Echo DotAmazonAmazon announced six new pieces of hardware yesterday, but they’re not done yet.

Now through October 8 you can get a Fire TV Stick and Echo Dot as a bundle for $59.99.

Since an Echo Dot normally costs $49.99 on its own, you can consider the Fire TV Stick to be a very inexpensive bonus.

The Echo Dot can do everything a full-sized Echo can (even the new one), in a very small package. It doesn’t have a strong speaker, but can connect to an external one through a cable or Bluetooth.

It might not have 4K and HDR support, but the Fire TV stick is a good budget media streamer that’s even better for Amazon Prime members. If you do subscribe to Prime, you’ll have instant access to your Amazon Video queue. Many media streamers can’t even access Amazon’s video content, so if you’re a fan of its exclusives, the Fire TV stick will suit you well.

Another benefit to having both of these devices is that each has access to Amazon’s smart voice assistant Alexa. The Echo Dot has microphones on it, and the Fire TV Stick is bundled with an Alexa-enabled remote, which lets you navigate its interface. Both let you interact with smart-home accessories, too.

If you’ve been looking for an inexpensive way to stream Netflix in your bedroom and start a smart home in your living room, this bundle is ideal. It’s easy to get lost in the rush to get the latest and greatest, but neither of these devices is truly outdated and they’re going to be useful for a long time.
