Nvidia Confirms Shield Pro-console with 500GB
An Nvidia employee has confirmed a Pro edition of Nvidia's streaming Shield Console, to be released in May close to Computex. The console will come with Android TV in the Pro as a normal version with Tegra X1-soc.
The Pro edition will get 500GB version has been confirmed by ManuelG, an Nvidia employee active here on our forums. It's also noted that the console will support Netflix, and if it can do Ultra HD that will come in handy for a lot of people. The regular Shield console will get 16GB of NAND capacity. The Pro version was rumored after it appeared and disappeared real fast on amazon.
You should not expect any further differences other than storage capacity in-between the regular and Pro model. As stated both streaming consoles will run Android TV and work with the GRID streaming service. These boxes will get a Tegra X1 soc with four Cortex A57 and four Cortex A53 cores. The embedded GPU is Maxwell based with two smm units and a total of 256 stream/cuda/shader processors.

I believe you can side load APK's on Android TV via ADB, so yes you can.

Yes you will. That is the whole reason I am interested in this. Currently I'm using an Ouya which is plenty powerful for video watching, but this looks better and is probably quieter too. I have no need for the 500GB version but it's nice they are releasing one.

I'm surprised to see Nvidia use Android TV and not just a normal release...
If Nvidia gets more titles ported over to ARM, that would be awesome. The one game I play all the time is TF2 so that would be amazing to get TF2 and Steamworks ported over!
