4.0 out of 5 starsIncluded means FREE!
By Erick PrimeTime on November 10, 2016

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars- A True Masterpiece System -
By brian rippy on March 17, 2017
Verified Purchase
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.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsHoping Amazon plans to restore hundreds of missing apps soon
By seattlemark on 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.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsFire TV is great, contoller is a rip off
By C. Gonzalez on March 1, 2017
Verified Purchase
Well, the Fire TV box is great. The controller is a piece of garbage. Very happy with the box. It works with all the services I use, and has a great picture. Very easy to use, no buffering, the Fire TV is a great piece of tech. If you want to 'cut the cord' this is the best device I've found. The controller is pretty useless for most things, and horrible for gaming. It disconnects from the box frequently, resulting in crashes and dead players. Even simple games like Crossy Road are UNPLAYABLE. I really wish I had gotten the Fire TV with the regular remote. The problems with the controller are well documented, clearly Amazon has a real problem listening to its customers. C. Gonzalez

3.0 out of 5 starsNot Sure its Worth it for the Game Controller....
By Anthony on January 20, 2016
Verified Purchase
So, I ordered this for our boys to play games and watch their Amazon content, because we loved our Fire TV and our Fire Stick so much (yes, this is the 3rd one we now own). The problems started early, as we had to go through 2 units before we got one that worked (somewhat). For whatever reason this unit doesn't work as smoothly as our Fire TV with the normal remote, so I can only attribute the remote performance to the game controller. It doesn't always respond to controls, and its a bit frustrating at times. When it works, its fun and the free games, apps, and all the other content make you want it to work, but the game controller performance has a lot to be desired. For $139 I would say the game controller isn't worth it. I would get the $99 version and use the remote if the main reason you are getting it is more for the other content and the gaming is just a nice to have. I just don't see the value in the extra $40 (or 40% markup) for a controller when its spotty performance at best. It is really too bad, because we love our Fire TV and spend more time on it than our Xfinity. Hoping that they come out with a replacement game controller and discount the price a bit, so you don't get that slightly burned feeling for paying what we paid for the unit.
