My first order just shipped and it was estimated for Nov 26, I think the December ones will ship early as well.

Damn I just got mine, it's quick and the build quality and packaging are amazing, but I can't login to my account to complete the setup. It seems there is a software update that is not getting installed.
EDIT: I was able to fix it. It's basically timing out when it looks for an update (you need to update to be able to complete the initial setup or else you can't login to your Amazon account). What you have to do is connect to your wifi network and then when the update part times out and has you try to sign into your amazon account hit the "back" button to go back to the wifi selector then hit the Forward button to select your default wifi address. Do that multiple times until it finds the Software update and you see the progress bar moving. It took me about 7 tries.

I'm worried that updating mine will make it harder to root, not sure how I feel about a mandatory update before I can even log into it. Might leave it in the box for a bit until the folks at XDA have more time to look into it.
Man I'm bummed. My order is officially two days late and hasn't been scanned since it was picked up. Amazon assures me it will come tomorrow (Saturday... nope) and won't do anything about it.
Anyone try out plex on this yet?
There was probably shipping delays with the east coast getting hammered by snow. Plex works great, it's fast and you can turn up the streaming quality to maximum for crazy quality.
I'm using Twitch on the FireTV (not the Fire Stick) There are no settings in the app to select higher quality streams.
BestBuy has the Fire TV Stick for $24.99 now.
I don't like that I have to pay for a Plex app when they advertise it as a feature and I am a Plex pass lifetime subscriber. I'm wondering how many other features they list that are app purchases.
