AMAZON has kick-started its Black Friday sale early with some huge savings on the popular Fire Stick. And less than a month after launching, the newest Fire Stick is currently better than half

So, while it's currently on sale on Amazon for $20 -- half off its regular price of $40 -- I highly recommend skipping the 4K Select for now until Amazon improves Vega OS. Right now, to me, Vega OS feels more like an experiment than a finished product.

As of Nov. 17, the Amazon Fire Stick 4K Plus is on sale for $24.99, its best-ever price. This is exactly the kind of Black Friday deal we had hoped to see, so even a few days early, Amazon is meeting expectations.

But even if you don’t want to spend any more on streaming subs, the Fire TV Stick actually has quite a bit of free stuff built in. Apps like Freevee, Tubi, Pluto TV, and a ton of Fire TV’s own free channels give you a surprising amount of movies and TV show episodes to just kick back and watch.
