However, that said, the Shield does also come with a $59 controller which the Fire TV doesn't have. Which I guess with that math would only make it 3X the price. Plus, the Shield is a much more of a powerful device.
I'm in UK and assumed it would be $200 = £200 and fire TV has been around 50 quid recently, which is where my maths came from.
Still don't think it's comparable for a kodi only box, it would be a waste for the shield.
Yes, the Fire TV may be 50 quid when on sale, but were talking normal USD rate. And doesn't $200 = ₤126 at the current exchange rate? Someone else has said that it only cost them ₤175, even after all the costs: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2030626
