Coin Amazon presents its new currency

Amazon is the biggest online store in the world and undoubtedly has a big slice of the e-commerce market, so it makes sense that they have decided to launch its own currency, which is known simply as Coin. It is a virtual currency that consumers can use to buy apps and games on the line from one of the company's tablet, the Kindle Fire.

The Coin launch will occur in May and it seems to only be available for the United States. Amazon plans to launch an equivalent Coins $ 10 million to promote its new virtual currency. This does not mean that consumers will be forced to use it. Those who want to keep paying using traditional methods can do.

That being said, 1 Coin is worth about 1 cent on the dollar, so Amazon will have to make a strong campaign for the adoption of the new currency to be successful.

This confirms many rumors circulating since last year. According to the site EDGE, important sources have confirmed that the new Xbox will use an eight-core AMD processor at 1.6GHz, a graph will also incorporate D3D11.xa 800MHz and 8GB of RAM. Storage capacity is not yet released, but it seems that the games will be sold on Blu-ray 50GB. Also is also expected to go on sale a new and improved with future Kinect Xbox.

Anyway, I still need to mention the bad part of all this. According to the report, the console will need an Internet connection to work, so we could go and discarding used video games. The new games will have an activation code, thanks to which a copy of a video game can only be used by the initial users. If this proves to be true, you can no longer play games previously used on another console.

If Microsoft really tries to stop buying games resold, loyal players may begin to consider other consoles, such as the PS4, for example.

It is expected that the new Xbox is anuciada during the E3 show in June.
