Google Android TV console will support Games, Apps, movies and music!

Google’s new vision for Android TV is less ambitious and easier to understand. The company is calling for developers to build extremely simple TV apps for an extremely simple set-top-box interface. While Android still lives under the hood, the interface will consist of a set of scrolling "cards" that represent movies, shows, apps, and games sitting on a shelf. You use a remote control with a four-way directional pad to scroll left and right through different suggestions, or up and down through different categories of content, each with their own shelves. Much like on other set top boxes, each item will be like a miniature movie poster or book cover, and you’ll pick the one you want. The controller will also have Enter, Home, and Back buttons to help get around, and there will be "optional" game controllers.

Google Android TV looks like a good gaming platform. I like that it already supports games like Asphalt 8,  Plants vs Zombies 2, Temple Run, and Where's My water which are some of the best Android games which are out.

Hopefully, Android TV will be affordable like Fire TV which cost $99, and $40 for controllers.

I hope there are Open Source and modified versions of Android TV like Cyanogenmod, so I can install it on a PC, Settop Box, Smartphone, and Tablet which I already own, so I don't need to buy another device.

This does sound pretty good not sure if it's something I can use though.
