Updated December 2, 2024: We’ve added the latest streaming-player deals. Cyber Monday is a prime time to upgrade your streaming setup — Amazon and Roku are already offering strong discounts, and we’re watching for offers on Apple TV 4K, Nvidia Shield, and Google’s Chromecast lineup (including the newer Google TV model). We’ll update this summary as more deals go live.
Standout Amazon Fire TV deals
– Amazon Fire TV Stick HD — $17.99 (49% off)
– Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K — $21.99 (56% off)
– Amazon Fire TV Cube (3rd gen) — $99.99 (29% off)
Both new Fire TV Stick HD and Stick 4K were released only weeks ago but are already deeply discounted. The Fire TV Cube (3rd gen) remains a top choice if you want hands-free Alexa control and the ability to issue voice commands to a cable box.
Top Roku discounts
– Roku Express 4K+ — $24 (40% off)
– Roku Streaming Stick 4K — $29 (42% off)
– Roku Ultra LT — $57 (19% off)
– Roku Ultra (2024) — $79 (21% off)
– Roku Streambar SE — $69 (31% off)
The Roku Express 4K+ at $24 represents excellent value, while the Streaming Stick 4K adds Dolby Vision for only a few dollars more. The 2024 Roku Ultra includes a backlit remote and better features at a discount; the Ultra LT is a cost-cutting model that drops a few extras (like a USB port) to lower the price. The Streambar SE pairs a compact soundbar with a built-in Roku player — a good pick for small rooms.
Note on Roku’s cheapest models: some of the lowest-cost players (Roku LE and old Roku Express models) are underpowered relative to modern streaming needs. Spending a bit more delivers a noticeably better experience.
What to expect for Black Friday/Cyber Monday streaming deals
1) When are Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
– Black Friday falls the day after Thanksgiving (November 29, 2024). Cyber Monday is the following Monday (December 2, 2024). Sales often start early and run through the weekend into Cyber Monday.
2) Will streaming players be discounted?
– Yes. Amazon and Roku usually lead with the deepest discounts. Google’s Chromecast family often sees price cuts; discounts on Apple TV 4K and Nvidia Shield show up less frequently but do appear occasionally.
3) Do you need Amazon Prime to get deals?
– Most Black Friday/Cyber Monday prices on Amazon are available to everyone. Prime isn’t required to purchase discounted items, though Prime does give shipping perks and some lightning deals are Prime-only — Amazon notes when a deal is restricted.
4) Will other retailers match these deals?
– Yes. Retailers such as Best Buy, Target, Walmart and others typically run competing promotions during the holiday shopping period.
