Amazon Lights Up Fire TV With 4K

September 16, 2015

Amazon also introduced the Amazon Fire TV Gaming Edition, a $139.99 option that bundles the new Amazon Fire TV box, a new game controller (featuring a headphone jack and voice search), a 32 GB microSD card, and two games: Shovel Knight and Disney’s Ducktales.

Amazon’s new Fire TV lineup comes the week after Apple introduced a new, more open Apple TV device that does not support 4K/UHD. Roku is rumored to be working on a 4K-capable version of its streaming platform. According to Parks Associates, Roku led the OTT streaming device sector with 34% of units sold in 2014, followed by the Google Chromecast (23%), Amazon Fire TV, and Apple TV.

Amazon is also launching the Fire TV Stick with Voice Remote, offering that duo for $49.99, with shipments slated to begin October 22. Amazon still sells the Fire TV Stick (without the voice remote) for $39.99.
