There’s a new, very important baby in town. No, it’s not another royal baby. It’s better.
   
Meet the Amazon Fire TV Cube — or, as Mashable’s Ray Wong has assessed, the love child between the Amazon Fire 4K Streamer and the Echo. It finally made its debut on Amazon, and is  available for pre-order for $119.99

And, until June 8 at 11:59 pm EST, Prime members get an extra special $30 discount, making their pre-order just $89.99. The recently jacked-up $119/year Prime price is already paying for itself.
