Included means FREE!

Hi Amazon,

I love everything you do. This gaming station is awesome.

My only complaint is you say 2 games are included. (Shovel Knight & Ducktales)
It took me awhile to track down a way to contact you and get someone on the phone to explain to me "sorry, but that these games aren't free. They are included for a price." I told her nicely that it was misleading and then was hung up on. Ha, what?

Seriously, these games aren't free?! Included with purchase means they don't cost money! Change your wording guys. You have a great product don't blow it by pissing people off.

Also, I really want those damn games for free now. Do the right thing.

- A True Masterpiece System -

March 17, 2017

I did read prior reviews that left me on the edge as whether to buy or not. After careful thought I made the decision to buy this. I can tell you that his system is one of the best. After having a Fire Stick, I can really see the difference in features and performance. The Fire TV box and controller is awesome. I didn't truly buy it to play games, since I have an XBOX1, but the ability to do that is a nice feature. This box is absolutely fast and delivers without question. The processor is lightning fast and the controller is effortlessly smooth. Some other reviews down played the controller, but mine works great and is exactly the same type as an XBOX 1 controller as far as handling and style. Amazon got it right with this newest version. Using the Qwerty board, in other add-on apps, with the controller is actually easier than the hand held remote. The addition of extra storage provided by the micro-SD card is very nice. The ability to transfer music, videos, and other movies to this card and then play on the Fire TV is priceless. Purchasing this box it did also come with 2 Free Add-on Games already installed. Most of the Games can be downloaded and most are free. I really enjoy this box. Oh yay, Alexia works well and responds fast to your questions and as advertised, can find music, TV shows, and movies just by asking. I highly recommend this product. The only thing that I would advise is after initial setup and your registration, immediately update the firmware. Go into Amazon system and push the update button. It only takes about 10 minutes, but the newest version OS 5.0.5 is award winning and resolves a lot of issues posted by others. Go get this system!! You won't regret it. I have added many apps for streaming and it delivers. I have the Major player App "K", like the bear, and it runs flawlessly on the ARM 64 bit download. All other Fire Sticks and prior Fire TV Box versions have to run on the 32 bit platform. A big enhancement in the technology world. One platform system for all your streaming needs. As indicated, the specs are great and the capability to either hard wire to your internet or connect via wireless is much better.

Hoping Amazon plans to restore hundreds of missing apps soon

October 8, 2015

I really wanted to love this device. However, as I write this, there are hundreds of apps/games in the Amazon App store that are showing as not compatible with the "Fire TV", but are compatible with the "Fire TV (Previous Generation)". I have called Amazon's Fire TV Support about this, and when I do the agents put me on hold, and then come back and tell me that Amazon is aware of this issue. I would love for Amazon to comment on this review and tell us that they are working on a fix for this. Here are some details of the data that I have gathered from the Amazon App store.

1) Doing a search for Apps & Games/Fire TV Apps (All Models), it currently comes back with:
Fire TV (3,823)
Fire TV (Previous Generation) (4,059)

2) Doing a search for Apps & Games/Fire TV Apps (All Models):Games, it currently comes back with:
Fire TV (1,030)
Fire TV (Previous Generation): (1,161)

A sampling of some games that I found in the App Store to be compatible with "Fire TV (Previous Generation)", but not with "Fire TV" are:
Grand Theft Auto (various versions), Asphalt 8, Modern Combat 4.

Since the new Fire TV has a more powerful processor than the "Previous Generation", this doesn't make sense to me. I preordered this device to supplement my Fire TV Stick to be able to play all those additional games (that the App Store had said, before this new version, had worked with the Fire TV). Does Amazon have to recertify each of the apps for the new version of the Fire TV, and that hasn't happened yet?

*** Update 10/11/2015:
1) The Grand Theft Auto (GTA) games are now showing in the App Store as compatible with the new Fire TV.
2) When I check the four counts again for Apps and for Games, there is a very small variation from before (less than 20 for each of the counts), and with "Fire TV (Previous Generation)" still far exceeding "Fire TV".

*** Update 10/29/2015:
More and more games are showing up under "Fire TV". I see that "Asphalt 8:Airborne" has become compatible since the last time I had checked. That's good. Perhaps it's the case that authors are needing to provide updates for their apps under the latest Fire TV platform. I am raising my rating.
