Looks like Amazon's set-top-box will do more than stream Amazon Prime and Netflix.

Just give me a device that can stream games from a PC running Steam's Big Picture Mode that supports USB input devices! I don't even like Steam, but this is what I would want hooked up to my TVs.

Another Android device that'll probably be a complete flop for gamers, just like the Ouya. I love Amazon Instant Video, but I can already use it on a number of other set-top boxes I own including my Sony Blu-Ray player, my Roku 1, my Xbox 360, and soon my Xbox One. If this thing was actually going to have hardware that could at least compete with the Wii U and some developers making AAA exclusives for it I would probably get it.

Sweet! I'd love to be able to get rid of my HTPC and have a set top box using 1/3 the power. Right now, I'm using an AMD A4 to watch Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. Games might be a nice addition, but not necessary.

How is this different from having any gaming machine plugged into your tv except that it is worse?

Not ready to surrender the control of the living room to online motion picture options, I believe same as amazon, Dish Network and Comcast are advancing, organizing an engagement of the set-top boxes unlike any recent in years.
