With the exception of its short-lived smartphone, Amazon’s Fire-branded devices are wildly popular — and for good reason. Fire tablets and home entertainment devices offer a wide range of features that are extremely competitive with rival offerings, but the prices are typically far more affordable. A perfect example is Amazon’s All-New Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote. This streaming media player connects to any TV and does everything a Roku or Apple TV can do, but it somehow only costs $39.99.

The next-gen Fire TV Stick will be released on Thursday, October 20, and if you preorder it right now it’ll be on your doorstep the very same day it’s released.

Some key features:

  • The next generation of our bestselling Fire TV Stick. The most powerful with the fastest Wi-Fi and most accurate voice search of any streaming media stick-now with the Alexa Voice Remote.
  • Enjoy over 7,000 apps, games, and Alexa skills including Netflix, Hulu, HBO NOW, YouTube, Amazon Video, NBC, WatchESPN, Disney, and more. Subscription fees may apply.
  • Launch and control content with the included Alexa Voice Remote. Simply say, “Play Game of Thrones” or “Launch Netflix” and Alexa will respond instantly. Plus, play music, find movie show times, order a pizza, and more-just ask.
  • No cable or satellite? No problem. Watch the best of live TV and sports from AMC, HGTV, ESPN, FOX, and others with a subscription to Sling TV, or top-rated primetime shows with CBS All Access.
  • Find the best way to watch with universal search results from over 90 channels and apps including Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Video
  • Prime members get unlimited access to Prime Video, featuring thousands of movies and TV episodes at no additional cost. Plus, members can add over 70 premium and specialty channels like STARZ, and SHOWTIME-no cable or satellite subscription necessary.
  • Pick up where you left off. Bring hit shows and movies with you when you travel. Plug Fire TV Stick into any TV’s HDMI port, connect to Wi-Fi, and continue watching.

The All-New Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote is going to be a very popular item this holiday season, so get your hands on one now.
