Also able to stream PC Games.

It'll be a far more powerful machine than both the 3DS & The Vita. The Price is a bit steep though.

This deserves more attention.

Now able to stream PC Games away from the house so long as you have a good wireless connection & they're now having a beta for cloud based games like Onlive.

With some good marketing, I think systems like this could be a big part of the future in handhelds. I'd much rather be able to play PC Games than your usual 3DS/Vita 3rd Party Games.

Do you own one GB?

If so how does the pad stack up against, say, an official xbox or ps3 pad? How's the screen?

Wouldn't mind one, seems to be a bit of a luxury item though.

No, too expensive & it is a luxury item at the moment; I just really like what it has to offer & think it will prove revolutionary once it evolves.

This should answer your questions though:
