By Talk about the Amazon Fire TV at AndroidForums.com!
In case you’ve been living under a rock this morning, Amazon has announced their Fire TV unit, a set-top box that gives you access to video, music, apps and games, all from a box that could fit in any decent-sized pockets. You can read more of the juicy details right here, if you want.
If you’ve taken all of that in and decided you want one, you won’t have to wait — it’s available to buy right now! All you’ll need is $99 plus taxes to get your hands on one of the most powerful multimedia set-top boxes out there.
And while you’ll still be able to play games with the included Fire Remote, you’ll probably want the added gaming controller for $40 if you’re a gamer (forthcoming titles like Minecraft and Asphalt 8 could sure benefit from them). Head over there right now if you’re interested.
If the system only works to stream paid content, shouldn’t the box itself be free?
Is Roku free? I understand where you are coming from, but basically all streaming devices cost something. Maybe discounting it for new Amazon Prime customers could be feasible, but I don’t see free happening.
It seems like you didn’t even read about the product, it will play ALL of your local media with Plex and various other player apps.
So does this have Google play store?
