I already have Chromecast Ultra, a Google account, a fast connection, a Pixel book, a large TV and several controllers.
Is there no way to simply sign up online, pay the monthly fee and use the service?
@kcrane right now if you're looking to buy in, you have to purchase the premier edition with the hardware in order to get a code to open an account. For you, what would be ideal would be if you know someone who was a founder. Founder's all got 2 buddy passes. So if you know someone who was a founder and still has a buddy pass they can give you, that's the best option for you. Otherwise you'll have to wait until the full launch of Stadia happens in a few months.
I sent it, let me know when you receive it.
