It’s my birthday, and I want the upscaling, the single platform, the flexibility (sailing the high seas), but it’s soooo old. $200? IDK

    I strongly disagree. The AI upscaling is incredibly practical. I have a 4k TV, and most 1080p shows and movies look insanely sharp. It’s not a gimmick.

    This said, I don’t think anyone should buy these new right now. They need to release an update.

    Don’t go with Apple TV, just buy a fire stick for next to nothing and wait for the next shield. That, or buy used.

      It’s not a gimmick, however, not all videos would be better after the upscaling.

      720p blueray rips yes. 720p YouTube compressed to hell no.

      And regarding firestick, and on top of the performance gap, I don’t trust Amazon.
