    The Google Nexus Player functions like an updated version of GoogleTV - meaning it runs faster and smoother - but still lacks the variety and functionality of other streaming media players.

    Can't say enough of this device. Ready to go plug-and-play full of features. Enjoy everything off line tv can offer and more.

    The player itself is beautiful and well built. The interface is nice and has plenty of apps (missing a few but those are amazon's fault...). The remote is a bit cheap feeling, but it works. the cast feature usually works well, but occasionally drops out, a bit more often than my chromecast.

    Nexus Play is good, depending on your ecosystem.

    I bought this Nexus Play when it was on sale for $49.99 as we needed another streaming device. I think it's a solid device with good functionality though we are primarily an Apple family, therefore most of our media is on iOS/Mac. I do like the fact that Disney is OS-agnostic, so we were able to watch all of our Disney collection on this device.

    I purchased tihs to replace my Sony Google TV and I couldn't be happier! I have added a USB 4 port hub and now have a wired internet connection, 128 flash drive and wireless keyboard and mouse connected! The only thing that is disappointing is the lack of amazon support.

    I love the Nexus player except for one thing. For some reason, it tends to buffer often. I have great internet connection and other streaming devices and don't experience the same problem. On the other hand, I love the layout, Google search, and the ability to play games.

    Chose this as a perfect complement to my Panasonic plasma. This allows me to stream movies, music using YouTube , Netflix, Hulu, Plex and last but not the least : Kodi. AC radio allows for instant loading and the 1080p graphics are good. OTG support for USB drives. I have high hopes for Android TV. Thanks Best Buy for matching the price. One stop electronics shop for sure.
