Despite my WiFi access point being fairly close to the GEM Box, the download speed of the updates was noticeably faster on the wired connection, and I kept the Ethernet connection as the preference when playing the streamed and downloaded games which came from GameFly Streaming and Gameloft respectively. To be fair the experience and menu system seemed pretty much the same each time it rebooted.ĭuring this process it did become clear that the Ethernet connection was the best way to go. I couldn’t see any noticeable difference either. Whilst this is good to see, and I welcomed online updates popping up immediately, it was ever-so-slightly annoying to have it update, reboot, update again, reboot, update again, optimize apps, reboot, update, reboot… Sure, I connected onto the internet fairly easily and yes, Android is neatly hidden underneath a GUI which matches the controller well, but it went through about 6 updates in the first 30-40 minutes.
Out of the box and things can be a little frustrating.

Connecting the controller to the box itself is easy enough, and one of the first screens you see will explain how to do this – it basically involves you pressing the home button for 5 seconds to complete the sync.
You’ll need to charge this, and we got going pretty quickly by using a portable charger to power it up. In the box, a HDMI lead, charger and the controller itself. During my testing we’ve taken it to friends and relatives houses easily.
It’s portable too, and you can take it with you on holiday or to a hotel very easily. It’s a diddy little thing, and as you can tell by the size of the plugs in the back here, it really doesn’t take a great deal of room on your TV cabinet or kitchen worktop.
