Black Friday officially kicks off tomorrow, but you don’t have to wait till then to start shopping and bagging discounts. There’s a ton going for less right now; we’re talking plenty of tech gadgets, kitchen appliances, smart home devices, plus entertainment options. Amazon is being the most generous of all retailers, as it’s offering up to 50% off its own devices!
Those looking to give their entertainment setup an upgrade should consider grabbing the latest Amazon Fire TV Stick HD, which is slashed by 49% right now. It typically retails for $35, but the current discount drops the price to just $18. The offer is open to all shoppers (Prime and non-Prime members), but the discount and the stock won’t be around for long. Lock the drop in before the Black Friday rush hits.

Tons of Free and Paid Content, In a Single Place
The stick is tiny, but don’t let that fool you. It’s made for HD TVs, and lets you stream all your favorite content, whether it’s TV shows from the 90s or the latest crime thrillers in lifelike, detailed visuals that make every color pop in both dim and bright settings. Entertainment comes built right in. There’s support for all the popular streaming platforms (Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Peacock, and more), so you’ll never be out of content to watch. Binge the season 5 of Stranger Things on Netflix, and end the night with an episode of The Paper on Peacock to cool things down; all from a single place.
These platforms require subscriptions, though. Trying to cut back on those? No sweat. The stick also lets you access over 1 million free movies and TV episodes from ad-supported streaming apps like Prime Video, Tubi, Pluto TV, and more. Those who prefer live TV for a more cable-like feel can consider subscribing to platforms like Sling TV and YouTube TV. This way, you’ll also be able to keep an eye on what’s happening around the world, check the weather, and even watch live sports. Maybe get the day started with some worldly updates, and end it with an episode of your favorite series; the possibilities are endless. Support for music platforms like Amazon Music, Spotify, and Pandora makes it just as easy to listen to your favorite songs throughout the day without pulling your phone out, making it a true all-in-one entertainment device.
The stick comes with a remote for easy navigation, but for times you’re not in the mood to control it manually, you can just use your voice to command, and Alexa will answer. Ask it to launch shows, lower the volume, skip through a scene, and pause; without getting up from your couch. Fire TV Search also lets you find movies by actor, plot, and quotes, so you can also say something like “Alexa, show me the best horror shows of all time” or “Alexa, show me the latest Ryan Gosling movies” instead of getting lost scrolling through a huge library on your own.
To get started, all that you need to do is plug the Fire TV Stick HD directly into your HDTV or use the included HDMI extender. Plug it into a wall outlet, and connect to the internet. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish the setup. The latest Fire TV Stick HD was already quite affordable at $35, but you can now grab it for just $18 with Amazon’s Black Friday sale. It’s the lowest we have seen it drop to in a long while, and at under $20, it’s practically a steal considering all the features you’re getting.
