Is the 500 GB model Nvidia Shield TV still worth buying, or should I wait for Nvidia to release a new device?

There aren't signs of a new release on the horizon.

Honestly I'd buy a 2017 model 16gb, there aren't much reasons to buy the 500gb model anymore now that Plex metadata can get stored on an external drive.

Internal storage can be expanded on the 16 GB and an external hard drive can be used as removable storage. With a USB Hub, there is no limit on storage options. Since the only purpose for internal storage is OS and Apps, 500 seems unnecessary, except maybe for a hardcore gamer. Even then, it's expandable.

Nvidia Shield TV Pro is discontinued. Pick up a 16gb model.

I don't see a reason to go for the 500GB model when you can get the eMMC model cheaper and add a USB flash drive for more storage. I also don't see a reason to wait for a new model. There's nothing that the current model needs upgraded to be better than the competition.
