Prime Day is the perfect opportunity to hunt for deals on Amazon’s portfolio of devices, but if you are hoping to catch a bargain price for the Fire TV Stick, you won’t have to wait until October 13. Early Prime Day deals on Amazon-owned Woot include the Fire TV Stick for only $20, for a 50% discount from its original price of $40.

The Fire TV Stick is a device that attaches to an HDMI port to stream content into any high-definition TV. Its installation takes only a few easy steps, and before long, you will be watching TV shows and movies from your favorite streaming services, such as Netflix and Disney+, on your HDTV.

Bundled with the Fire TV Stick is the Alexa Voice Remote, which makes it much easier to search for content as Amazon’s digital assistant will do the work for you. The remote is also capable of tapping into compatible smart home devices, allowing you to ask Alexa to control the lights and thermostats without having to interrupt your watching.

In addition to TV shows and movies, the Fire TV Stick enables access to a library of casual games that you can play right on the TV screen. It’s a nice bonus feature that adds another dimension to the device, but because playing games with the Alexa Voice Remote isn’t ideal, the experience will be better if you connect a compatible Bluetooth controller.

The full potential of the Fire TV Stick, however, is unlocked if you have an active Prime membership. The device makes it easier to access Prime Video and Prime Music, for example, while also giving you a new platform to enjoy the content offered by these subscription services.

The Fire TV Stick is a powerful little device that breathes new life into your HDTV, and it becomes an even more valuable addition to your entertainment hub if you are heavily invested in Amazon’s ecosystem of content. The Fire TV Stick is currently on sale with a 50% discount on Woot, bringing its price down from $40 to $20 for an offer that may be too hard to refuse.

Don’t like giant ads on Amazon Fire TV? Then don’t buy one
A promo for a show on Amazon Freevee.

Oh, no! A full-screen promotion for a service on the platform you basically got for free! Phil Nickinson / Digital Trends

There’s been a little bit of a kerfuffle of late regarding Amazon Fire TV and advertising. Not that it has ads on the home screen, mind you. That’s not exactly new. But, rather, that you’re getting pushed onto a full-screen promo when coming out of sleep mode because you’re landing right atop the featured carousel, which in turns triggers the full-screen ad. Previously, you’d have to click up into the carousel for it to expand.

Amazon is giving you 6 months of MGM+ when you buy a new Fire TV
Amazon announcing a partnership with MGM.

Amazon is giving six months of free access to MGM+ in conjunction with the purchase of a new Fire TV. The announcement came as part of Amazon's massive annual device event at HQ2 in Arlington, Virginia. And that means low-cost sticks, as well as more expensive televisions running Amazon Fire TV.

Unsurprisingly, Amazon also used the event to announce a new Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Stick 4K Max, and Fire TV Soundbar. Amazon announced in March 2023 that more than 200 million Fire TV devices had been sold worldwide, and that number is poised to continue growing strongly.
