The Amazon End of Summer Sale Thursday 22nd -30th Aug

my3cents

Just seen this advertised on the tele, but nothing showing on the Amazon home page.

Anyone know what to expect?

Hoping for a decent extra percentage off for Warehouse deals (and better luck with them)?

Wow! 99% off a touch pad stylus. Now I'm kicking myself for paying €5,000 for one.

I bought the Alexa Show 5 for €50 on Prime day, it is good but thinking about it this would have been much better as I could move it to the kitchen island for cooking.

Skerries

would the speaker on the Show not be better?

Recommend these to people with kids who just want something for them to watch videos on. I brought my 8 inch one travelling and it was great for Netflix, Channel 4 player and basic games (could play Clash of Clans fine on it).

It got annoying if I tried to do any real work on it, type documents etc. It's not v responsive, you may have to press buttons twice. But I paid €75 for my 32GB one so I'm not complaining!

I got 7" ones in warehouse before for 25 and perfect for kids

Is it likely that the 4K firestick will get a reduction as part of this sale?

Good chance. Non 4k is already discounted. Amazon always discount their own items in most sales.

Was 24.99£ for Prime sales , dont think it will be that low maybe a 10-15£ discount max.

£39.99 for the 4k firestick probably as cheap as it will get I reckon.

chrislad

Hoping those Blink cameras will go on sale. Down to 99 on Prime Day, and I missed them.

Anyone know if these are any use?

I have them and they're pretty good, 4/5 is about right.
the NC is good on them, and sound quality is pretty good too. for €100 they're a good buy.
I find the cups a little small, although they do just about completely envelope my ears. the fit of the band is a little tight, although I reckon if you left them slightly stretched for a while, they might get a little looser.
I had Sennheiser HD215s before this, which I found a little more comfortable.

I have these and use them a lot for the likes of Netflix etc at home. They are excellent. Zero latency issues and the battery lasts for ages.

Cups are a weird size, kinda between on ear and over ear.

I bought them refurbished for £79 so the offer price is excellent for what you get imo.

Have yet to use them on a flight or any other sort of transport so cant really comment on how good the ANC is.

I know it's easy to get to Ireland via 3rd party addresses but why do Amazon still not ship direct to Ireland?

4k stick is faster and an all round better stick, no need for a 4k tv it will work fine and for the extra tenner you may as well go for the better stick

Depends on the smart tv tbh some are absolute pony, google the difference to your smart tv

For me it gives a new lease of life to an old smart TV (2012). The fact that I can control 90% of the Fire Stick with my TVs remote is excellent.

I basically have everything I need on one device.

RTE Player (June version)
BBC iPlayer
ITV Hub
All4
My5
Netflix
Amazon Prime
Plex
YouTube
Other streaming services.
Open VPN ( Enables me to use my smart DNS outside of the home network when taking the Fire Stick abroad)

I only wish I had purchased another one. Hopefully the price will drop again on Black Friday.

How are you getting the Fire stick shipped to you? Amazon say they don't, ship them to Ireland...I guess Parcel Motel?

Thanks lads. My smart TV is relatively new so don't think the Fire Stick would be of much benefit to me.

Being told it won’t ship to Northern Ireland

Yeah just added to my basket to see and now Parcel Motel isn’t accepted.
Maybe the beginning of the end for Parcel Motel deliveries?

It's when you try buy. Says it won't ship to Northern Ireland. Strange. I got one at the last sale and the standard ones via parcel motel last time.

OnePlus 6 is €387 at the moment. Decent phone for the price.
