    I don't have a FireTV, so can't compare, but I don't find the Roku 3 to be slow at all. The interface is very user friendly, fast, and has all the channels I could want except for Disney Movies Anywhere. It's quite a bit faster than the Roku XD I had before, which wasn't even slow itself. I don't know why you even need a fast processor in a streaming box, it doesn't have to do that much. Maybe the Fire is faster in a benchmark, but in the real world there is no tangible benefit.
    That depends on your past experience, level of use, expectations, etc.

    Yes, the Roku 3 is considerably faster than any other Roku I've used, owned, or still own. I have a house full of Roku's, and I mean that pretty literally.

    However, I've also used dozens of different Blu-Ray 3D players / streamers between $100 and $600. Something like the Oppo 103 is MUCH snapper, responsive, and more professional than a Sony Quad Core 4K 3D Blu-Ray in the same price point. Even people that just come home can see the difference. People I've let borrow, really see the difference.

    Here's a perfect example. All the Vudu app's are pretty similar. You get the splash screen while it loads. You can gauge how fast something is by how fast the splash screen cranks through. Likewise while you're going through the menu's if you press the button and it instantly moves, verses takes some fractional time and you can sense the lag.

    Netflix is the same. You can gauge it from device to device. Though it's harder since they don't all have the same interface, unlike Vudu.

    When you can SEE the box thinking thats what we're talking about. Don't get me wrong. It's $99 box, not $500. I get it. Amazon though is loosing money, or at least breaking even at $99 with the level of performance difference in the box.

      As you say, gamers are pretty demanding on their hardware platforms. A night-light grade set-top box is not likely to cut the mustard with them, no matter how shiny the games are.

      Ya, I don't know. That's what WebTV was supposed to be. Ouya promised similar too.

        How to install the Google Play Store on the Amazon Fire TV
        http://www.firetvnews.com/how-to-ins...mazon-fire-tv/

        With the Play Store installed you should be able to add Vudu app from the Play Store.

          Kudo's to Amazon for doing it right. I will now consider all of their devices on my next purchases and that new fire phone looks very interesting. What I won't consider is Apple devices. They are too locked down, you either do itunes or you do nothing. Amazon is already on my Roku boxes......along with everybody else's storefronts...........itunes is no place.

            How are they doing it right? There's still no Vudu app.

            Amazon's Kindle/Fire devices are just as locked down as Apple's iPad/ATV devices.

              Agreed - I won't buy an Amazon FireTV for the same reason.

                I'm assuming the post just above mine is correct......

                "With the Play Store installed you should be able to add Vudu app from the Play Store."



                EDIT, just noticed the article having you root your phone to get the play store...............That kind of lets the air out of the bag

                  The entire Fire line up is just a blatant attempt to sell you more crap.

                    Yes, the Entire line of the Amazon Fire line is to get you to buy more and more stuff from Amazon.com - They want to rule the retail world. There drone's will rain down your purchases, after you have bought them.

                    They want people to be able to access there content, on the go, to at home on the big screen. Hence the tablet to Fire TV option.

                    If they are late with a VUDU app, so be it, It took awhile for VUDU to get on the WD Live, (it's what I use) Don't get mad.
