Hands-on with NVIDIA's project turned product, NVIDIA Shield
NVIDIA's Project Shield now has an official name (NVIDIA Shield), a release window ("by the end of June") and a price tag ($350). That's a full $100 step above the PlayStation Vita -- arguably the most competent competition for Shield's hardcore skewing demographic -- and even a smidgen over the cost of various full-on game consoles. Despite the high barrier to entry price-wise, NVIDIA tells us that Shield will follow the same annualized model that its mobile phone counterparts do: a new internal upgrade each year to keep up with the times. And we already know what that future looks like.
Given all that baggage, we can't help but approach our final hands-on ahead of Shield's late June launch with an eye toward worth of purchase. Is NVIDIA's Shield worth getting in on early?
