According to Hot Hardware, the set top box and 16 gigabyte Kindle Fire device are available for a packaged $249 on Sunday. Customers save $79 by buying the package. If consumers were to buy the products individually, they'd fork over a total retail cost of $328.
The Fire TV set top box offers consumers over 200,000 TV episodes across many online platforms. Inexpensive video rentals are also available, according to a statement released with the gadget on April 2.
The company's founder and CEO previously said consumers enjoy using the device.
"Tiny box, huge specs, tons of content, incredible price-people are going to love Fire TV," Jeff Bezos said. "Voice search that actually works means no more typing on an alphabet grid. Our exclusive new ASAP feature predicts the shows you'll want to watch and gets them ready to stream instantly. And our open approach gives you not just Amazon Instant Video and Prime Instant Video, but also Netflix, Hulu Plus, and more. On Fire TV you can watch Alpha House and House of Cards."
Amazon's vice president for the company's Kindle device said the the e-reader is one of the most complete products the online retailer has ever created.
"The new Fire tablets are the best tablets we've ever built. The reviews from press and the feedback from customers has been overwhelmingly positive," Neil Lindsay said in a company press release when it announced two Cyber Monday deals for the device Dec. 1. The Kindle Fire HDX 7 went for $179. This discount totaled more than 20 percent
The 16 gigabyte high definition kindle fire was $119. This was a 30 percent discount from its normal $169 price point. Consumers can read text electronically on the devices. Audio can now also accompany text.
