It took longer than most people expected, but the all-new 3rd-gen Fire TV Cube has finally gone on sale for the first time in the US. For a limited time, you can buy the latest Fire TV Cube on sale for $124.99, which is 11% off the regular price of $139.99. The new Fire TV Cube has been on sale in Europe and Australia a few times since it was released in October, but this is the first time it has been discounted in the US, apart from a very limited discount for select qualifying customers a few months ago. While 11% off isn’t much of a sale, it’s certainly better than paying full price. The rest of the Fire TV lineup is also on sale, but those discounts are also a bit mediocre. If you need a Fire TV Stick soon you’ll save a bit with this sale, but if you’re looking for a great deal on a Fire TV Stick, you’re better off waiting for a better discount. As for the new Fire TV Cube, there’s no telling if this first sale will kick off the trend of the Cube always going on sale along with the rest of the lineup or if this is a one-off discount that won’t return for a while. Either way, you’re probably better off picking one up now if you’ve been holding out for a discount because, based on the fact that Amazon didn’t drop the price at all during Black Friday and the holidays, it doesn’t seem like Amazon is eager to drop the price of the new Fire TV Cube.

Amazon has put the brand-new 3rd-gen Fire TV Cube on sale for the first time for its early Black Friday sale. It’s not on sale in the US yet, but you can get it at a discount in several European countries. It’s on sale for £119.99 in the UK, which is 14% off. Those of you in German, Austria, France, Italy, or Spain can get the Fire TV Cube 3 on sale for €139.99, which is 13% off its regular price in those countries. Even though it’s not on sale yet in the US, the European sale prices tell us that, if it does go on sale in the US for Black Friday, it’ll probably be priced at $119.99. As a reminder, select lucky customers can get $40 off the Fire TV Cube 3 using promo code 4KCUBE at checkout, which is a better deal than any of these sale prices.

Amazon has just put several Fire TV models on sale as part of its Early Black Friday deals. Among them is the 2nd-gen Fire TV Cube on sale for $59.99. At 50% off the regular price, this matches the lowest price it has ever been. While the 3rd-gen Fire TV Cube is a great device, it has yet to go on sale, apart from the $40 discount that select customers can receive, so it’s hard to justify the price for some people. For those of you who do not want to spend too much but still get a great device with nearly all the same bells and whistles, the 2nd-gen Cube is a steal at this price. I would hold off on most of the Fire TV early Black Friday deals, since they will most likely drop a bit further by the end of the month, but I don’t expect the 2nd-gen Cube to drop any lower than this, so it’s safe to buy now if you’re interested.

If the new 3rd-gen Fire TV Cube is out of your budget and/or you don’t qualify for the current $40 discount available to select customers, now is a great time to pick up the older model at a discount. Woot is now selling the Amazon certified refurbished 2nd-gen Fire TV Cube for $44.99 with free shipping for Prime members. This is $5 lower than a refurbished Cube has ever been in the past and $15 lower than a new 2nd-gen Cube has ever been. Needless to say, the 2nd-gen Fire TV Cube is still a fantastic device that outperforms every Fire TV model, except the new 3rd-gen Cube, by a wide margin. One thing to note is that this particular Cube from Woot will come with the slightly older Alexa Voice Remote that does not have app shortcut buttons along the bottom or a guide button, but it still has TV power, volume, and mute controls on the remote. If it being refurbished is a concern, I’ll just add that I’ve personally purchased several refurbished Fire TV models over the years, including the 2nd-gen Fire TV Cube, and have never had an issue with the device or regretted the purchase.

Amazon is offering select lucky customers $40 off pre-orders of the all-new 3rd-gen Fire TV Cube by entering promo code 4KCUBE during checkout. Once again, this is only for qualifying customers so it will likely not work for most people. Needless to say, at 29% off the regular price of $139.99, this is a fantastic deal considering the Fire TV Cube was just announced yesterday. I’ve asked Amazon for information on what makes someone qualify for this offer and will report back if I get a response. If you’re on the fence about buying the new Fire TV Cube, I say give the promo code a try and if it works for your account then I suggest placing your order before it’s too late and deciding later if you want the device. The new Fire TV Cube doesn’t ship until October 25th so even if you order now with this promotion, you’ll have nearly a month to decide if you want to cancel the order or not.
