But...Why?

That video shows some pretend gamer sitting not 5 meters from his pc.
Its not like the psps or vita and PS3 where it makes sense if the family are using the TV, but a pc to handheld and such a tiny screen......I dont get humans anymore.

Hilarious.

Hey nvidia, stick to gpus yeah.

And its not like someone can do other stuff while your gaming on that thing, as the game gets fully loaded up on the pc, just sit the hell at your desk or by a friggin xbox360 controller.

Who's idea was this and why do we have to share our oxygen with them.

+1 love'd to play in bed. :banana:

Lol, well that didnt take long.

As for this thing, if nvidia want it to be successful in anyway then they need to add the option of just using the pc as a pure grunt and not have the game go full screen on both devices.
