Instead you just need to buy one or more <a href=\"http:\/\/greenthrottle.com\/\" >Green Throttle Atlas controllers<\/a>, download the free Green Throttle Arena app from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Green-Throttle-Kindle-Tablet-Edition\/dp\/B00BFLRKCO\/ref=sr_1_1?s=mobile-apps&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1362484954&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=green+throttle\" >Amazon Appstore<\/a>, and hook up your Android tablet to a TV using a micro HDMI cable.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment the system only works with Amazon\u2019s Kindle Fire HD, but support for additional devices is coming, and not just tablets. One of the next devices to be supported will be the Samsung Galaxy S III. Provided your device is capable of displaying 1080p at 60fps, it should, in time, be compatible with Green Throttle.<\/p>\n<p>The controllers connect to your tablet via Bluetooth, and cost $39.95 each, or $89.99 for a two player bundle which also includes a micro HDMI-to-HDMI cable and a micro USB charger. The setup supports up to four controllers, so you can enjoy multi-player games with friends.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-134136\" title=\"Green throttle page\" src=\"http:\/\/betanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Green-throttle-page-300x182.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"182\" \/>At the moment there aren\u2019t many games available for Green Throttle, but the ones currently on offer are free, and of course there are more in development.<\/p>\n<p>Does Green Throttle sound like something of interest, or are you more excited by the likes of OUYA, or Microsoft and Sony\u2019s new consoles?
