The Amazon Firestick is a very popular streaming device but we noticed something you should look out for before buying a Firestick. The Firestick is a very good device for it's price, but we also don't want to spend more money than we need to on streaming devices. 👉 Follow on Twitter - https://twitter.com/Free__Tech 👉 Follow on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LetsCrackOn 👉 2nd YouTube Channel - /letscrackon Best VPN Apps 👇 IPVanish : https://letscrackon.org/ipvanish #Amazon #Firestick #Streaming

@deansmith6092last year I was just about to buy a firestick for the first time so did a bit of digging and came across your channel. It’s been really helpful and this latest one was well worth a watch for me. Thanks buddy
@

@alexanderkennedy9954last year Yeah, the prices of a lot of Amazon devices seem to have jumped up a fair bit lately. Last month, I was looking at getting a full size Amazon Echo speaker, but then I noticed that the price had shot from £89.99 to £109.99. That's a 22.2% increase! Your advice is spot on .... don't buy any Amazon devices until they're on sale! ... 9
@

@dm747last year You asked what we use for streaming - I use a NVIDIA SHIELD and have for years. Thanks for your videos! Keep up the good work. 3
@

@lorrainethompson643last year I live in Spain and have a firestick 4K max, I have not noticed the price hike as I am not looking to renew yet but am waiting for a new one to be released depending on price. Keep the videos coming always enjoy them from you. ... 2
@

@kahukenlast year We have ditched our Amazon Firestick devices and stopped our Prime Account as well. We bought the NVIDIA Shield Pro a couple years ago and use it on our primary TV. More recently on our other TVs we are using the MeCool KM6 and the UGOOS TV Box. We use all the devices with Launchers and don't deal with Adverts! Thanks for exposing Amazon. We appreciate your getting the word out! ... 2

@christophershaw2235last year Never a waste of time, mate. Thanks for all you do 😊 5

@wardthereseller5507last year Currently in the US Lite $19.99 3rd Gen $24.99 and 4K Max $34.99 on sale. I just retired my 2nd Gen Amazon stopped updating it. Replaced it with the 4k Max. Keep up the great work 1
@

@BARRYSPOSTBOXlast year A great video mate , thanks for the tip off with Amazon fire stick prices 👍👍
@

@grahamhill9172last year Own 4k firestick and firecube 2nd gen. Have set up many sticks most recently the 4k max HD which was £38.99 in a sale. I've never purchased full price as like you mention they're frequently on sale. Everything is going up in price nowadays so why not amazon devices. Shop smart and you'll be fine. ... 3
@

@PezPerrylast year Glad someone has done a video on this. I’ve noticed how much the price is creeping up. In fact, the whole Amazon streaming thing is not what it was. Costs going up. Sneaking in adverts. I’m thinking about ditching prime altogether. So yeah, more info on other non Amazon products appreciated. Good video, hope you’re well. ... 10
@

@jasondessenberg6096last year I purchased two Firestick Max 4K at different times like months apart. One of them turned out to be an old Firestick 4K whenI finally installed. Both had the newer remote and not sure what happened. 2
@

@AndreGuerrierilast year The last Amazon Firestick I bought was the 4k. I just purchased the new onn 4k with Google TV for $19.88!! I love the device and it will replace my older non 4k Firesticks. 1
@

@keithblacknell957last year Would love to see more content other than Amazon stuff. With the RK3588 now on the market, I think there is going to be some interesting devices that might even push the Nvidia Shield 6
@

@carlreddevil7135last year Nice one mate , love your content. I've got the 4 k max.
@

@paulhill1379last year Cheers Free Tech for the info I use a Fire TV Cube and a Fire TV stick 4k got them when the price went down.🍻
@

@baitykris1last year I mainly use fire sticks, but I have Google TV and several Roku devices. It looks like the fire stick pricing hasn't changed in the US and they are all on sale/offer right now. 4
@

@sniper666hell11 months ago Normally the 4K is $44.99 US but it goes on sale for $24.99 - $29.99 every couple of months. Current price hike in the UK is because of part shortages and I heard the shipping strike affected it as well.
@

@shezbrook1720last year You are correct a lot of Amazon prices have shot up and the third party sellers they us to deliver a lot of there items free if you are a prime members now 50% of them Amazon charges you and deliver has gone from one day delivery to two days or they say that it will be delivered the next day and don't deliver it until two days later really bad 😞 ... 2
@

@biggeorgeforemanlast year They all went up in price about 4/5 weeks ago. I grabbed a few of each 4k and max when on sale. 1
@

@gavbridges8687last year I'm finding better value off the Chromecast right now, dropping down to £25 very often and the fact you can pretty much clear ALL Apps off the device doesn't half help it
And of course batting all the horrendous Amazon Bloatware away (not even mentioning the Stealth updates, shudder.....) ... 5
@

@tombanigan2138last year I own one Fire TV cube and several Firesticks, bought them all whenever they go on sale. I check the prices regularly so always know what the prices are and were 👍

@Morrell.last year Our house has 3 cubes different generations and 3 sticks which is also different versions. Most were purchased on sales and prime days. 🙂 2

@cammy2100last year Glad I got all of mine cube,4k sticks when the price's were lower. The question is are they still great vfm?.

@thedarkknight19716 months ago Me and a friend thought about the Firesticks... But, for multiple reasons, we went the 'Pure Android' route, Chromecast with Google TV - £45(New) each -eBay

@davidaustin781411 months ago I got a fire tv 4k max for £38 last week on Amazon. I have 4 fire stick and will be cancelling my virgin tv package saving me over a £100 a month. Love your videos😊

Mainly got it to stream TV for my parents but currently trying to put launchers to make it really easy for them to use ... 1

@sodone466last year That was the first time I laughed at his joke. It is so painfully true. 3
@

@taxitrekkinglast year I've 4k firestick, a 2nd gen fire cube, and a Toshiba fire tv. The built in fire device in the firet v, the storage is almost equal to that of the fire cube.
@

@antycher2011last year Have 4 firestick 4k always wait for the sales. But how much better is the max apart from the memory upgrade?
@

@stevegeorge5880last year Would love to see other content instead of Amazon, great channel keep it up
@

@dccavalierlast year Over past four years I’ve bought about 20. About 10 are still active on TV’s I use. I also have an Android TV and a ONN device. I have not paid more than $25 for any of them and only upgrade when on sale
@

@jamesanderson263811 months ago I usually buy a firestick 4K max when they go on sale, I have 2 myself, but if you buy them when they are on sale for $35, they make a great gift for family members that don’t have one, and I get the otg cable & a thumb drive for external storage. ...
@

@timwindsor03last year NVIDIA SHIELD ALL THE WAY. Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible day. Love ya bro 1
@

@brush3287last year I think I'm right in saying that the processor is the same across the whole stick range but not sure about the cube. My last Fire Stick 4K Max I bought toward the end of last year. I think it was part of a sale & in addition I got advised that I could return an existing SD stick that I bought about 2 years ago, for an extra 20% off.. In the end the new 4K Max cost me around £25 & free delivery with Prime. I think the main advantage with the Firestick is not the device but the Amazon store. About 18 months ago I bought the then new Chrome cast stick which was no longer just a casting device. Performance was better than the Fire stick but the Google store for Android/Google TV just was so weak in the number of apps, I've put it back in it's box & not used at all (eBay here it comes). Thanks for these sort of videos when it deals with non technical issues & yes I'm surprised the product has gone up so much. ...
@

@DeanoEssexlast year I set up my RCA Vinyl player to play through my Amazon Alexa today. I bought a £7.99 bluetooth receiver/transmitter and sent the signal to Alexa bluetooth via RCA. It's not the best sound but Alexa app has bass, treble and mid range settings. I like that i can use Alexa to control the volume :-). I know i was shocked too 🙂 But like i say not brilliant sound but i'm no longer a loud music man. I just like my retro stuff. 🙂 🙂 ... 1

@bipolarbeardgaminglast year You'll have to do a video on alternative devices. I always use a firestick because of the ease of use, but I'd love to know what's good and what's not 3
@

@kreigsr9789last year I have the Firestick 4K Max and an Android TV box. The A95X II, a really good box.
@

@pttmn-zm9bilast year I recall a couple of years back, Amazon employees were complaining about the horrific work environment in the warehouses and shite pay. Public outcry started, and Amazon suddenly ran a huge public campaign bragging about how they raised everyone's wages and gave or offered rather nice benefits. Someone has to pay for all of that, and that someone sure isn't Bezos; it's us. This, in my not-so-humble opinion, Is why so many prices have gone up. I bought a few of the Alexia "smart" sockets to control lamps and such on offer at 5.99 USD ... they are now a "limited time deal" at 19.99 USD on offer from the retail price of 24.99 USD. ...

@DJStanSteellast year Just bought a 4K max last week. £38.00 .. checked today.. over £60 now! WTF! 2

@MakeitZUPERlast year Hi, All your presentations are great. I look forward to them all. I really like your contagious laughter. The thick accent that I perceive as an American is wicked awesome. Yeah, I said it, lol.
I have a question for you though. I'm considering getting an assortment of different streaming devices and connect them all through an HDMI switch (selectable 4 into 1). I was going to power the streaming devices all with a USB charging block combination data switch with 7 ports. Each one has its own power switch to control which one I want to use. Next to each streaming USB port I was going to install a memory stick to swap the data into. I was thinking that by powering up a streamer and stick at the same time, It would work well and I wouldn't need to unplug very often.
This is all because of another youtuber called UGT. He did a video of someone he's familiar with that posted 250 legit streaming services and what firesticks they work with on his website. So my thought is that I might find enough streaming sites that will require lots of storage and I don't want to keep swapping out devices so the 4 into one HDMI switch can control the choice of device but the USB switch can link it to the memory stick. I will probably start out with Roku 4K and the Firestick 4K for now and choose another if there's anything that I can't install on either/both of them. ...
@

@ComputerGuyAndylast year I've got a dozen assorted Amazon products: sticks, echo, echo show and I have The Nvidia Shield. I didn't notice the price because I always keep two in reserve I bought them when they were $29.99 and that's all I pay attention to. If I use one, I'll wait for another great deal, before restocking.. 😉 ...

@MegaScarface1980last year Also bought a jvc android TV and was very surprised as I was able to load my iptv app straight on to it via downloader
@

@alekz1958last year I’ve also noticed that sometimes when the firestick goes on sale the unit does NOT incl the power pack so it is actually not cheaper

No other streaming device is as dynamic as the CUBE.
You'd be framed to buy another 😁!

@davidevans_0244last year I was going to buy a fire stick for spare room but ended up going with roku as it was half the price and did what I needed
@

@simondaly568last year Great videos. Use Nvidia Shield as it is easier to customise, better video, gaming, more RAM. Firestick is great if you want to upgrade an old tv or prepared to put time in to get best out of it.

@dino575last year Roku is great used the Roku soundbar the past 2 years. Very clean interface 100s of channels and apps - im in the UK and tons of UK facing content. I would like to see some videos on Roku as many do use it.

@RealBillPlast year Hey Adam! I would have responded sooner but I just got the notice about this video! (1 week late!) This video must have had to swim to the USA!😂
I have 2 firestick 4k

3-10" tablets

You are correct! The prices are jumping like kangaroos!
I only buy when the stuff is on sale, and this ain't sale time for sure!
Thanks for the video!
By the way, I just picked up a couple of the newest ONN boxes at Wally World for less than 20 bucks 🇺🇸 US! They are OK and the grandkids can have fun with them! ...

@andywilkins1959last year I have three Fire sticks, two 4k and one HD. I no longer use any of them as over the years the user interface has become crap. I now use Chromecast with Google TV sticks.

@

@OneStepToday11 months ago Thats right, Im from India and thats what the price is in Indian currency. I regret not buying last year when the Fire tv was literally half the price, 1500 RS. But I wasnt using a wifi back then and had no idea about the benefits of internet TV and smart tv. I have to buy it for 4000 Rs now, it's worth it, as I will save that money by cutting the Dish TV, and the monthly bill will be only for the Wifi. It is worth it even if it was more expensive coz imagine the comparison with Smart TVs or compare with the Airtel Xtreme box which requires separate monthly recharge and they dont update their software and may have already blocked all third party apps, so the Fire tv is really a big deal. I dont go for 4K coz it's a scam really, we can hardly tell the difference between 720 and 1080p, and that too for 50inch and above sizes of screens. Don't waste your money on 4K 8K, or even full HD. Spread awareness. Mind you it is still 20% discount consistently, as the original Price is 5000RS. So, I am not gonna wait for the sale which happens at the end of year from October. It is consistently on 20% discount. ...
