here it is finally the stadia is in
studio this has the potential to change
video games forever this is the founders
edition as you can tell fancy packaging
one place for all the ways that we play
what else does it say on it founders
Edition so this will include the
controller as well as the Google
chromecast ultra let's check out what's
inside the package that's the most
important component when it comes to the
founders edition it is of course this
controller you can probably tell it's
kind of inspired by other controllers
you've seen in the past mmm okay little
coffee there we'll
oh yeah dare I say a couple of analog
sticks over here we've also got ABXY
buttons over here fairly tactile now
there are some specific buttons in the
center for various features that are
gonna be available in stadia including
an assistant button right there you can
tell from the icon so all kinds of
special functionality that ties into
other Google services and makes the
whole thing more smart at least that's
the idea USB type-c connector over here
to charge this up big trigger buttons in
fact you're also going to be able to get
this controller in white founders
Edition 130 bucks includes the
chromecast ultra that's what enables you
to put these stadia games up on a
television not necessary though
important to note even the controller
not necessary to enjoy stadia you can
play straight on your smartphone
straight on your Android device pixel
device or otherwise and even iPhone and
a Chrome browser you're not tied down to
one particular interaction so this
controller here is called night blue
it's the limited edition with the
founders edition okay so there's the
premiere edition now which comes with
the white controller instead of this one
but then that's also going to ship with
the chromecast so this I mean it's a
perk for the founders obviously that
you've got a controller that is
indicative of the fact if you've got the
earliest version but there is a premiere
version you can order now which also
gives you the combination of products
that are inside of here you can also
just pick up the control
on its own for $69 it comes in three
colors clearly white just black and
wasabi does it feel like a xbox
controller which I'd say it's a little
lighter lighter maybe so also in the
package we have a fairly long USB type-c
cable to charge it up the promise of
creating one place for all the ways we
play is a long-held dream today we're
proud to see that dream become a reality
those stickers as well this is your
console look at this thing should I look
tiny
that's the chromecast ultra you see with
the magnetic connection there and that's
all you're gonna need to get it up on
your TV the hard core processing is
going on in the background well it's
going on on the servers Google's
handling it and they're handing it back
to you so this will hook up to any HDMI
monitor that you have it has its own
power brick it also includes a dedicated
Ethernet jack so if you want an even
more robust connection for your
chromecast ultra you can actually wire
it up of course you can also connect it
wirelessly Google actually sent along
with this a couple of other things some
Carius things over here so we have a
pixel three axl of course and you don't
have to use a pixel three axl you can
use whichever device you want with this
controller this set up and of course
stadia a type C cable a fairly robust
looking type-c cable again you could
probably use whichever is at your
disposal and then they also include it
this mount right here this allows you to
mount your smartphone and controller
together so let's give this a shot so
look at this okay so you mount it up
like that you still have access to your
headset jack as well as the stadia
button and there's also this cutout over
here for your type-c connector so you
can keep it charged then this portion on
the front is actually spring-loaded so
you can insert whichever phone you like
in there you mean it could be a pixel
three axl it could be the newer pixel it
could be an iPhone for that matter this
is the max yeah look at that there's a
gaming solution right there
this is an early unboxing video this is
the founders edition and it's all I can
post right now I have not tried stadia I
will put out a video with gameplay and
all the rest of
on Monday at the earliest at my earliest
ability at which point I'm actually
allowed to because this is as I
mentioned so early at this point it's
strictly an unboxing video to give you a
better idea of the hardware so
definitely stay tuned for the gameplay
