The handheld console tablet streaming thingy!

http://shield.nvidia.com/

It's basically a miniature Android tablet with a controller attached to it in a clamshell layout. It also happens to be one of the most powerful handheld devices out right now, specifically designed for gaming. You can play it as a typical handheld device, or you can plug it into a TV and magically transform it into a console with its "Console Mode" feature (requires a separate Bluetooth controller). Many games support the Shield device, and the ones that don't can still be played with the controller via a controller mapping feature.

If you have a PC with a NVIDIA GeForce graphics card, you can stream supported PC games to the Shield. With the latest update there isn't a distance limit to this as long as both your PC and your device are connected to local wi-fi. In other words, you can stream from halfway across the globe.

You lost my interest. Then you got it back with the streaming thing. And only $200..

I own one. It works very well. I can't try the streaming, though, since I have an AMD graphics card.
