Amazon Prime Day (opens in new tab) is slowly closing in now, and, while we're still a few weeks away from the big day itself, there are already some great goodies being dropped for Prime members.

Case in point - this Amazon Echo Dot and Amazon Music Unlimited bundle for just $8.99 (was $39) (opens in new tab). With this promotion, new customers don't even have to wait until the official Amazon Prime Day deals to bag one of the best small smart speakers around for just $0.99 - it's being offered for that price right now alongside a month of Amazon Music Unlimited.

Ok, so there are a few caveats to consider here. Firstly, this promotion is currently available to new customers only - which we interpret as customers who don't already own an Echo device or are existing Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers. Secondly, like all Amazon Prime Day deals you do need to be an Amazon Prime member to be eligible for this discount. Finally, it's not the latest Amazon Echo model, but the slightly older 3rd generation on offer here.

That last point, while not optimal, isn't much of a dealbreaker in our eyes. The leap from the 3rd generation to the 4th generation of Echo Dot devices brought mostly aesthetic changes, so you're still getting a really great little smart speaker here. The latest generation also retails for $49.99 (opens in new tab) currently, so the bang-for-the-buck is unquestionably better with this deal.

An excellent deal for Amazon Prime members
