After a lengthy introduction that showcased Amazons approach to searching, improving connection speeds for streaming devices, and the need to improve the ecosystem of the systems, Amazon has revealed its new gaming console and streaming device. The approach is to Invent and Simplify. One things for sure its a beauty. Named Amazon Fire TV, the box promises to be Amazons adventure into the ever-growing market of instant streaming devices. The best part by next month, thousands of games will be available to play. Many of these games are being internally developed by Amazon, so capturing the mobile market and casual gamers seems to be a driving force behind the system.

The best part its available today for just $99, and the controller is an additional $39.99.

The remote and box as Amazons Peter Limp mentions are only as tall as a piece of popcorn and a dime, respectively.

The system, while not designed solely for gaming, is meant for consumers who dont have consoles.

I do not think I'd pay 100 dollars for an Android screen on my monitor.

I like the idea, but right now I do see myself buying it.
