 Hey guys, this is Brian with The Verge. I'm here at an event at GDC 2013 for the GameStick. It's a $79 Android portable gaming console that plugs into the back of your TV as an integrated controller. We're taking a look here at the UI. It's very minimalist and clean laid out. Right here featured is the GameStick Store. PlayNow here, this is the games that are actually downloaded onto your GameStick yourself so you can play. It has 8 gigs of flash storage built in. And also if you go over here, it also features media settings. It has Netflix, it has XBMC. So you can look at some video stuff as well. It's pretty cool. There's two different controllers they had here tonight. They had the dev unit which is going to be going out to developers this week. And also an aesthetic prototype with the final design that's going to be shipping out to Kickstarter backers next month. That one's the white version. So let's jump into a game here. This is a game that was actually ported over to the GameStick. The company's basically trying to go and bring a lot of developers on board. They hope to have about 20 to 30 games ready for the device when it ships to the Kickstarter backers next month. Right now we unfortunately weren't able to go and use the dev controller. It's not actually working with the GameStick I set up today. So we're using a Nyka wired controller today. The real deal we use Bluetooth to interact with the GameStick itself. And of course the controller has a slot that features, allows the GameStick a slot inside of it when you're good to go. So we're going to get some tutorials here so I don't go and do too terribly here. I'm jumping across the building here. It's actually a pretty nice experience here. I don't know if you're familiar with the game or not but it's fun. There's something that's very, very definitely fun about some of these portal Android consoles similar to the Yuya. There's a retro feel to them that makes them really, really fun as their kind of own sub-genre of console. And there I'm dying. That was ugly. We can go again. This device actually undercuts the Yuya about a $79 price point. It's not clear when it's going to be shipping out to consumers for the full version yet. But it's something we'll be keeping an eye on. This is the Play Jam GameStick.
