Vizio Co-Star vs Sony Google TV

[edgar]

We all know Google TV is not at its best right now, but us fans still keep our hopes up. Plus, it is much easier to go with Google TV when it is becoming so affordable. The newest Google TV offerings are from Vizio and Sony; they both have new set-top boxes for a relatively cheap price.

Sony's new Google TV goes for $200 while Vizio's Co-Star goes for $100. They seem to come with relatively similar specs, but the Vizio Co-Star has OnLive compatibility, which is a huge plus for gamers. And for half of the price, you can't go wrong.

It is amazing to see these come out so cheap. I wonder if the Co-Star will sell as much as the Revue when it dropped to $100. Maybe it was just the hype it got back then because it was a pretty major price-drop. Either way, what do you guys say? Do you have your mind set on one of these? And why?

Which one would you get?

I have always liked Sony products, so if money was no issue at all, I would get the Sony one. And I am getting the OUYA, so I don't need my Google TV to run OnLive. The Co-Star offers so much more bang for your buck though. It also seems like it would look nicer next to the tv. It is smaller and kinda cute. lol
