Amazon Launches the New Amazon Fire TV

You heard it right, the Amazon company we all know has released a new device which allows it's users to play games and stream movies and series, similar to that of Netflix and LoveFilm. They have dubbed their new device the "Amazon Fire TV" and it's just been made available in the USA, hopefully with a UK release soon.

The device can play games you would normally play on a tablet like an iPad. You can even purchase a controller which bears a very large resemblance to the Microsoft Xbox controller, it has been named the "Voila".

It seems Amazon wants a piece of the action when it comes to competitors like Apple and Google who also offer similar service through the Television, through the Apple TV and Google Chromecast respectively. This is also a great way for Amazon to enter the living-room of customers, a whole new market. We may well see many new electronic and digital hardware from Amazon in the future if the Amazon Fire TV catches on.
