An AMAZON FIRE TV GAMING Edition Review Won't Answer These 19 Questions

CAN YOU BUY AN EXTRA CONTROLLER? ARE THERE TWO PERSON GAMES?

• There are a few games: - Beach Buggy Racing: a racing game kind of like Mario Kart but not as good. 4 Player max I believe. - Bomb Squad: a fun iteration of bomberman like game. I think you can have 8 players. - Riptide: another racing game, this one uses watercraft. Pretty fun, I think it is 4 players also. There is plenty of others but those 3 are my favorite.

• No there are no 2 person games...which is stupid. This was a half assed launch by amazon. The selection of gamesvis horrible. Really not worth it unless you have have money to blow. It's fun to play some some apps on the big screen, but very few apps available. Really stupid u cant access google play store. Amazon store blows!

• Yes, you can buy an extra controller. I really don't know if they have two person games, I haven't checked, or purchased any. They should have, just check for it.

• So far I have found multiplayer games but you take turns. When we use the game controller and the regular remote they both work but act as one player.


WILL THE AMAZON FIRE TV GAMING EDITION WORK ON A SMART TV?

• Yes. The Amazon Fire TV box connects to your TV via HDMI cable and to the internet via Ethernet cable or WiFi. You can continue to use either your smart TV or Amazon TV to watch shows or movies. The Amazon TV box does a better job of integrating Amazon shows, movies and music if you subscribe to Amazon prime. You will need to buy your own HDMI cable.

• It'll work with any HDTV with HDMI slot. It doesn't have to be smart TV as this device will turn "dumb" TV into smart TV.

• Yes it'll make the smart TV even smarter. :) In all seriousness, it may be smoother/faster, etc than the Smart TV features.

• Of course, I had it hooked up to mine (LG 4K) and it worked fine, as long as you have an open HDMI available

• I have a VIZIO smart TV and it works fine. It just plugs into a HDMI port and a household wall outlet.

• Yes it wil work with a smart tv you just need to hook up hdmi cable


DOES THE GAMING REMOTE HAVE VOICE SEARCH? THE DESCRIPTION SAYS YOU CAN BUT WHAT SOME REVIEWERS ARE CLAIMING THAT THEY CAN'T?

• Dear Jesse, If by the gaming remote you mean the game-controller, then it does have voice search as advertised. If you mean the regular handheld remote control, then you would have to purchase one separately because the gaming edition does not come with a handheld remote control. Only the game controller.

• Yes, you can hit the little microphone button and say things like "Find pictures of Ronald Reagan in a T-Rex costume" and it will do it.

• The voice search works on my daughter's Gaming Edition remote although you have to be in the search field for it to work.

• The gaming remote does have voice search, I've used it several times.

• It does have voice command and works great for me.

• That's right, the remote has no voice control

• Yes


WOULD THE AMAZON FIRE TV GAMING EDITION BE WORTH IT FOR ME TO BUY GAMES LIKE MINECRAFT, TERRARIA AND ASPHALT? OR WAIT UNTIL 3RD GEN? THANKS!

• Answer in short. Yes. Long Answer YESSS. This thing is awesome. Defintely worth it. You can easily sideload games using ADB. This allows you to push content that you are mentioning to this device free.

• It has decent games, but if that's the main reason you're buying it, I would wait. If you're interested in the other qualities, like the amazing picture, it's totally worth it!

• I think it's worth it to buy, it has all kinds of apps and games and not to mention movies.

• They updated the gaming control software and now its nice and stable Good choice

• With the price Amazon announced for Black Friday, seems like a deal to me.


DOES THE AMAZON FIRE TV GAMING EDITION COME WITH A REMOTE AND A GAME CONTROLLER?

• No it comes with the game controller only. Although my remote from the first gen Fire TV worked just fine the new Fire TV. And it is nice that Alexa voice control is also included.

• No. This edition come with controller only. However, you can also buy remote control as separate order.

• No remote the game controller is the remote but you can download an app that is a remote

• Nope. The gaming edition comes with a game controller only.

• Just game controller. I bought a seperate remote.

• The remote is built into the game controller.

• No, just the game controller.

• No

• No

• No


 DO YOU HAVE TO PAY A MONTHLY SERVICE?

• No monthly fee for the Amazon Fire streaming. If you have Amazon Prime, there is no additional fee to add for their streaming video or music. Many apps allow free steaming video. Some, like Netflix and Hulu have a monthly fee. There is no fee for using the Amazon Fire (like there is for TiVo for example).

• No monthly fee unless your subscribe to individual services such as Netflix, Hulu, etc. The Amazon content is Pay-per-View unless you are a Prine member - then you get access to Prime content (but not all content). Gaming is done the same.

• Nope. Love, love, love this product. My kids are enjoying it greatly.


WHERE DO I BUY ADDITIONAL GAMES FOR AMAZON FIRE TV GAMING EDITION?

• There are two ways you can get your games (apps); 1) you can download them directly through your Fire TV, & 2) they can be acquired through Amazon.com (reference: Fire TV Apps). Some games are free while others will have to be purchased (most are relatively inexpensive).

• http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=sv_mas_5?ie=UTF8&node=10208590011

• Download on the device from amazon and save to the mem. card/storage on the device.

• From the Amazon app store

• On Anazon.


DO I NEED TO HAVE FIRE TV TO USE THE AMAZON FIRE TV GAMING EDITION?

• The gaming edition IS fire tv. The fire tv is a brand consisting of this (the box), and the stick. Both do the same thing, but this version is the more powerful one. This one comes with the game controller which acts as both a game controller and remote control. I would suggest you also get the remote control (order separately) because the controller doesn't make for a very good remote.

• You don't need the actual television, but you need the fire tv "box" & controller. Everything you need comes with it.


RECEIVED THE AMAZON FIRE TV GAMING EDITION ON THE 5TH OF OCT., 1ST TIME I USED THE AMAZON FIRE TV GAMING EDITION EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I JUST TRIED AGAIN TODAY & THE REMOTE DOES NOT WORK & THE LIGHT DOES NOT STAY ON, ANY SUGGESTIONS?

• The first one I received had the same problem... 1. Hold down the 'Home' button until the light cycles. This should pair it. Or - 2. Unplug power for 15-20 seconds, then reconnect power. The reset should work. If it does not remedy the problem, then you may have to request a replacement unit like I did.

• My remote works very good. I have no problem with it. I love it. Thank you amazon,


ARE THERE GOOD CAR RACING GAMES? SUGGESTIONS? HOPING TO ENCOURAGE THE USE OF A STATIONARY BIKE.

• Actually the selection of driving games seems pretty slim. I couldn't find much, including ones that have been android staples for years. Not sure why I couldn't find Asphalt or any of the more established driving games. Riptide GP2 is a good one but it's on jet skis.

• No the games are pretty cheesey. The games available look like a 5 year old developed them. I've had the system now for a few weeks and never use it now.


HOW CAN THE AMAZON FIRE TV GAMING EDITION BE USED FOR MULTIPLE TV'S IN THE HOUSE ?

• Fire TV Gaming Edition there is no sense to connect to multiple TV. This kit is focused on the game. If you need to watch the video, it is cheaper to buy a few Fire TV Stick for several TV in your house.

• I make the kids sit next to each other on the couch and play together. So there is no need for it to work on multiple TV's.


HOW DO YOU CONNECT THE AMAZON FIRE TV GAMING EDITION TO A SOUND SYSTEM?

• The HDMI cable also carries the audio. The system supports the following audio formats: Dolby Audio, 5.1 surround sound, 2ch stereo, and HDMI audio pass through up to 7.1

• It connects via HDMI to your TV. You can route it through a stereo receiver or you can use your TV's audio output to connect it to a sound system.

• Hdmi cable from receiver.


CAN YOU CONNECT AN ECHO REMOTE TO THE NEW FIRE TV?

• Oh, I see. I don't have an amazon ECHO. Sorry. I have a device called ECHO for in home wifi extension, two different products confused me

• I am not sure what an echo remote is. If you tell me I will try to better answer your question

• I don't have an echo so I don't know.


CAN THE GAME CONTROLLER ALSO BE USED WITH THE AMAZON FIRE TV GAMING EDITION AND THE NEW 2015, $50 KINLDE FIRE?

• The new game controller works best with the kindle fire TV box ( new version) $100.00. There is too many complaints of the game controller not working with various kindle devices. This was the case with my kindle tablet.

• Keep in mind many games on Amazon are not compatible with the game controller.

• Nope...


DOSE THE AMAZON FIRE TV GAMING EDITION HAVE WWE NETWORK??

• I have not used it but if you go to look at the apps available for Fire TV you will see that it has a WWE Network app. There are 419 reviews of it.

• There is an app for that. I don't know the cost of the subscription. Look for the app in the Amazon app section in the shop by department.


 CAN I ACCESS MY AMAZON PRIME ACCOUNT THROUGH THE AMAZON FIRE TV GAMING EDITION?

• Yes, in fact your account is already registered on the device if you order it from amazon.com or of course http://smile.amazon.com
