At the same time, it was very much limited to Youtube videos as far as I could tell with my Sony Google TV. The fact that they are able to expand the capabilities to things like Netflix, Google Music and having it work flawlessly (at least based on the demo), is impressive for such a little package. Especially with the beta feature of chromecasting from the browser, there's a lot more potential.
Just noticed that Google is bundling 3 months of Netflix with this thing. Smart marketing move on their part and Netflix.
