Such a poor launch. They needed to win over the faithful, they failed. I have a Ā£120 doorstop in my living room right now 
No code yet
Just got the code 45 mins ago. Added Samurai Shodown and Destiny 2 to my games. Quickly played Samurai Shodown on PC, boy that was hard 
Patience is the key to the code arrival and it does seem linked to the ādeliveryā of the Stadia hardwareā¦ I thought Iād been forgotten (ordered 7th June) but my hardware was delivered earlier today, followed by a confirmation email of delivery from the Google store - then the code was emailed and set-up completed with preferred Stadia name claimed; WallyWinner 
Got my code too. Claimed my name and the first two Pro games. Also bought Tomb Raider Definitive Edition for Ā£8 (half price until 03 Dec).

If I had a stable enough connection I think I would go for stadia, Iāve never really been into gaming but this seems like a good way to start
I got my code last night (around midnight) and gave it a little try before bed. It was a lot smoother than I was expecting it to be. I have a few niggles, like only being able to access the store through the app on my phone, and the prices seem a bit high. But as far as actually gaming on it, it seems pretty solid and Iām very happy with it.

I would think theyāll develop an interface to the store that you can access via your TV. Perhaps weāll see it over the coming months.

Can anyone with Stadia see the price of Football Manager 2020? Thatās the only game Iām really interested in on there initially (guessing I can play it full spec with lots of leagues added etc) but not sure if itās just worth waiting for Stadia Base next year as Iām only likely to play on my PC, not my TV.
Football Manager 2020 is Ā£39.99

Thanks - same price as Steam. May just wait for Stadia Base.

Im finding it plays well, but if the missus starts watching youtube or netflix it is causing stuttering effect on Stadia but not affecting inputs in any way.
QoS YouTube or give Chomecast Priority over network traffic

Received my code.

Sorry QoS?? Also how would i give chromecast priority?
'Qāuality 'oāf 'Sāervice
Generally, this is a networking term applied to setting up a router/switch for specific devices on a network to have preferential access to the available network traffic bandwidth going through said router/switch. Example: you set your router to prioritise certain devices (eg. Chromecast Ultra) over others (eg. Phillips Hue bridge) in your environment served by the router, aka āyour homeā
This is usually available in most routers, but not all. Unless you enter the dark world of router firmware modsā¦ 
What internet provider are you with?

Im with Sky and have the Sky Q hub, i have looked in the router settings and googled it and i believe QoS is not available on it. I have split the 2.4 and 5ghz bands so i can connect specifically to 5ghz. I played last night when all gone to bed and it worked flawlessly at max res, but the minute someone does literally internet related it starts affecting the stream.
Sky have the Q system pretty much locked down, with little or no QoS settings - for obvious reasons.
Do you have any Q-miniās? If so, they use the 5GHz band to stream from the main Q box. If you have one, or more, miniās playing live or recorded TV, the (5GHz) WiFi quality drops rapidly.
I have Q with two miniās and if both miniās are active and someone also streams YouTube/Netfilx to a phone/tablet, Iāve seen the odd stutter/lag with Stadia. So I connected the Chromecast Ultra to the Q hub using an ethernet cable and havenāt had a single issue since.
