I really like the Amazon Fire TV. I haven't used other streaming products besides my Xbox and TV to compare. I have Prime so for me this product is really convenient. I mainly use Prime and Netflix for most of my television watching. It is an amazing product I would recommend to anyone with Amazon Prime or who is thinking of using the service.
I do have a couple complaints however. The biggest one is the Bluetooth that connects the game controller to the Fire TV. It has very little range compared to the remote. I was really disappointed in this. With the Fire Stick and remote I could use it with no issues from double the distance that I can the game controller. Besides the range the connectivity seems to be a little spotty. Other than these things, I am extremely happy with this purchase.

If you're looking to cut the cord, you can non go wrong with the Amazon Fire TV. I use this for all of my streaming needs. My kids love it for the gaming section, but I just love the ease of having all of my streaming services in one location.

Five stars for the Fire TV and the bundle, but I dock two stars because of the gaming controller.
I'm not sure if it's the Bluetooth losing connectivity, but pressing buttons doesn't always work or is delayed, and button presses seems to get stuck at times. I do not recommend the controller, but I do highly recommend the Fire TV itself.
Now in regards to the Fire TV, you can sideload Android apps onto it. The second generation Fire TV is noticeably faster, and it now comes with a Micro SD slot. You are able to save apps to the SD card. I like that you can download a remote on the Android/Amazon market on your phone to control the Fire TV. Also, there are mouse and keyboard apps.

Great system. I don't love Amazon's interface but the FireTV really does outperform AppleTV. I have an Apple TV, an original FireTV, a FIreTV stick, and now the FireTV gaming edition. The gaming edition is hands down the fastest system by a long shot. The AppleTV might have a little better games (my opinion) but I have to say that the performance with Amazon is much better. Some people who like Apple will stay with Apple but not because of the device performance. Great system, great price.

Amazon has done a great job in the streaming area of business. I upgraded from a Fire Stick to the Fire TV. The fire stick was awesome and very easy to use. The Fire TV however is much faster at browsing through the show options and loading times. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a digital tv show/movie streamer that has Amazon Prime.

Had some lag when playing modern combat but everything else worked well and streaming and response time was good besides that game. I do suggest the nvidia shield over this however - it's just so much faster.

If you think you will have the gaming experience of an Xbox, Play Station, or Nintendo think again. The two included games might be fine for a young child but I wouldn't count on an adult having fun. The streaming works well, however, you must use the Game Controller which is awkward at best. Buy only for the enjoyment of young children.

The Fire TV works pretty good. I have some buffering occasionally with Netflix which runs better on my other devices but the 4k works well on Amazon Video. Some of the games are good but Amazon needs more for the Fire TV. Also, no VUDU app so I still have to use other devices to stream my UV collection.

I had heard of the fire TV and I finally bought the Fire Stick then the Fire TV Gaming Edition. I have been thoroughly pleased with it so much so I'm buy another for my office. I can't imagine why anyone would continue to pay for cable.

I had been using my older model Samsung Smart TV to Watch Netflix but it was very slow. With the Fire TV the response is very fast and I can view my Prime Content and my grand children play games. I love this product more then I expected
