Not ones to be left on the sidelines, Amazon, Best Buy, and eBay have put the Fire TV on sale for $84 to match Staples. However, Staples still edges out since they currently have a coupon code that knocks an additional $10 off, bring the price down to $74.

Are the ones being shipped from Amazon still rootable? I guess I should ask, any idea which are and which aren’t?
I get my amazon one in the mail tomorrow (Tuesday) and my staples one Wednesday so I will let you know.
That would be some really helpful info. Thanks!
I got mine from Amazon today in the mail. Guess what it has software 51.1.0.1 which is rootable. I already have it rooted, superuser, busybox and xbmc loaded. I am sure the staples one will be about the same
Thanks for the update!
I want to get another but this makes me wonder if there is a new product on the horizon and they are lowering the price to get rid of old stock.
I wouldn’t worry about that at all. The Fire TV has only been out for 5 months. I would be shocked if Amazon released a new Fire TV sooner than a year after the current one. An Amazon exec is quoted saying they expect this Fire TV to be in production for at least 2 years.
I’m actually hoping for a new version, with at least 16GB storage for all these games that I can’t install due to the limited 8GB storage (really 5GB+ usable).
