs as last years HTC One X / Nexus 4. Most games will be written with a priority on touch screen anyway. Back when it was originally announced the specs were decent - these days they just seem a bit meh.

Still haven't heard from them. It should be noted that the website doesn't have any contact details, so I'm not sure how "legit" the "company" is...

We've had VAT for ages.

By the time you add in the extra warranty that we get, VAT and the costs of having to do currency conversion (and hedge risk on that) it's never more than a couple of percent either way. Often our games are way cheaper than the US.

Are games are not cheaper than the USA so i don't know where you got that information.

Most of our games come out at £39.99 inc vat. In the US, they are usually $59.99.

Take VAT into account and were paying around $50 - some $10 cheaper...

$60 equates to £38.50 pounds so again I'm not catching your drift.

Take VAT into account

If you don't, are you going to take US sales tax into account too?
