Amazon has kicked off its big Prime Day sale ahead of time with a few early deals. Some of these deals - including the cheap TVs - are great. Some of the products on offer, however, aren't quite as good value as they seem.
We're specifically talking about a number of Amazon devices that are listed as early offers on Amazon's main Prime Day page, including various versions of the Fire TV Stick and the Fire TV Cube. While the reductions of up to 41% on these already relatively affordable gadgets looks good at first glance, they've actually been cheaper in the past. And we expect most, if not all, will be cheaper when Amazon Prime Day starts proper on July 12.
Take the standard Fire TV Stick, which is currently listed for $24.99 after a $15 discount. Looks great right? Well, it was actually as low as $19.99 during last year's Black Friday and back in January. Then, when it comes to the Fire TV Stick 4K, this more advanced streaming stick was actually $10 less during Black Friday when compared to today's offer of $34.99.
Sure, the difference of a few bucks may not sound like much, but we would encourage patience if any of these items are on your Prime Day shopping list. With less than three weeks to go until the sale, you can almost certainly wait and get a better deal in July.
Aside from this, there still are some good Prime Day deals available now including many items down to their cheapest ever prices. We've highlighted them just below, including up to $700 off a number of Fire TVs and big discounts on refurbished products.
