Given Amazon's track record, I was expecting this to be a lot more innovative. After seeing what the Amazon Fire had to offer, I really see no need to change from my Roku 3. :yeshrug:

Unless you need a streaming device or your current one is :flabbynsick: like my WDTV, it's not worth it.

:ohhh: xbots
does the xbo controller have an external mic on it? then you could just say voice commands, in a normal voice, to the controller when you aren't using a headset.

I already have the "popular services" via my Blu Ray player. I watch Youtube videos, Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime videos, etc. it's built right in. With the Blu Ray option you get 3-D(if your tv is compatible plus price of glasses), browser, can play Blu Ray discs..for even a little less than this box.

You can already stream games via the HDMI from Kindle to HDTV. I don't see a need for it, at this time. The cord was only $5.

I just can't do another box unless it's going to do something innovative. We already got multiple Rokus, a Google TV set top and Chromecast in the house.
Me too. Amazon is on some fukk shyt by not releasing an app for the Chromecast.
