Select customers can get the Fire TV Stick 4K for $29.99

Posted by Elias Saba on April 24, 2019 — 30 Comments

Amazon is currently running a targeted promotion that allows select customers to buy a Fire TV Stick 4K for $29.99 using promo code POWERFUL4K. You can also try the promo code 4KUPGRADE. The savings code will only work for certain customers and there is no way to know who those customers are or why they qualify. The offer terms indicate that this is an upgrade promotion being sent out to customers who have previously purchased or registered a streaming device, but having purchased a Fire TV model in the past is not enough to guarantee you’ll qualify for this promotion. The promo code is set to expire on May 7th.

Amazon Fire TV Stick is on sale for $29.99 — Includes power and volume buttons on new remote

Posted by Elias Saba on April 15, 2019 — 17 Comments

Get this Fire TV Stick Deal

The Amazon Fire TV Stick is on sale for $29.99 as part of Amazon’s huge Spring Sale on devices. This is Amazon’s most popular streaming device by a long shot because it provides a great deal of functionality for a great price. That value is even better now that the Fire TV Stick includes the new Alexa voice remote with built-in power and volume buttons. If you have room in your budget, I highly recommend spending an extra $10 and getting the Fire TV Stick 4K on sale for $39.99 instead, due to its improved performance. However, if you’re on a budget and/or don’t have a 4K TV, then the regular 1080p Fire TV Stick is still a very capable device. Also on sale is the Fire TV Cube for $79.99 and the Fire TV Recast for $189.99.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is on sale for $39.99

Posted by Elias Saba on April 15, 2019

Get this Fire TV Stick 4K Deal

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is sale for $39.99 as part of Amazon’s huge Spring Sale on devices. The Fire TV Stick 4K is the most powerful streaming device Amazon currently sells. Even if you don’t have a 4K TV, it is highly recommended to pay the extra $10 to get this model instead of the regular Fire TV Stick, which is currently on sale for $29.99. The extra power, among other improvements, is well worth the extra money. All Fire TV models now come with the new Alexa voice remote with power and volume buttons built-in, so that’s no longer a major reason to get the Fire TV Stick 4K over other models. Also on sale is the Fire TV Cube for $79.99 and the Fire TV Recast for $189.99.

Amazon Fire TV Cube is on sale for $79.99

Posted by Elias Saba on April 15, 2019

Get this Fire TV Cube Deal

Amazon has the Fire TV Cube on sale for $79.99 as part of their huge Spring Sale on devices. That’s $40 off the regular price of $119.99. The Fire TV Cube is slightly less powerful than the Fire TV Stick 4K, which is also on sale for $39.99 right now, but it’s still certainly worth considering because of the included Ethernet adapter ($15 value), double the internal storage, universal IR blaster capabilities, and the built-in hands-free Alexa speaker. Also on sale is the Fire TV Stick for $29.99, and the Fire TV Recast for $189.99.

Amazon Fire TV Recast is on sale for $189.99 — Now supports external USB storage

Posted by Elias Saba on April 15, 2019 — 3 Comments

Get this Fire TV Recast Deal

Amazon has put the Fire TV Recast on sale for $189.99 as part of their huge Spring Sale on devices. That saves you $40 off of the regular price for the 500GB model that comes with 2 tuners. You can spend a bit more and get the 1TB Fire TV Recast on sale for $229.99 which includes 4 tuners. The Fire TV Recast now supports external USB storage, so the internal capacity isn’t as important as it once was, but I’d still spring for the higher-end model so that you get the ability to record 4 channels at once and not have to worry nearly as much about recording conflicts.

App Deal: Cyboid game for Fire TV is Free for the first time

Posted by Elias Saba on April 1, 2019 — 3 Comments

Get Cyboid for Free

The Fire TV game Cyboid has just gone free for the first time. This is a high-speed 3D first-person shooter game that is reminiscent of the old Quake games. The game normally costs $1.99, but the developer is experimenting with a new subscription model that unlocks all in-app purchasable extras in the game for a $0.99 monthly subscription, so they’re offering it for free to gauge the new option. Even if you don’t pay the subscription or buy any of the in-app items, there is plenty of fun to be had with what is included with the core game, which is what you’re getting for free during this sale. The sale is scheduled to end on April 5th. The game is also available on sale and for free for Fire tablets as a separate app.

The Logitech K400 Plus Keyboard is on sale for $17.98 today only. This matches the lowest price that it has ever been in the past.

This is a wireless keyboard that uses an included USB dongle. It works with the Fire TV 1 and Fire TV 2 without needing anything extra, but for to work with the Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Stick 2, Fire TV 3, and Fire TV Cube, you will need an OTG cable or OTG Hub to use this keyboard.
