If you’ve been thinking about nabbing a Google Chromecast—the simple, inexpensive way to stream web content on your TV from your computer—today’s the day to do it: Right now Amazon is running a bonus promotion where you can get the $29.99 dongle and pick up a $10 Amazon gift card for free. That’s basically like getting 33% off, and it’s not like you’ll have to look too hard to find something to spend that gift card on later.
If you don’t have a Roku or an AppleTV, this is a cheap alternative. This is also a great way to make yourself very popular with a kid heading off to college next month.
Dongle!? Not sure I want that to be entertaining my kid! ;-D
Shoot, it’s expired. I’ve been hoping to pick one up cheap. I have 3 Roku boxes in the house, but I’ve recently discovered the Pluto TV app and it is not available on Roku (it is available on Chromecast, Fire TV & Apple TV). So I don’t *need* another streaming device, but I’d like one if I can find a good deal like this that’s still valid.
