The product listing has been removed, but this isn’t the first time we’ve heard about a 500GB NVIDIA Shield console. In April the 500GB model was mentioned on the NVIDIA website, but the company later said that it had accidentally published information about a developer edition device and that there were no plans to offer the 500GB model as a consumer device.
But that doesn’t explain why a rather official looking image of a Shield Pro was posted to Amazon for a little while on May 16th before the product page was removed. It’s possible that the NVIDIA Shield Pro is a developer device… but it certainly looks like it’ll be available through regular retail channels at some point.
If the earlier leak is accurate, it’s likely that the Pro will sell for about $300, which is $100 more than the cost of the 16GB model.

500 GB is a lot of space for installing all those 1-2 GB games on the Google Play app store, and to use to emulate console games from other consoles on the Shield.
Its good that Nvidia is making Android game consoles with more space on them since not everyone wants to install a secondary MicroSD card to install Apps, and Games to SD, or root their device to install games on a USB flash drive, or hard drive.
