Amazon will offer 500,000 Amazon Coins ($5,000 value) for each of your qualifying paid apps or apps with in-app purchasing that are compatible with Amazon Fire TV and one of its hardware controllers (up to 3 apps per developer).
All we need is some basic support for the standard controller and we could earn 500,000 Amazon coins per GameSalad app.

Oh wow, yes please gamesalad.
Mind providing a link?
Are coins only for use on the Amazon store, or can they be used to buy real things too?
Edit: Nevermind, it's just the app stores.

Sounds great!
I am attending a Amazon Fire TV Developer Workshop in San Francisco today. Lots of great information. I will try to post info tonight.
Would love controller support, toucharcade as well as many others have been reporting that evidence strongly suggests the next apple tv will play iOS games much like the fire tv. I would say it would be of great value for gamesalad to support that sooner rather than later, future universal apps will probably be for iPhone,ipad, and apple tv.
My guess would also be that the controller support for the apple tv would be the same as the new controller sdk for iOS 7, which is already available. Would be awesome to see ios controller support as well as amazon controller support.
