But as spotted by <em>9to5Google<\/em>, the company has now made the pair a permanent bundle that it\u2019s calling the \u201cplay and watch\u201d package. <\/p>\n<p id=\"xvIth5\">For $99.99, you get both the controller and streaming dongle. That\u2019s a savings of $19 compared to buying both products separately. Google is also promoting the Chromecast ethernet adapter as a recommended accessory; if you want the absolute best Stadia experience, it\u2019s probably a smart buy \u2014 and it\u2019s a mere $9.99 ($10 off) when purchased alongside the bundle. <\/p>\n<p id=\"l7PknS\">In an effort to clear out inventory of the old, puck-shaped Chromecast Ultra, Google is discounting its Stadia Premiere Edition bundle yet again to $79.99. I\u2019d definitely recommend the newer Chromecast with Google TV over the older one. The streaming experience is much richer and more comprehensive on the newer device. But if you\u2019re strictly using it as a gateway to Stadia, the $79.99 deal might be worth hopping on. <\/p>\n<p id=\"XEiWcO\">Remember that Google\u2019s game streaming service now supports select Android TV products as well. So if you\u2019ve got a TV running that software, all you really need to get going is Google\u2019s controller or a compatible third-party Bluetooth gamepad. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google has recently been selling a combo-package of the Stadia Controller and 2020 Chromecast&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1559,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[79,78,77,81,80],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1558"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1558"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1558\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2060,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1558\/revisions\/2060"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1558"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1558"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
