Wondering the difference in Nvidia Shields

by nathan637

Getting a shield. Looking on Amazon and just wondering the difference in the one with the remote with more buttons and the one with less buttons (stupid question I know lol). Which is better or are they the same?

Title of one with more buttons- NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Pro | 4K HDR Streaming Media Player, High Performance, Dolby Vision, 3GB RAM, 2x USB - $259.99

Less buttons- NVIDIA SHIELD TV | Streaming Media Player with Remote - $436

Edit - the second one is not the tube one it still looks like the pro, just had the different remote, wondering if it is the gaming edition and what the difference would be?

Wait, the Pro is cheaper than the non-pro? Get the Pro then, no questions asked. It's a better device in every way (storage, connectivity options, functionality) so if it's cheaper, there's no debate.

Guys, what a bullsh.t, noway nvidia shield pro is cheaper than shield tv... Just to clear this missunderstanding....if you wanna play games and get nuts all day long sure you go for shirld pro, but if you just wanna take advantage of iptv or live tv you just need shield tv, which works fluently well for me, love everything it does including the super remote and the shiled app which is quite perfect! Dont lose time and money on other android tv boxes out there, Nvidia Shield still rocks on!!!

What country are you in? Those prices are too expensive if that’s USD.

There's a few third part sellers selling the older version at twice the price of the newer one

Not sure where you're seeing these prices on amazon but the shield pro is 199.99 and the tube is 149.99. I'm seeing a non pro shield which I think is what's confusing everyone....that's showing at 249.99 and I believe that's the 2015 model which has the older controller and more onboard memory. Just go with the current gen pro model imo. The tube might fit your needs but it's 32bit architecture might limit you in other ways down the road.
