Re: Any thoughts on Amazon's Fire TV?

My first thoughts - my PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and both my Blu-ray players can do most of this already.

As for the voice search, the new Xbox One does this also.

Doesn't seem to be anything here that hasn't been done before already.

Subject: [PCTECH] Any thoughts on Amazon's Fire TV?

So Amazon released their set top box today.

Any thoughts on it?

I don't even use my Chromecast very much ... so I doubt the amazon device will be of any particular interest. My smart TV seems to have most of the functionality (except games, which I don't play anyways on media boxes).
