Super freaking hyped for this. I have a 250 Mbps connection, and every year or two the speed seems to double. Google is just being smart and getting to the market early.

I haven't looked into all the details yet; do you need a Stadia controller or can you use your own? If you could use your own, the barrier of entry would be just the $10 then, right?

Also, is this expected to sell out? I'm trying to decide if I should pre-order or not. Hopefully the infrastructure is big enough at launch to handle the surge of players.

Once it launches for PC etc (early 2020) you can pretty much use any controller you want. There is no barrier of entry to use the "basic" 1080p60 service (also starts in early 2020). You can use that for any game you purchase on Stadia without any additional cost. With the $10 sub you can stream your purchased games in 4k60 and you seem to get some freebies, like Destiny 2 (with all add-ons).
