I personally like the roku box type setup to do my streaming, I use my Chromecast tons though for youtube vids casting my laptop and videos from my phone but for Netflix, hulu, hboGo I like roku
Plus there is going to be a strong chance we get xbmc on the Nexus streamer

That Nexus is waaaaaay too pricey. I was thinkin about it cause I've had a few Nexus' but the screen size turn me off a little bit. But now at that price fukk that, whats the benefit. I guess they had to price it like that to get the providers to sell it.

why get a set top box that can do games and all that shyt you won't ever use when their are cheaper ones who can do pandora and hbo go etc?
nexus 6 is so dope 
I have one that does that already the roku 3 cost me the same when it came out, I think this might have more features though
I don't care much for the gaming aspect but will cop the control to try out probably

i dont see what this can do that those cheap android media streamers cantand those cheap android boxes can do xbmc
I think most folks issue with the Nexus 6 price is that they're forgetting this is a true flagship phablet device.
The Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 did not set the standard at the time, they didn't have the best specs (N4 didn't have LTE, N5 skimped on camera and battery).
Everyonce is looking at the Nexus 6 price compared to the Nexus 4/5, and Moto X when they should be comparing it to the Note 4/I Phone 6+ which is like $100-$200 more expensive for similar specs and form factor

I can't give ya all that, the N4 came out when LTE was still relatively new. It was a sacrafice that had to be made for cost I suppose, and the N5 camera isn't bad at all. The Nexus line was always able to compete with flagships.
that price tho, ain't nobody trying to cop a nexus subsidised
fukk. i wanted to upgrade to the new nexus 6 so badly but that phone is just too fukking big. idk... i feel like im still gonna cop when it releases. hopefully google will announce a regular 5' max phone
Now hold on..usually when the Nexus comes out, it's the elite. It usually compares with any phone out and usually crushes the Iphone without even trying. I haven't looked hard at that review video up there and checked out that camera and what's cracking with the specs on all levels.
