The rumor mill is blazing over the online retail giant’s upcoming set-top box, as leaked photos of a bluetooth gamepad have surfaced online, indicating the Amazon TV box will also serve as a gaming console. The discovery was made by Zatznotfunny during a quick peak at an overseas regulatory filing.
The wireless Bluetooth controller features a gaggle of controls, including both shoulder buttons and triggers, in addition to media playback transport controls. And we give Amazon credit for using Android-esque icons for home, menu, and back …
If real, chances have it Amazon will sell the controller separately as an accessory for the machine. Granted the device doesn’t feature the official Amazon logo, we could be looking at a possible prototype of the peripheral.
Reports have Amazon’s media box launching sometime this month.
