    I am in process of setting up the old 360 to a mice computer monitor in the spare room
    would this be a useful addition to it or can I run internet TV through the 360 as it is with whatever XBMC is :D

    I have one of these from the US in our bedroom tv.

    I don't have Prime (which the Fire TV is really set up for) but I have Kodi loaded into it and we use it for Netflix also.

    Kodi was very easy to sideload and you can set it up with its icon on the home screen quite easily too.

    It's a significantly quicker performer than the ATV2 I have on my main tv.

    Would recommend.

    Have a chromecast, but kinda tempted to buy one of these and sell the chromecast to cover the cost. Is it worth it? Someone decide for me!:P

    Anyone know if we'll have to use Parcel Motel to get this, IICR Amazon only shipped the Fire TV to UK addresses when it was first launched.

    Or anyone reckon/know if the Fire Sticks will be OK to send to ROI?

    Also, I wonder will we have to sign up to Amazon Prime to get this at the discounted price, like they did with the Fire TV pre-orders last October?

    Thanks OP, wouldn't have known about this otherwise! :)

    Yeah, seeing this, and €7 prime?

    Not really as good as I thought it would be.

    €19 but nearly a month to deliver? :mad:

    Don't know about the €7 prime, already a prime customer for a few years now. It went up quite a lot this year and now costs €49.

    If you're a prime subscriber you get it for £19 and then the refund you another £12 after.

    Its £35 for us plebs.

    Yeah, I was on German site, same offer, just posted UK deal for language.
    Some people saying Student Prime (free for 6 months and can cancel next month etc..) works.

    The offer for Prime is for paying customers only. I am on Prime but don't pay, thus is €39 on the UK or German sites.

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

    Would this be worth getting at full price?
    How does it differ from a Chromecast?
    Are there better/cheaper devices out there, that do a similar job?
