Hi,

I was just wondering if it would be worth it to pay the extra money for the 32GB version. 

Thanks

Since it has expandable storage probably not. If it's 20 bucks go for it, if it's 50 don't.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

The Shield has an extra storage slot, and I just put a 64gb microSD in there. Unless you are wanting the 32gb version for the LTE, I would recommend you just get the 16gb version.

Unless you really need LTE I would just get the 16gb version.

Don't you get a free SHIELD controller, SHIELD cover and 3 games if you get the 32gb version? Since the controller is like $60, you're paying like $40 for the extra space (not counting the price of the case and the games yet). I'm also thinking of which one to get and I feel that 32gb one is a little better.
