You sure it's not just for firmware updates? The GameStick (http://gamestick.tv) is powered purely via HDMI.


The Gamestick is powered by MHL if you have it, but you have to power it through its micro-usb port if you have normal HDMI (source: have one). I expect it's the same for the Chromecast.


In the "What's in the box" they list a "USB power cable" and "power adapter".
