Reports suggest Amazon's games console will be a dongle

The rumoured video games console from Amazon will come in the form of a dongle, according to reports.

Multiple sources have told TechCrunch that the dongle-shaped device will support Amazon's on-demand video services and allow people to stream PC games.

The streaming service has been compared to OnLive, where you can play top-tier games at 30 frames per second.

There's a chance you could also have access to the best games if you're a member of Amazon Prime.

A report from the Wall Street Journal also claims that the device could begin shipping as early as April.

Amazon is yet to make any comments regarding the dongle.
