The Google Nexus Q social streaming player

article published on 27 June, 2012

During its I/O event this afternoon, Google unveiled its entry in the fight for the living room, showing off its mysterious orb, the Google Nexus Q. As Google describes it: "Nexus Q streams your favorite entertainment directly from the cloud to your living room.

This will be a good test of all the people who say they will pay extra for devices assembled in the US.

A lot of the expense is for the internal amplifier. I don't know if that's a big selling point for most people; it's not for me.

It's simply ridiculously overpriced. The outrageous price tag ($399) for the "bookshelf speakers" is just as offensive, and also doesn't include the 2 speaker cables ($49). You can buy a decent 200-300 watt 5.1 amp/sub/speaker system that will blows this 25-watt toy right out of the water for less!

Furthermore, does anyone NOT think that letting every one of a group of friends monkey about with the playlist is an excellent way to break up that group..?

I'm also less than thrilled by the dependence on the Play Store. Guess what, Google? I've acquired none of my content via your store!

Vizio's $99 version of this boondoggle suddenly looks far better.

@mscritsm: No, this is a good test of who isn't very wise with their purchases, no matter what country it's made in.

What pisses me off is that I already listen to google play (music) on my tv b/c my pc is hooked to my tv, but i have to control it with a mouse and keyboard (I actually have a small bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo), but i have to be in front of the tv to scroll through the playlist. It seems to me that it would be easy enough for them to add the control to the app that I already have on my phone and I wouldn't need to spend 299.
