$49 for a regular Kindle is a pretty good deal for anyone who doesn't have a Kindle yet, although the Paperwhite screens are so much better. Of course, those aren't on sale.
For my American homies: The sale has been going for about 3 hours now. The east coast is starting to wake up, but the vast majority of people in the U.S. are sleeping right now. They're not going to put any real good shit on sale right now just like they didn't on Black Friday. Later in the day is when all the real good shit starts showing up. I still wouldn't get your hopes too high (their Black Friday sale was good, but far from mind-blowing), but it'll be a lot better than what's available now.
Yeah I just woke up to see nothing spectacular. I'll pop back in later on to see if anything cool is available. I'm okay with not having an excuse to spend more money though, so its hard to be disappointed if nothing big shows up.
Long Story Short: Does the Amazon Fire TV Stick have the PBS app, so we can watch all of their shows and other programs?
Long Story, Unabridged:
By chance, does anybody know of of hand, or know of a website where I can find a list of all of the TV channel apps that are available for Amazon Fire TV? Specifically the Fire TV Stick, though I'm sure everything is pretty much the same between the Fire TV box and the stick models. We have an expansive cable package, so we will have an account for almost all possible TV channel apps, and we are looking for the apps for cable TV - AMC, A&E, USA, etc.
The deal breaker is that she wants to watch PBS shows, so she only wants a streaming device that has the PBS app built in or available to download. I know the Apple TV and Roku have the PBS app (since we also own both of those), but the Amazon Fire TV Stick is only $24 today (thanks to "Prime Day"). I just need to know if the Fire TV Stick has the PBS app, along with other aforementioned TV channel apps.
@chaser324: Thanks. I researched and found that the Fire TV Stick does support the PBS app, only I would have to download it and activate my code on PBS's website (same as when I activated Amazon on my smart TV).
Since they were going fast - as of right now, they are sold out and the wait list is full - I went ahead and purchased one either way, figuring that, at worst and didn't have a PBS app, that I could always return it or someone I know would buy it from me.
Nothing, because I don't shop from Amazon enough to warrant ever getting a Prime subscription. I wish they had a separate monthly subscription for their streaming shows/movies. I know the yearly price for Netflix is pretty much the same as a Prime sub, but paying 100 bucks all at once isn't as easy as paying 9 a month.
@rollingzeppelin: That's how they get you. You actually bought $200 headphones. They advertise a $400 regular price but you can always find them for $200 or less.
i got a samsung 500gb ssd for about $156 all-in. feeling pretty good about that!
on the whole though- pretty lacklustre in terms of real savings. much like black friday- there's a pittance of really outstanding deals that go super quick, and the rest are just designed to get you in the door to spend money you otherwise wouldn't.

It's all about the lightning deals which keep people coming back to the site. Unfortunately even those are pretty lackluster
What a weird "event". Almost nothing on sale, only a limited quantity is put for sale (everything is already sold out. which is weird. real stores can sell out. their supply should theoretically be unlimited. if x number of people want to buy so and so ps4 game, the publisher would gladly print more copies for them.) Sale prices are still higher than what you can regularly find stuff for (like 32GB memory cards for $25). And the things on sale are super obsolete, like iPhone 4 cases and clock radios.
I seemed to have miss the PS4 bundle with Arkham Knight, Witcher III, and PS Plus for $400. I was constantly searching the lightning deals, and it never came up. :-\
Anybody know how those Bose headphones are? I kinda wanted some really nice headphones for my ps4 and PC and they seem like they are on a pretty good deal, 79.99 from 149.99
Should probably note that Wal-Mart has been approximating a lot of the prices, and most of their games seem to b in stock. On the downside, it is Wal-Mart, but... eh.
I got FF 10 and 10-2 (Ps4) for $35 and The order 1886 for $20. A few other miscellaneous items too, but nothing of note. Prime day isn't turning balls out crazy like I hoped, but it hasn't been all that bad for me personally.
I also grabbed the FFX/X-2 deal. Also had Gone Girl on BluRay in my cart and saw it was like $15, so I grabbed that too. Thanks to Jeff's recent podcast rants; I might finally actually play FFX-2 to see it for myself.
The deals were too tempting. I got the PS4 and Xbox One bundles and the 50% off Bloodborne. I am now on the current consoles. Looking forward to the layers of dust on these things by the end of the year.
This sale is an absolute farce. Tried to get a 48" TV when it went on sale for $299. Hit add to cart the very second the sale started, instantly "sold out". That I can stomach, but it is still in stock for its normal price. They made it seem they would discount stuff until it is gone. But instead they allocate a small number of each product to give the illusion of a huge sale. Pretty disappointing.
hasn't been too great for video games really. Some of the prices were already matched in the last microsoft sale, borderlands thc 34.99.. that was its price digitally. I guess I just expected more.
Yeah, today has been super disappointing. It would have been a lot better if I was able to get that PS4 bundle.
Sadly, I don't think we will see any other bundles like that today.
Yea, I had it in my cart, then out, then in, trying to make up my mind if I should get it for my nephew. By the time I did make up my mind, it's deal was over. There is another bundle, but Final Fantasy Type 0 isn't a game he'd be interested in.
Oof, well, looks like I was totally wrong and that was indeed a lot of hype for nothing. Their BF sale wasn't anything to write home about either, but it was infinitely better than this. Some people seem to be grabbing exactly what they wanted so I guess it isn't all bad, but maaaan.
I got the PS4 + Arkham Knight + Final Fantasy Tpe-0 HD + 1-year of PS Plus for $400. I also got both GTA V and The Last of Us for my PS4, together for $60.
