Nvidia today at GTC shared some exciting news for current Shield owners, as well as an enticing offer to try to attract new buyers.
Shield will see a temporary price drop down to $199 through to the end of April, reflecting a $50 price drop
Nvidia's also introduced a few new features to Shield that will be rolling out by early April as a part of the upgrade to Android KitKat 4.4.2. One big change is that now Shield owners will be able to GameStream from their Kepler GPUs not just from their home networks, but anywhere. The new version will allow gamers to use Wake on LAN and Remote Login to get their portable gaming going. Gamers can also stream from their notebooks as well, though the use case for this will be a bit more unique given that the host machine itself is portable.
