Amazon launches $120 Fire TV Cube that's an Echo, streaming box and universal remote all in one

Get ready to ditch your remote. Amazon on Thursday announced the Fire TV Cube, a hands-free streaming box that comes with Alexa built in and lets you control your TV. Unlike Amazon's other entertainment-focused offering, the Fire Stick, the Fire TV Cube is meant to be hub for not just playing Netflix and Hulu, but also turning on cable TV and smart home devices. The Fire TV Cube starts at $119.99 and is available for pre-order beginning on Thursday, before shipping on June 21. It's unclear if or when the device will be available globally, but Amazon is running a few different promotions alongside the Fire TV Cube's release.
