NVidia's MicroConsole Brings Your PC Games to TV CES 2015

Nvidia's Forge TV brings one of the best tricks from last year's NVidia Shield series to your TV at a more affordable price - streaming and control of your game from your desktop PC / MAC to your living room.  But unlike the Shield which requires a GT6xx series graphics card on your PC/Mac, this one will support AMD as well.

(Of course it does the other usual Android gaming stuff as well.)

It'll run you $149.99 with the controller as pictured above, and comes out next quarter.
