Amazon Prime Day 2 is now live, and it always brings great deals every time it swings by, and that goes for the sequel, Amazon Prime Day 2, as well. Even though the full sale hasn't even started yet (and it won't until October 10th), you can already save some cash. You can check out all the juicy details in our full Amazon October Prime Day post, but I'm here to shine a light on the quick-and-easy devices you can get discounts on right now.
October Prime Day Device Deals
You can currently snag up to 54% off Amazon Fire TV sticks, which are super handy for those who always want to stay on top of their media. You can also save up to $210 on Amazon Fire TVs, which range from 43" to 75", meaning you can get a proper large 4K Smart TV for under $1,000.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Prime Day is Amazon's semi-annual exclusive deal-fest, with the caveat that it's only available to Prime members. You can expect to find deals on a wide range of great items, from games and tech to all kinds of home goods, productivity items, and whatever else you can shake a stick at (although I don't THINK you can buy any shaking sticks... but maybe I'm wrong! Let me know in the comments).
You can also follow @IGNDeals on Twitter, or join the Deals community Discord for more updates and deals talk, regardless of whether there is a major sales event or you are just looking to save some cash on a random day.
You'll Need to Be a Prime Member
I hear you thinking: 'How much is a Prime membership?' That's an easy question to answer. For US-based customers, Amazon Prime is $14.99 per month or $139 per year (£7.99/month or £89 in the UK). Even better, there's a 30-day free trial, and students can get a 6-month trial and Prime at 50% off ($7.49/month) after their trial period ends.
If you haven't used it yet, the 30-day Amazon Prime trial is a great way to save cash during events like these, even if you don't want to pay to subscribe. Just remember to turn off auto-renewal and you'll be set. And while you're there, you can enjoy tons of great stuff through Amazon Prime video, free shipping, and even in-game bonuses through Twitch / Amazon Prime Gaming (grab World of Warcraft bonuses, Smite loot, Overwatch and Valorant skins, and tons more).
What's On Sale for Amazon Prime Day 2?
That's a great question (and so succinct, too)! Right now Amazon Fire TV sticks are on sale, as well as some Amazon Fire TVs, which are a great way to get rolling on a great entertainment center, spice up a spare room, or even blow out your desk setup in the most ridiculous (and fun) way.
A whole swath of other devices are also on sale, including tablets, E-readers, Echo devices, Ring equipment, and a ton more (check the top link in the catalog below to check out the entire roster of devices).
