Most likely. I got mine for £80 about a year ago and that wasn't even in the Black Friday sale. That was the one with ads but I contacted online support when I got it and told them I didn't realise it had ads on it and they removed them for no charge.

Goddamn it. Forgot about Black Friday and ordered a Kindle Paperwhite on Friday last. Just tried to cancel it there, but it's too late. Does the sale start midnight tonight I wonder, see if it's worth my while to refuse the package and order a new one.

Prediction: The FireTV was on sale in 2015... if the Fire stick goes on sale this year I highly recommend everyone picks one up as it's quite possibly the best thing that I've ever purchased on Amazon (well the Echo Dot is a close 2nd).

I didnt even take mine out of the box yet :pac: Too lazy to set it up the past few months

Mrcheez - thanks for the heads up with this thread - thinking of getting amazon fire tv as it has ethernet - my broadband is 6mps so wireless isn't an option - is it easy put kodi on the fire tv as opposed to the fire stick - sorry I am technical but didn't know these worked in Ireland - also I assume it can run plex and netflix.

Sorry if it appears like a newbie question - I just have no experience with Amazon fire tv.

Thanks

The speed of your connection won't determine whether or not you can use the wireless option, if you have WiFi on your router then you can use the Firestick.

6MB is more than enough. I have a 2MB connection (I know!) and can stream HD no problems over my Wifi.

This isn't really the place to discuss this though (PM me if you want more info).

Methinks it has already started !!!

Some cheap tvs
i5 laptop for £300 looks a good price

When will the fire sticks and tablets be reduced?

Pyrrhic

Picked up the Lenovo for £299.

Not a full HD screen but happy enough with the i5, 1TB.

Stick will do fine for streaming. But the box is a good bit better...if you can stretch to it I would.

This is supposed to start today? But it looks like any regular day on the Amazon.co.uk website? There's 3574 results in all deals with lots of generic deals you'd see most days that either don't have an expiry or are up for 3+ hours.

I have lots of stuff on my Amazon wish list and so far none of it is reduced.

There's a wireless mouse for £8.30 if anyone's looking for something else to get.

A quick question: I've tried to buy the Fire TV stick but it tells me that my address is invalid, so I tried my sister in-law's in London and the same thing happened. What am I doing wrong? (Apart from derailing the thread!!!)

Why don't you wait until the fire stick drops in price?

Apologies for asking but I was trying to find stuff about last year- I'm hoping to get a Samsung tablet in Black Friday on Amazon but how likely is it?

You need a uk shipping address to buy the fire tv stick so maybe they are now checking the credit card billing address too... hope not!

I saw it for sale for €50 in a maplin shop the other day so you could try there if asap beats price..Not on their irish website though.

Nothing listed under the "Amazon Devices" section apart from refurbished Kindles.

Am I correct in saying that new items will be added continuosly for the next few days? (Hoping to pick up a Kindle Voyage)

Thanks,

P.

Have a look at AddressPal and see if that will work for you.

https://addresspal.anpost.ie/

Using it away and it's working perfect. UK postage address and you pay €3.50 when you collect at your local post office.

For anyone using ParcelMotel/AddressPal, Amazon might ship 1 order in multiple packages, and you might end up paying for ParcelMotel/AddressPal more than once

I paid just £15 for mine!

Even £40 is very good, for an incredibly powerful computing device that gives you access to so much content.
