Amazon Fire TV + XBMC = The complete Solution!

I just wanted to get this information out there really quick so here it is:

A lot of you have seen my Plex/PlayOn/Roku solution and some of you are running it right now.  We're all aware of the android XBMC devices like this one but, are also aware of the caveats of using one (slow, overheats, other random network weirdness, etc.).  In typical Amazon fashion they've come out with an awesome / earth shattering device for cheap!  Previously the best option was an apple TV I or II but, now that the Fire TV's are out we've got a much better option.  The cool part: You can use either the stick or the full size TV!  The stick is a dual core with a bit less RAM and no voice navigation but, it's only $39.  The full size is a Snapdragon Quad-core monster that will handle everything you can throw at it.  You can side load XBMC without voiding your warranty or rooting the device!  I'll be including the links to purchase any of these awesome devices and how to side load XBMC (courtesy of Lilliputing and others).
