Amazon bundles all-new 4K HDR Fire TV with Echo Dot for just $79.99

In addition to offering the new 3rd-generation Fire TV for $69.99 on its own, Amazon is also bundling it with an Echo Dot for $79.99. At just $10 more than the Fire TV alone, it seems like a no-brainer for anyone ordering the new device to purchase the bundle instead. With the Echo Dot costing $49.99 on its own, the bundle saves you $40.

Amazon is also now bundling the Fire TV Stick and Echo Dot for $59.99. At $20 more than the price of a Fire TV Stick on its own, that bundle is not as attractive as the one with the new Fire TV, but it still saves you $30 over buying the two devices separately.

Amazon announces a new Echo accessory called the Echo Button

Amazon has announced the Echo Button, which is a small device, similar in size to the Echo Dot, that wirelessly connects to Echo devices to give you a way to physically interact with Amazon’s line of smart speakers. It was demonstrated as the buzzer button for an Alexa trivia game skill at today’s event, but will likely be capable of much more thanks to a new Gadget API that Amazon announced for Alexa developers.
