Topic: Amazon unveils Fire TV $99 set top box as rival to Google and Apple (Read 379 times)
The resolution is quite good, at 1,080 p. But they shouldn't have made the gaming accessory separate from the main device.

i just hope the menu system is quick.
i'm in the market for a internet tv box at the moment.
right now i've got every channel my cable provider has, however i dont watch cable just the rest of the family does.
mostly because i dont do commercials and waiting to watch a show.
right now i use projectfreetv to watch my shows either after 12pm est or the following day.
hell i even use that site to watch my hbo, stars, and other movie channels because their sites are too clunky and keep logging me out.
xbox was nice for this stuff, however their fee per month just to use it as a media box greatly outweighed me on the Logical side of things. (i'm paying you to watch the showes i already pay for on my own internet i pay for) lol
makes me sort of kick myself in the butt for not going with a ps3 back then.

from a business standpoint you always want to stay on trending items.
i assure you that amazon has at least talked about the usage of btc.
back to their box, i'll wait a few months and then maybe get one myself. i've got prime so why not.

Exactly.
Anyway, it's even possible to play some games on this Fire Tv device. Looks interesting

It's a very good news and even better if Amazon start accepting Bitcoins as its competitors.
It will never happen, and learn to live with it. Amazon is similar to Ebay. They have always supported PP / Visa / Master. In an optimistic scenario, I could see Google and FB accepting BTC in the future. But definitely not Amazon.
and i am sure they will use Bitcoin it's only a matter a time.
