Wait, so can you play the PC games outside of your house, or does it only stream them over your wifi in your house? If you can play the PC games in a hotel room on the device installed, without having anything else, that is really cool.  Or do you have to have WIFI and a computer with you?  If that is the case why wouldn't you just play the games on the computer?

You can't play "your" PC games outside your house on the Shield. You can play PC games on the road using WiFi with OnLive or Gaikai when it finally launches... Nvidia is talking about having a feature in the future where their "Nvidia Grid" cloud service will process the games and let you play them anywhere there is wifi. But so far, no go...

BTW all those games I listed are Android native games. It has a full version of Max payne, GTAIII and Vice City, Conduit HD, Minecraft...and many more portable console worthy games.

As far as why you wouldn't play games on your computer when in your house...because computers are usually on desks with chairs, they are not on the couch, in the bedroom, in the garage...etc. Someone like me that sits at a computer desk 8 hours a day for work finds the idea of playing a PC game anywhere but a computer desk once I get home quite appealing. 


Ok sounds cool, I get what you are saying about after work also.  That's one of the major reasons I don't PC game all that much anymore.  If you could stream PC games on travel with no other things with you that would be the s***!
