My pre-order, made in mid October, is still not shipping in Nov and all I got so far from Google is instructions telling me it will work better if I connect my ChromeCast Ultra via wired ethernet. (Which would be great, if I had the :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: hardware, Google!! grumble)

Supposedly I should get mine on the 20th or 21st, but hasn’t shipped yet. Kinda on the fence of canceling, seeing how it could still hiccup over Ethernet. Really promising, but still has some kinks to work out. Also nothing to get excited about in the library.

Did you get a code in the email? I downloaded the app, but can’t do anything with it because I don’t have the invitation code necessary.

Yes. Got an email the day after I got the shipping notification.

This is not a good sign of things to come:

Yikes! Yeah, I was poking around D2 though Chrome on my MBP (kit comes in tomorrow) and noticed a lot of stair-stepping on straight edges. Definitely not scaled down 4k… smh. I mean, I’m sure it will get there at some point, but what we get now is way far from what was promised.

TBH I should just return the box when it comes in tomorrow since PS4 Remote Play works fine for me and xCloud is looking good. I don’t see myself buying in on a new library of old games at full retail.

Yeah I cancelled mine. It’s pretty playable (Anthony let me play D2 on his Mac during yesterday’s TWiG) but I don’t see myself using it much. I already have way too many games I never get to play on my Xbox and GeForce Now.
