Chromecast - Shebang - 06-29-2014
Unfortunately uploading this directly from my phone flipped the album order somehow, but I just got my Google Chromecast ($39 + tax from Best Buy) and unboxed it quickly!

Anyone else here own one? How do you like it so far?

I've considered getting one. How is it?

So far, it's really nice. I've been using it in combination with Popcorn Time to stream movies as they're torrenting (watching Ocean's 11 for the umpteenth time), and its really smooth playback. The apps that Chromecast supports (YouTube, Nextflix have CC-friendly versions) are even better.

Ive heard good reviews about it. I have no need for one though.

Also later this summer chromecast will get a big ass update including screen casting capabilities.

My dad uses it and he loves it. Every time we invite company over, he can't help but use or brag about it at least once before they leave.

I'm so glad I managed to fit buying this thing in to my schedule (nearly late for work). Best $44 (after tax) I've spent.

Can. It's not really cheaper than going to a store though.

I have one and luv it. It was kinda of annoying when I couldn't watch local mkvs on it but a chrome extension fixed that a few months ago.
