AMAZON'S SET-TOP BOX COULD BE ANNOUNCED NEXT WEEK

Amazon is sending out invites for an event to take place in New York on April 2. According to The Verge, the invite says that it'll give an "update for our video business." It's very possible that whatever Amazon is set to announce next week could be the rumored set-top box with gaming functionality.

Last year, it was rumored that Amazon would develop a Android-powered gaming console for the living room. The latest rumors have it pegged as a set-top box along with a leak revealing a game controller that resembles the OnLive controller with media buttons. It also includes a GameCircle button that resembles Amazon's gaming achievement and cloud save service.

The Wall Street Journal reported today that Amazon is planning an ad-supported streaming service that will deliver TV and music-video programming for free.

It's unclear whether the set-top box is Amazon's gaming device. In any case, interested users should tune into next week's Amazon announcement.
