It will never happen, and learn to live with it. Amazon is similar to Ebay. They have always supported PP / Visa / Master. In an optimistic scenario, I could see Google and FB accepting BTC in the future. But definitely not Amazon.

i assure you that amazon has at least talked about the usage of btc. back to their box, i'll wait a few months and then maybe get one myself. i've got prime so why not.

Exactly. Anyway, it's even possible to play some games on this Fire Tv device. Looks interesting Title: Re: Amazon unveils Fire TV $99 set top box as rival to Google and Apple Post by: jollyriffic on April 03, 2014, 02:32:58 AM i just hope the menu system is quick.
i'm in the market for a internet tv box at the moment. right now i've got every channel my cable provider has, however i dont watch cable just the rest of the family does. mostly because i dont do commercials and waiting to watch a show. right now i use projectfreetv to watch my shows either after 12pm est or the following day. hell i even use that site to watch my hbo, stars, and other movie channels because their sites are too clunky and keep logging me out. xbox was nice for this stuff, however their fee per month just to use it as a media box greatly outweighed me on the Logical side of things. (i'm paying you to watch the showes i already pay for on my own internet i pay for) lol makes me sort of kick myself in the butt for not going with a ps3 back then.

But they shouldn't have made the gaming accessory separate from the main device.
