I just got one, and yup. So far, it's excellent. I am excited for the future of TV now.
Current missing software issues for me are:
-multi-account support
-recent apps
Hardware-wise:
8gb is not enough storage for the nexus player, if you want to play games
-no ethernet port
-gamepad should have a mic input
-gamepad quality is far below xbox one. I haven't touched the ps4 controller, but I am sure it's below that too.
