Amazon Prime Day Is Here!

Forget Black Friday – in recent years, Amazon have created their own holiday full of deals and cheap items and services – Prime Day. Of course, the tricky bit is to sort out the good offers – so I’m here to help.

Remember, while there are good bargains to be found, it’s important to keep in mind not every “Sale!” you see is necessarily the best price, so it’s always a good idea to check around.

Plus, never buy things you don’t need, just because they’re on sale.

And don’t forget – in order to take part in the Prime Day sales and offers, you need to be an Amazon Prime subscriber. Prime costs either £79/year or £7.99/month (which comes down to £95.88/year), and you get free next day shipping, a big library of movies and TV shows via Prime Instant Video, and a number of other perks.

If you’re not sure whether Amazon Prime is for you, you can still take part in the Prime Day celebrations, by getting a free 30-days trial via this link. 

When Is Amazon Prime Day 2018 In The UK?

This year, Prime Day will start on July 16 at noon, and will last for A DAY AND A HALF, so it’s actually Amazon Prime 1.5 Day…

Streaming Devices

Looking for a new streaming box to connect to your telly? While unfortunately, the new Amazon Fire TV Cube isn’t available in the UK yet, there are some great deals on Amazon’s other Fire devices:

£15 off the Fire TV Stick – The Fire TV stick is one of the best small-form-factor streaming devices, with apps for most of the streaming services out there (no NOW TV or iTunes, though). For this price, it’s a real bargain – and it even comes with the Alexa Voice Remote.

Fire TV with 4K – The ultimate Amazon Fire TV streamer (at least until the Cube arrives), if you need more power than what the stick can give you, this is another excellent streamer.

Sony PlayStation 4 Pro: While the PS4 Pro is obviously much more than a a streaming devices, it’s also excellent as a streamer AND a gaming machine.

NVIDIA SHIELD TV With Remote – Another excellent streaming and gaming device (with a controller) for one terrific price.

Smart/Streaming TV Set Deals

If it’s time to get a new telly – you might as well get a “smart” one, that offers TV streaming and apps such as Netflix and NOW TV. Prime Day has some nifty offers on smart TVs – here are some of the best ones:

Toshiba 43U5863DB 43-Inch Smart 4K Ultra-HD HDR – An Ultra-HD screen with Dolby Vision, plus FreeviewPlay, that lets you stream Freeview content on demand, as well as several of the popular streaming apps, including Netflix.

LG 55UJ634V 55″ 4K Ultra HD Smart TV – The LG TVs were first on the market to include the NOW TV app, and they also include Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, etc’.

Samsung UE55MU7070 55″ Smart 4K – I’m a big fan of the Samsung Smart TV interface – while a bit slow sometimes, it works well, and has almost every major streaming app you would need (except for Apple).

Amazon Music 4 months

With 40 million songs, curated playlists and special prices for Prime subscribers (and Amazon Echo owners), it’s not a bad choice (unless, like me, you have too many Spotify playlists you don’t want to give up…) – but what better way to test it out for yourself, for four months – for only £0.99.
