One of my favorite streaming sticks just got slashed to under $20 for Prime Day

Spooky season is finally here. It's time to bust out the treats and put on your favorite Halloween specials as the night of frights draws near. But, before then, you'll need a well-versed streaming stick with all the apps and free content capable of bringing the whole family together for those late-night thrills.

Right now, the Amazon Fire TV Stick HD is just $17 on Amazon. That's a huge discount, dropping one of Amazon's best sticks to its lowest price yet, offering you a brilliant TV upgrade for under $20. However, this deal won't last long, so you'd better act fast!

Amazon Fire TV Stick HD: was $34 now $17 at Amazon

The standard Fire TV Stick is no more. It's now the Fire TV Stick HD and at just $17 it's a bargain. If you don't have a 4K television, it's the ideal choice offering access to all your favorite streaming services and a voice-controlled remote. We'd still advise most people to opt for the 4K Max model, but if you don't have a 4K TV this is the streaming stick for you.

Fire TV is often overlooked in favor of Google or Roku as a TV ecosystem, but it has a lot going for it. All of these incredible features are built into the Fire TV Stick HD, which is the brand's best streaming device by a long shot.

On top of the slew of free content that's offered on Fire TV, the interface is robust enough to allow you tons of control in your everyday watch history. It's easy to dive back into your favorite content with ease, plus you'll find all the best streaming services laid out right when you turn on the device.

While it might not offer 4K visuals, the Streaming Stick HD is intended to be paired with older TVs to give them a major boost where it counts most: content curation. If that wasn't enough, it also gives you access to HDR10 and Dolby Atmos, which is a big win for cinephiles.

What Amazon's devices offer over major rivals is gaming on the go. With access to Luna, Xbox Game Pass, and GeForce Now, you can bring cloud gaming services with you wherever you travel. Fire TV devices are the only options for this, making the HD a gaming paradise.

Do note that a new Fire TV device was announced last week, so if you want the best possible specs, you'll have to wait for the Fire TV 4K Select to launch later this month. However, don't expect any major discounts on Amazon's newest streaming stick.
