Google takes on Amazon’s Prime Day with hot Home deal

It’s almost Prime Day, which means you should get your Amazon Prime affairs to make sure you can take advantage of Amazon’s special offers. And while nobody else is ready to match Amazon’s monster summer sale, some of its rivals have come up with a few pre-Prime Day offers of their own. Google, unsurprisingly, is one of them.
Among the many Prime Day deals coming your way, you’re going to see plenty of Echo sales, as Amazon is looking to deploy its Alexa assistant in as many homes as possible, now that competition in this particular business starts heating up. With that in mind, you shouldn’t be surprised to hear that Google’s exclusive deal includes a Google Home smart speaker, which is Google’s response to Amazon’s Echo.
Google paired its intelligent speaker with the basic Chromecast streaming stick, and the bundle costs $99.99 over on eBay — Google’s offer is available directly from its official eBay account.
Purchased separately, Google Home and Chromecast cost $129 and $35, which means you’re saving $64 on the two. Even if you don’t really need a virtual assistant in your life right now, this is a fantastic offer that could help out with that Christmas shopping list this year.
Recent promos on either product discounted the Home all the way down to $99, while the cheapest Chromecast is $25 at some shops. However, Google’s bundle still gets you a better discount on the two product.

Business as usual, then. This live blog is now concluded. 3.23:  And with that, I think I shall bid you adieu. It's been fun and I'll be back next week kitted out in a full direwolf costume, but only if enough of you write in (also, if enough of you send in direwolf costume parts). Things I'm hoping to see next week: direwolves (duh), Varys, Olenna Tyrell and Daenerys saying more than three words for the entire hour. I reckon I have fair demands. Anyway, for now it's goodnight for me. As a p...

More Retailers Hope to Take a Bite Out of Amazon Prime Day

Before you head to Amazon, open your browser and comparison shop WHAT TO KNOW Amazon isn't the only retailer offering deals on Amazon Prime Day, which runs from 9 p.m. on July 10 to the early hours of July 12. Keep multiple tabs open on your browser to compare prices and find the best deal. Some stores are offering discounts both online and in stores. Amazon's annual  Prime Day  kicks off Monday night, but the online superstore isn't the only retailer hoping to capture your business during a regularly sleepy month for retail. Stores such as Toys"R"Us, Target, Sur La Table and more are jumping on the bandwagon, hoping to take a swing at Amazon by staging their own versions of this summer twist on Black Friday, which for Amazon runs from 9 p.m. July 10 to the early hours of July 12.
