I bought one off the Google site.

Does Best Buy have them in stock right now?

Also do you know if it will stream anything to ur TV, or just stuff from YouTube/NetFlix? For example, can you stream Hulu from ur Chrome browser?

I missed the boat on this one at the time of annoucement. Was so busy with work yesterday I didn't even hear about this piff until this morning :to:

Now its sold out on amazon and google. I'm going to try and swing by a bestbuy today to pick one up.

That $35 pricepoint and I just got rid of cable too :ohhh: I have a laptop with HDMI but i don't mind throwing down 35 to not deal with hooking up my laptop and configuration changes to get it to output to my TV.

RIP Apple tv, Google tv, and Roku

What exactly it do? Pretty much like Apple TV?
It streams supported applications like Netflix, hulu, from your tablet and computer while allowing you to run those apps in the background while you do other things with your device

However, where this thing is REALLY nice is the fact it lets you stream any video stream from Chrome. This means anything you stream on your pc in a web browser it would output to your tv. So..in my case, given I cut cable off, I have to go online for streams of boxing. Now, I can just stream straight from chrome to my tv.
