It appears the NVidia Shield Android TV is back in force.
I just purchased one from Amazon that includes the gaming controller, AND the Remote (look carefully at the 'options' when viewing on Amazon. I paid $175, but then got $25 credit when I mentioned the Black Friday pricing.
Current price is $199.99, but apparently they will be $150 for Black Friday and Cyber Sunday/Monday sales. Newegg, Fry's, and Gamestop are doing the same.
Lot's of customization you can do, including root, or replacing with a more Android experience.
