Amazon Fire TV is a tiny box you connect to your HDTV. It's the easiest way to enjoy over 250,000 TV episodes and movies on Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, and HBO NOW, plus games, music, and more.With voice search, simply say the name of what you want to watch and start enjoying in seconds2 GB of me...
It depends on what you are looking to do.
Some people are happy getting an AppleTV.
For $30 you can get a Google Chromecast and stream all kinds of HD programming over the internet or locally via Plex.
Or you could get a Raspberry Pi and run one of the distros with XBMC. (A basic understanding of Linux will be very helpful here.)
You could also get an Intel NUC and build a mediacenter PC with that, but once you buy RAM and a hard drive for it, your cost could be close to $400.
You could get a Roku.
There is also the Amazon FireTV.
The last option I can think of is to buy a new Blu ray player. Many of them have a host of mediacenter features built in including Vudu, Youtube, Hulu+, and Netflix. Some even support Amazon Prime.
I have a ChromeCast and a Raspberry Pi running RaspBMC and they both work well for me. The only thing I can't watch with either one is Amazon Prime video.
