Roku Streaming Stick is a no-brainer at just $40 at Best Buy for Black Friday

The infamous shopping holiday is a few weeks away, but bargain hunters can already take advantage of offers as Black Friday deals have already started. Retailers have been rolling out discounts in an attempt to lure customers, such as this year’s Best Buy Black Friday deals covering practically everything from wide-screen TVs to streaming devices. If you are looking to convert your traditional TV into a smart TV, one of these deals is for the Roku Streaming Stick, which is being sold for only $40, down $10 from its original price of $50.

The Roku streaming media players aim to provide a very simple way to access streaming video and audio content on TVs, and the Roku Streaming Stick is no exception. Its plug-and-play interface only requires you to plug the device into your TV’s HDMI port and connect it to the internet.

Once the Roku Streaming Stick is set up, you can access a range of streaming services of up to 1080p HD picture quality on your TV, including Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. A separate subscription is required to access the content of these services, but the Roku Streaming Stick provides a single interface from which you can access all your favorite content.

The Roku Streaming Stick also comes with a voice remote that recognizes voice commands for searching channels, turning on captions, adjusting volume, and more. You may also use the Roku app as your remote control, with the app also enabling private listening so only you’d be able to hear what you’re watching.

If you want a smart TV without letting go of your traditional TV, the Roku Streaming Stick is the affordable answer to your problem. It’s easy to set up, but it gives you access to a massive amount of content that will breathe new life into your non-smart TV. You can purchase the Roku Streaming Stick for only $40 from Best Buy, a $10 discount from its original price of $50. With the volume of remaining stock unclear and Best Buy’s guarantee that it will refund the difference if prices are further lowered come Black Friday, there’s no reason to delay clicking on that Buy Now button.

Save up to $550 on the Velotric Discover e-bikes for Black Friday

We're not even to the official Black Friday yet and already I'm feeling the deals fatigue. If I'm going to get around these next couple of weeks I'll need something that does all the work. Something like, you guessed it, an e-bike. Enter Velotric with its excellent selection of e-bikes, which tend to rate highly here amongst my colleagues. The Velotric Discover 2, for example, received high marks -- 4.5 stars. But while we do love a good product or two here at Digital Trends, we also love us some great deals and discounts. That's why we couldn't pass up the opportunity to share these Velotric on the Discover 1 Plus and Discover 2.

As you'd expect, the Dell Canada Black Friday deals are now live and these are some of the lowest prices of the year. But there's a twist or two in store. First, many of the deals available are limited-quantity deals which means once they sell out, that's it, they're sold out. Second, there are a wide variety of products on sale, from AI-ready PCs to laptops, monitors, accessories, and more. And finally,  Dell Members can earn double the rewards on purchases up until November 27. Dell Rewards, if you're not familiar with it, allows you to earn 3% back on purchases, normally, and get free expedited delivery. Either way, now's your chance to save up to $700 on AI-ready PCs and more, don't miss out.

 
What to shop in these Dell Canada Black Friday deals
You get easily distracted by huge sales like this if you're anything like me. There are just so many great prices, so many different options, and too many choices. I believe they call that choice paralysis. At any rate, it helps to have someone else pick out a few interesting or top deals, so that's precisely what I'm going to do.
