Devices like the Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV box are fantastic ways to make a wide range of streaming content available on your TV, but they're also pretty pricey. If you want an Apple TV you're spending at least $150, and Amazon's Fire TV starts at $90. Those are decent prices, but you can get a complete streaming experience for much less than that. Amazon's All-New Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote has now been released, offering a ton of features and even better performance for the same insanely low price.

Here's what you need to know:

  • 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.
