This story is part of Holiday Gift Guide 2019, your source for the season's best gifts and deals, hand-picked by the experts at CNET. I don't know whether to be happy with Amazon or angry. See, I've been eyeballing the Echo Show 8 smart display since it was announced back in September. Of course, I wasn't about to pay the $130 list price, not when Black Friday sales were just around the corner. And, sure enough, the Echo Show 8 dipped to $100 ahead of Black Friday, then went as low as $80 until just a couple days ago. (As of yesterday, it was back up to $100.)And, now, this: For a limited time, and while supplies last, you can get the Echo Show 8 and a 3rd-generation Echo Dot smart speaker for $79.99. You can choose from any of the four available Dot colors, but note that Amazon currently shows an in-stock date of Dec. 20. So you should receive these in time for Christmas, but there's always a chance you might not.See it at AmazonSo, basically, this is a return to Black Friday pricing … [Read more...] about Shut up and take my money, Amazon: Echo Show 8 + Echo Dot for $80

Andrew Martonik 25 Sep 2019 9 We're on hand in Seattle at Amazon HQ, where Amazon just dropped a season's worth of new hardware on us. There are new Amazon Echo speakers. A new Echo Show. New routers from Eero. New cameras from Ring. A cool little Alexa thing that will be great in the bathroom. Oh, and Amazon's getting experimental on us with a new "Day 1 Edition" line — products that are feature-complete and fully baked, but maybe just not quite ready for mass audiences yet.

Received a condom instead of a Nintendo Switch this Black Friday? Amazon says sorry
There were also books, batteries, and a tambourine. Muhammad Jarir Kanji 6 Dec 2019 0 Source: AmazonWhat you need to know Amazon customers who bought a Nintendo Switch on Black Friday were in for a rude surprise this week. Instead of their console, some customers report receiving an assortment of items, such as condoms, batteries, and books. A tambourine also made the cut.
