Amazon Prime Day - 13th/14th October 2020

DubDJ

Amazon just announced that Prime Day will kick off from the 13th of October this year. Think it’s usually in July but later this year because of COVID-19. Hopefully there will be a few decent deals this year.

Today (Sunday) I experienced what seems to be the new fast delivery service by Amazon.

On the Amazon order page, when clicking on the delivery tracking I could see the location of the driver on a map, while he was approaching for delivering my order (map was also displaying how many stops before arriving to my place).

There seems to be a number of drivers recruited for that reason:

New to this prime day craic. What's the chances if a Nintendo Switch been discounted ? Or should I hang on until Black Friday ?

Black Friday last year was absolute rubbish offers.
Amazon actually had some decent offers in the weeks before but there were hardly any decent offers for the Black Friday week.

I think all I bought was a Logitech MX2 mouse.

I have personally had stuff cancelled immediately if they couldnt take payment in first try.

But most stuff they try for 5 days.

What are peoples top buys they are looking out for on Prime day

Money burning a hole in my pocket.

Might get another 4k firestick if they are reduced

Main discounts are Amazon own brand items like Echo, Fire Stick, Ring items, Hue items.

I generally but a few Philips Hue kits on discount to gift for Xmas. People love them.

What are the chances of successfuly ordering something late on the wednesday evening if my wages hit the account early Thursday morning?

I think they try a few times for the payment, I don't think they wait long on BF before trying for it

The console wont be discounted. I have never seen the console on a discount since it came out to be honest. However they do decent bundles with games/accessories so you may be able to get a decent deal.

Expecting big discounts on the current 3rd gen dots or them bundled in for free with stuff to get rid of stock. The 4th Gen a due for release about a week later so they will look to get rid of stock.

They try for a few days if they can't take it. Can be handy if you not sure if you want something or or not. I use revolute and just top it up if I want to buy it.

No harm if you are not in a hurry....Argos has a pretty good cheap range for €250 odd too.

Definitely a possibility. I've seen end Chromebooks go on limited time offer from €240 to €190

Hoping for warehouse discounts

Amazon UK customers always at the -1h disadvantage there, given that most warehouse items are shared between all of their European stores. Last time I checked, all the items I was looking for were all gone long before the 20% discount kicked in on co.uk. Still, they tend to have more warehouse stock of selected items that are either very popular or very unpopular.

Yup.

But they don't work with sky q boxes apparently.

I had some issues previously with the wifi connection on it, the signal was interfering with the box I think, but Ethernet works perfectly now. Wifi signal is so strong anyway, doesn’t really matter too much where you place it.

I can do a cast of video from my phone but can’t use the phone as remote.

You what’s going wrong?

I think that might be a different one. The one I have is just Fire TV app.

If you get a Firestick get an app on your phone called Apps2Fire. It lets you send apps downloaded from Google Play store to your Firestick. Also download the Fire TV app so you can turn your phone into a remote and can type in things.

I don't have Sky Q and I've just ordered some M4's, don't even have them yet, so take what I say with a huge grain of salt.

But I thought you could set one up beside the sky box and connect it by ethernet cable?

I used to have TP-Link powerline adapters too and they’d keep disconnecting and I’d have to go through a long process of reconnecting them again.

Saw a great deal on the Deco M5s and picked them up to give it a go... haven’t looked back since. Powerline adapters are long gone and M5s have replaced them... pretty much faultless. Full connection around the house (2 floors) and even as far as the back garden too. WiFi and Ethernet, both exact same performance-wise and they’ve a handy little thing about them where if one deco loses connection, it’ll reconnect based off of the other two. Well worth the money, a nice and easy app to control them too.

Interested in the eero system but wondering if someone can help me with a question. I have a Virgin Media package (the latest small white router) and fund the wifi to be terrible. So I'm using TP Link Powerline adaptors. These claim to boost the wifi but I don't see any difference. However, they are useful to get a wired connection to my Desktop and NAS in my home office.

If I bought the mesh system, could I disable the wifi function of the TP Link devices and just use them for wired devices and then use eero for wifi boosting / meshing?

Thanks!

Could you theoretically download sky go and send it to the firestick?

I was bit behind with firestick, iptv and all that
Came across the firestick thread and a really good youtube video about a month ago.
Last week himself went to bed early because he said he has too much choice on the TV now and couldn't choose ðŸ˜†
The only sub we pay now is for a vpn, for security obviously

Have you any links or videos to get an understanding ? I've got an iptv app loaded onto my TV but struggling to find an iptv sub or whatever is needed.

Cool cool, I don't have a TV subscription with Sky etc as I never watch live TV(unless it's sports) so firestick would be pointless. Cheers
