Oh I wasn't aware they went up to $49.99, I remembered them being $30-40, maybe it was a sale or older model.

Strange about the Atmos though, I could swear my 4k Chromecast does support Dolby Atmos.

Also for a streaming box, what is the point of increasing the storage?

This "upgrade" just seems so useless.

Iirc, the Google TV has installable apps to include games. I have a Chromecast ultra that is streaming only, no remote, 4k, and Ethernet. In my opinion it's where they peaked. But subsequent versions had the built in interface for remote control and apps.

The 1080p Chromecast is about $30.
