Roku Clears Out Its Streaming Stick Plus 2025 at Nearly Free, While Amazon Fire TV Stick Stays Full Price Leave a comment

How old is the TV in your living room? Is it absent of any smart features and streaming apps? Or maybe it is a smart TV, but you’re just not a fan of that particular manufacturer’s user interface (I’m looking at you LG with your wannabe Wiimote motion controls). You don’t need to be locked down to whatever your TV was capable of just out of the box. Pick up a Roku streaming stick for basically nothing and now you’ve got an intuitive, reliable way to stream content and navigate the apps. Usually, you can find the 2025 Roku Streaming Stick Plus with 4K and HDR support for $40. However, right now Amazon is running a limited time deal that’s bringing its price down by 27% to just $29.
