Not. Impressed.
The Roku stick at half the cost is a better fit if all you want is internet streaming.
For those interested in streaming and gaming, Xbox360 at $149-179 is a better fit than FireTV and controller at $140.

Either the price comes down or they add features, fast. At a minimum it needs DLNA support.

Edit: plenty of TVs and Bluray players beat the FireTV at streaming, for less:
