So amazon has dropped the price on the Nexus Player, pretty much making it the defacto choice when it comes to a box for cable cutters. Less cost than the Fire TV, but way more powerful than the stick. Seems like a no brainer. Also, you can install Kodi natively without the need of a sideload. TVMC still needs to be sideloaded. Amazon's app store is missing tons of streaming apps.
