Amazon has extended their Music Unlimited promotion from earlier this month. If you own an Echo device, you can get 4 months of Amazon Music Unlimited service for FREE with no purchase required and you don’t even need to be a Prime member. The terms of the offer say it is only for new subscribers, but that just means you can’t already have an active subscription. If you’ve had Amazon Music Unlimited in the past, you can still be eligible for this promotion and get 4 months for free. Read more ›
Get this Floodlight Camera + Echo Dot Deal
The Ring Floodlight Security Camera is on sale for $189.99 and it comes with a free 3rd-gen Echo Dot. It features a motion-activated camera that will turn on the lights as well when its dark, a siren, and two-way talking through a built-in mic and speaker. This is the first time that it has ever been priced this low. Strangely, only the White version is this price with the free Echo Dot. The Black version on its own is also $189.99, but it does not include a free Echo Dot.
Several of Amazon’s Black Friday Deals have already gone live, including all of their Fire TV discounts, but there are plenty of more deals to come. The vast majority of there pending sales will almost certainly go live Tonight, November 21st, at 9pm PST / 12am EST. This includes all of the upcoming Amazon Echo deals, such as the Amazon Echo Dot 3 for $24, which will certainly be the top-selling item across Amazon’s entire site during this year’s Black Friday sales event. I’ll be here posting all of the best deals as soon as they go live. Take a look at the full list of known deals to see what’s to come.
Amazon has now mached this deal and also has the Ring Doorbell + Echo Dot Bundle for $139.
Best Buy currently has a great deal on the Ring Video Doorbell 2 with Echo Dot 3 for $139.99. This sale is essentially two different deals that happen to be stacking on top of each other. The Ring Video Doorbell 2 normally costs $199.99. Best Buy has put it on sale for $139.99. However, Amazon is simultaneously including a free Echo Dot 3 with the purchase of this Ring Doorbell, both at Amazon and other retailers like Best Buy. So, Best Buy’s sale on the Doorbell and Amazon’s free Echo Dot stack to get you this great deal. When you added the doorbell to your Best Buy cart, you’ll automatically see the free Echo Dot appear at checkout. Also worth considering is the Ring Spotlight Camera 2-Pack for $249.99. That pack is $100 off the regular price. You have to be logged into a Best Buy accout to see these prices.
A few Amazon Fire TV apps and games have gone on sale this morning, presumably to get a piece of the Black Friday rush. First is tinyCam PRO, which has dropped from $3.99 to $1.99. This matches the lowest price that it has ever been, apart from when it was briefly free back in 2015 (good times). This is a very popular app for viewing IP camera streams. Next is Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, which has dropped from $4.99 to $2.99. This is a great game, but sadly it is only compatible with the Fire TV 1 and 2 boxes. A game that is compatible with all Fire TV and Fire TV Stick models is Cyboid, which has dropped from $1.99 to $0.99. This is a fast-paced 3D first person shooter. The developer tells me he recently added new levels, monsters, achievements, and items, as well as improved the graphics engine. Lastly is PhotoFrame for Synology PhotoStation, which is more of a niche app. It allows Synology NAS owners, which I am among, to remotely view their photos. The app is down from $4.99 to $1.50. UPDATE: The Jackbox Party Pack 5 is also on sale, down from $29.99 to $22.49.
If it wasn’t obvious yet, I think the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is hands-down the best budget streaming device on the market right now. At its current sale price of $34.99, it’s also among the best Black Friday deals you can get. If that doesn’t appeal to you, or if you’re already up to your neck in Fire TV devices and want to try something different, the Xiaomi Mi Box S is on sale for $49.99 at Walmart, which is the only place that sells it. If you’re curious about trying Android TV, this is the best entry device to get. The NVIDIA Shield TV is certainly the best Android TV device overall, but it does command a hefty price. If you add a Google Home Mini to your order of the Mi Box S, Walmart will knock off another $29 off the total, getting you the two devices for $69.99.
Get this Headphone + FreeTime Deal
Here is a great deal for those of you with kids. Amazon is offering a 3 Month FreeTime Unlimited subscription for $2.99 that also comes with Free Disney Kids Headphones. At a regular price of $29.99, the 3 month FreeTime Unlimited subscription is a good deal on its own, but the Disney headphones, which retail for $20-$25, make it the best deal I’ve ever seen for FreeTime. To get this deal, just add the $2.99 offer to your cart and checkout. There will be a message (on a desktop browser at least) at the top of the checkout page telling you that you qualify for the free headphones. Finish checking out and then you’ll be able to go back and purchase one of these 3 Disney Kids Headphones with a discount at checkout that makes the headphone free. These headphones have a 3 level switch that lets you set a volume limit so that your little one doesn’t hurt their hearing. This deal is actually worth it for the headphones alone. FreeTime Unlimited, which provides access to hundreds of kid-friendly games, educational apps, movies, shows, and books, is almost just an extra perk.
Amazon just kicked off their Black Friday sale for Blink XT Security Cameras this morning. These are the weatherproof outdoor cameras that are completely wire-free and run for 2 years on a pair of (included) batteries. They achieve this by remaining in a low-power state until their motion sensors detect movement and begin recording instantly. There’s no monthly subscription fee with these cameras and you get free cloud storage. The Blink XT 1 Camera System is $78.99 and the Blink XT 2 Camera System is $149.99. These prices are $4 and $10, respectively, higher than they were during Prime Day, but they’re still a great deal. Where you’ll really start saving is with the 3 and 5 camera kits. The Blink XT 3 Camera System is $229.99 and the Blink XT 5 Camera System is $349.99. These are both the new lowest price that they have ever been. These kits come with everything you’ll need to start monitoring your property in minutes and they’re Alexa compatible, so you can pull up the camera feed by voice on your Fire TV or Echo Show. If you don’t plan to use them outdoors, the regular Blink Cameras are also on sale, starting at $66.99. Those are about 15-30% less expensive than these beefed up outdoor versions.
Get this Fire TV Stick + STARZ Deal
The Amazon Fire TV Stick is currently on sale for $24.99 for Black Friday, but Amazon is sweetening the deal by now also including 2 months of STARZ for free. The premium cable network is available as a Prime Video Channel for $8.99 a month, giving this bundle a retail price of $57.97. The STARZ subscription starts immediately after checkout and can be accessed through any Prime Video app or Fire TV device while you wait for the new Fire TV Stick to arrive. This deal is only available to Prime members and new STARZ subscribers. The subscription will be set to automatically renew at its regular price after the two free months end, so you may want to disable automatic renewal through Amazon’s channel management page if you pick up this bundle. Amazon has offered streaming media subscriptions with the purchase of Fire TV hardware in the past, such as MLB.TV and ESPN+ subscriptions, but this is the first time they’ve ever bundled a Prime Video Channel subscription with their hardware and offered it directly through the device’s product page. This free STARZ subscription is exclusively available with the regular Fire TV Stick and is not available with any other Fire TV model.
In case you missed my early morning posts on Sunday when these deals first went live, the entire Fire TV lineup is already on sale at their Black Friday prices. A few have asked if they’ll be any cheaper on actual Black Friday and the answer is no. This is as low as any of these devices will be during the holidays, so there’s no reason to wait until actual Black Friday or even Cyber Monday to place an order. The best deal of the bunch is easily the Fire TV Stick 4K for $34.99. This is the first time the new 4K streamer has ever gone on sale and it’s one heck of a discount, considering the device was released just a few weeks ago. The Fire TV Stick 4K is the most powerful streaming device in Amazon’s lineup, yes, even more powerful than the Fire TV Cube. If you can’t decide which device to buy, you should probably get the Fire TV Stick 4K. The Fire TV Cube is on sale for $59.99. Even though it’s not as powerful as the Fire TV Stick 4K, it is by no means a sluggish device. This sale is for the new Fire TV Cube bundle that includes the updated voice remote that comes with built-in power and volume buttons. Additionally, it comes with an Ethernet adapter, and is the only Fire TV model that has hands-free Alexa capabilities and officially supports external storage. The regular Fire TV Stick is on sale for $24.99. While it’s a fine device, it is well worth paying the extra $10 to get the Fire TV Stick 4K instead, especially because the regular Stick has been $5 less than this in the past. Lastly, the Fire TV Recast is on sale for $179.99. That’s for the 500GB 2-tuner model. The 1TB 4-tuner model is also on sale at $219.99.
