So I visited the front page of Amazon today, I noticed that there was a box link on the right side leading to this page:

I'm not sure if any other duders have noticed this before I did but I find this interesting that now they are already at their final stages and are prepping for a full launch.

it says it can play all genres, does that mean it will play AAA high graphic games?

i thought it would just play games that are on smartphones and tablets, which is what the price suggests

Can it play DVDs and stream from wi-fi?

Might be a Roku/Boxee competitor at $99.

AAA isn't a genre.

It's not so much 'haterz gonna hate', so much as it's just an impractical product with an unknown name.

Well "modern AAA" is not a genre to be fair. All genres are represented on smartphones and tablets in some form or another.

There are FF games that have been released on iOS and also on Android (not sure with Android) so it must be those versions.

Got to say it looks pretty slick in that picture, all black and glossy. This thing will probably do alright at that price.
