Those who have been following the news on Google TV probably know that SONY and Logitech will be officially unveiling their Google TV offerings later this month. We were not expecting any real news on the topic before then, but it looks like Google has jumped the gun a little by launching their official mini site for Google TV. The majority of the information presented is old news, but we now do have confirmation that Netflix will be supported along with Amazon video on demand, HBO Go, and CNBC. Engadget is also reporting that Google has been working very closely with Turner Broadcasting so that the websites for TNT, TBS, CNN, and a few other websites work smoothly in the Chrome browser.
So does Google TV look ready for prime time yet? If you ask us, we’d love to see Google and Hulu work something out before launch. Hulu announced that their Hulu Plus service would be coming to Android and we think the launch of Google TV would be a perfect time for that. What would it take for Google to convince you that Google TV is a must-have tech item for the holiday season?

I think you are definitely right Google TV will be a great casual gaming platform. Just think of Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja on the big screen
I just want it in the uk
Just add a hardware solution like hacked Wiimotes, or better yet (and even more far fetched) Sony Move or Kinect. And you got yourself a competitior. Wait better idea, make your phone work like a motion controller, and you are set no extra equipment needed. Life is Good BABY!
I have a feeling that Google TV will partially turn into a console for casual games. Nothing to compete with the ps3 or xbox, but I can see a bunch of family friendly and party focused multiplayer games being pretty popular on this. Especially if you can use your current phone as a controller.
I wish Google would come out with a videogame console to compete with the Xbox and Playstation. It would be interesting to see their take on a console. I wonder if it would run a more advanced Android? :/
