Vizio has announced the release of its Co-Star Stream Player set-top box, which includes Google TV and the OnLive gaming service. The company known for affordable televisions first revealed the device at this year’s CES in January. While this is Vizio’s first foray into set-top box territory, it could also prove to be a reboot of sorts for the Google TV service, which was clearly not ready for prime time when it arrived for the 2010 holiday season. Logitech CEO Guerrino De Lunca reportedly described the Revue set-top box as a “mistake of implementation of gigantic nature.”
