Amazon Fire TV, Could Eventually Be Interesting

Recently Amazon (AMZN) announced and releases their long rumored set-top box for $99 USD.  Currently, it seems a little expensive to me ($99 for the set-top box and the controller - maybe).  My TV is already running short of HDMI ports too.  I don't really need a set-top box (have Smart TV, "Smart" Blu-Ray Player and Xbox One)


This set top box has the ability to play some games (probably Android related).  I have no real interest in the Android ecosystem (especially phones/tablets - I prefer Windows RT/8) so this could be an interesting way to get some of the titles I've been missing out on (without a lot of the crap in the Google Play store). If this could get a lot more "retro" titles (and turn-based RPGs), I would be more interested (plus AMZN has been building a sort of gaming group there, which could be interesting - they did just buy Double Helix).
