Every year around this time, Amazon offers deep discounts for its Prime Day sales, and people keep an eye out for the best Prime Day deals. This year, there seem to be some early deals available ahead of Prime Day’s official launch tomorrow, July 16, including some of the best Prime Day streaming deals that will help you save on the must-have streaming services and devices. One device that is often heavily discounted on Prime Day is Amazon’s own Amazon Fire TV Stick, and today there’s an early opportunity to save on this popular streaming stick. Normally priced at $40, the device is discounted to just $18 today, a 55% savings.

Why you should buy the Amazon Fire TV Stick

If you have an older TV without smart features but want to enjoy easy access to streaming services, you don’t have to throw out your old set and buy a whole new TV. Instead, you can get an inexpensive device like an Amazon Fire TV Stick and access services like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and of course, Amazon’s own Prime Video service. You simply plug the device into an HDMI port (usually on the back or bottom of your TV) and then you can easily access all of your favorite streaming services using the included remote.

As well as accessing your paid streaming services, you get access to live TV through services like Hulu+ Live TV, SLING TV, YouTube TV, and you can watch free TV through services like Pluto TV, Amazon Freevee, and more. Amazon has also recently entered the gaming market, so you can find games on Fire TV through the Amazon Luna service or download games from the App Store. As a bonus for Amazon Prime members, you can also access a selection of free games on Luna.

This deal is for the latest generation of the Fire TV Stick, which lets you use Alexa to control the TV via voice commands as well as the included remote. This version of the Fire TV Stick supports up to 1080p resolution, but if you want 4K resolution support, you’ll want to check out the Fire TV Stick 4K. Grab it for $18 in the early Prime Day deals.
