Yea like i said yesterday, 90% of the people complaining in this thread don't even have 1 orderedA lot of people are thinking this is some sort of planned rollout so the servers don't get overloaded on day one.
I kinda doubt that.
It's much more likely to be down to boring stuff like the capacity of their distribution centres, and the logistics of printing out thousands of individual address labels and sending out individual packages.
As someone who has backed (and received) many boardgame Kickstarter projects, I'm well aware that the process of 'sending physical shit out' can take a while, even after the stuff has arrived in your central distribution centre.
And no, "but they're Google" isn't a decent argument. Pushing physical shit around the world is way different to pushing digital bits around, and Google can't just magically make the roads wider and postmen faster.
Interestingly, those people who have pre-ordered seem pretty chill about all this. It's everyone else that's doing the ranting and raving, and y'all were never gonna be trying the service till Base comes out sometime next year!
Probably higher than that...Yea like i said yesterday, 90% of the people complaining in this thread don't even have 1 ordered
I didn't pre-order one and don't get all the hoopla either. They say it will still arrive at people's places withing two weeks of the release date. That's.......nothing.Yea like i said yesterday, 90% of the people complaining in this thread don't even have 1 ordered
Edit: oh nm you meant the delivery sorry, yea they think it fails because it has a 2 week window lolI didn't pre-order one and don't get all the hoopla either. They say it will still arrive at people's places withing two weeks of the release date. That's.......nothing.
Need the controller with the Chromecast on tv.I haven't been following too closely. Do we NEED one of these controllers, or can I use kbm or an xb1 controller?
You can use mouse kb and Xbox controller on pc but not on chromecastI haven't been following too closely. Do we NEED one of these controllers, or can I use kbm or an xb1 controller?

You need to pre-order yes, but the account creation will likely be initiated by email.I thought you had to buy a "founders edition" to be allowed to access the service at all before next year? Or did I get the wrong end of the stick?
Ugh. So if I want to sign up to the *paid* service using my computer and a xbox controller I can't? They force u to buy the dongle + their controller in 2019?the only way to get access to stadia in 2019 however is with the founders/premium edition, which requires you to buy the $130 bundle. There is no way to sign up for a (free) account in 2019. In early 2020 they will let people sign up for the free version and you can use it across multiple devices and stuff, just like the beta in jan let you play Assassins Creed Odyssey on a PC with a controller or kbm in 1080p.
Not sure how exactly the buddy passes that come with every founders edition works, that also gives you access to the pro edition but not sure when exactly that goes out and how you would play. That should also give you 3 months free of pro.
Chromecast Ultra by itself is almost worth the price.Wait... how can a preorder of a cloud service be late?
..wait.. why did people preorder a cloud service at all..?
That seems like a sure-fire way to piss off the people who are actually excited about this thing

So if your TV already has Chromecast Ultra integrated, you can't buy the gamepad alone? why? Baffling.
They want to control the numbers for early access. You can absolutely do that during the full launchSo if your TV already has Chromecast Ultra integrated, you can't buy the gamepad alone? why? Baffling.
It isn't Google first time to release physical products globally.And no, "but they're Google" isn't a decent argument. Pushing physical shit around the world is way different to pushing digital bits around, and Google can't just magically make the roads wider and postmen faster.
exactly, google has been in the hardware business for a while. shipped 4 generations of pixel phones, Google Home, Chromecast, etc. https://store.google.comIt isn't Google first time to release physical products globally.
Beta testing Founder Pre-order deliveries.
Either they are rushing this beta- preorder launch or Google at the last minute realized that ground logstitics actually exist.
It isn't Google first time to release physical products globally.
a lot of their stuff isn't available most of the times in specific countries, except Chromecasts :p
Here in Portugal their online store only has two items, a chromecast (non ultra) and google wifi. Never even had any Pixel phones for sale.
Pretty barren.
This made me laugh! Good one!
