Anyone know any details?

7/6/2015 10:06:32 AM

besides the ones in that article?

7/6/2015 10:19:37 AM

Yes

7/6/2015 12:26:05 PM

what else could be known? maybe the exact items that will be on sale every 10 minutes? i doubt that's going to leak.

7/6/2015 1:04:03 PM

i heard that there will be new deals that start at midnight July 15, with additional deals popping up every 10 minutes. Unfortunately Amazon has yet to offer any sneak peeks on what products will earn discounts during Prime Day.

Straight from the amazon website. No leaks thus far, although I'm sure some will come soon enough.

Will Greece be for sale?

7/6/2015 2:05:08 PM

the amazon prime is too damn high

$99 my ass

7/6/2015 9:06:54 PM

cheaper if you use your .edu address. Also, you can share prime with a few people, so it's easily worth it.

7/6/2015 10:30:22 PM

Even at $100 it pays for itself in no time if you do a lot of online shopping.

And don't forget the video,music etc that comes with it.

We have prime. We definitely take advantage of the music. The movies are so so - no better or worse than netflix. But next day shipping for 4.99? And free 2 day shipping? Can't beat that. I don't have a Kindle so I can't take advantage of the book portion, but that seems like a deal too.

7/7/2015 8:34:40 AM

I am so excited about Prime Day!

And yeah the membership totes pays for itself if you do a lot of shopping. I love the pantry and the movies and music and all that jazz.

7/7/2015 2:16:00 PM

I, too, find my Prime membership worth every penny. Hoping that they'll continue to expand on their original programming too. Transparent was awesome.

7/8/2015 8:56:36 AM

^^Yes to all of that!

7/8/2015 12:48:21 PM

This is the probably the push over the edge that I needed to finally sign up for Prime.

7/8/2015 12:52:44 PM

Even if you were just to use the streaming and figure it's worth 8 or 9 bucks a month that alone pays for the membership. Then you get all the free music, the free shipping, subscription purchasing on frequently used items, their panty program, etc.

It saves me a ton of money to buy stuff on Amazon and have it shipped for free vs. buying things here in Hawaii. The cost of goods is so high here compared to Amazon it's a no brainer.

7/8/2015 4:06:41 PM

haha panty program

7/8/2015 6:01:25 PM

Gently used panties, shipped once a month.

Free Two Day Shipping

7/8/2015 6:39:35 PM

Subscribe and save!!!

7/8/2015 7:05:53 PM

Like i said, the savings and selection are incredible.

If you have an iPad (or maybe even a Samsung tablet or some other brand), there's a kindle app you can download and use your tablet as an e-reader if that's your thing.

7/13/2015 12:34:23 PM

Walmart is kinda missing part of the point. I don't think Amazon is doing this prime day to make money, or even really get a bunch of new subscribers. I'm sure that is part of it, but it is also a thank you to the current prime members.

And sure, you shouldn't have to pay $100/year to get great deals, but I'm not paying $100 to get good deals, I'm paying it to get free 2 day shipping, free music, movies, and other things.

And maybe Walmart doesn't want you to pay $100/year to get good deals, but they sure as hell want you to pay $50/year to get mediocre deals at Sam's Club.

7/13/2015 1:15:11 PM

I'd pay $100 a year to be able to find a walmart employee that was helpful and knowledgeable once a year.

7/13/2015 2:14:58 PM

Target's weekly ad this week was also "Black Friday in July". But I didn't see any good deals.

And I love this idea. It's a great way to get new members. But even without it, it's not like I don't make 1-2 amazon purchases a week. It's so much easier to take advantage of free shipping and better prices than if I tried to find something in person.

When I'm in Atlanta, the Amazon Now is even better. Shipment by 10pm on the day it was ordered. You really can't beat that.

7/13/2015 2:31:25 PM

This sale is dumb, Amazon trolled everyone

7/15/2015 6:14:28 AM

Yeah, pretty much everything I've seen so far is complete shit, and anything I would even begin to consider getting is already sold out.

7/15/2015 8:01:01 AM

yep, please to post here when you see a good deal because right now all i see is crap.

7/15/2015 8:07:23 AM

I guess the only thing I'd be interested in are the cheaper Kindles.

7/15/2015 8:20:42 AM

i can't believe i'm agreeing with dtownral, but

[Edited on July 15, 2015 at 9:37 AM. Reason : they do have $10 credit for buying gift card multipacks, so basically $10 free.]

7/15/2015 9:32:55 AM

It seems like as they are starting to put up some slightly better products, but still nothing that I've gone for

7/15/2015 9:41:27 AM

they had a $100 set of bluetooth buds for $27, but they sold out before I could get to it. only thing I've seen so far.

7/15/2015 9:46:32 AM

I'm happy. I just got a fantastic deal on amazon brand wipes and diaper genie refills.

7/15/2015 9:47:15 AM

is the diaper genie deal still live?

7/15/2015 9:54:04 AM

isn't that more of an amazon.com question?

7/15/2015 9:57:32 AM

so...eyeing for a laptop...preferably a macbook for the gf is way out of reach?

7/15/2015 9:57:53 AM

do you think I didn't look through the deals before I asked? the whole thing is so disjointed, you have to scroll dozens of times to see everything. easier to see if a guy has a link. but fuck me right? dick.

7/15/2015 10:09:09 AM

Wifey got a basic Kindle. Now we can get rid of this shitastic Nook.

I want the Samsung 50" 4k tv soo bad...but wife and I just put a massive downpayment for an architect for our home renovation. FML.

[Edited on July 15, 2015 at 10:29 AM. Reason : .]

7/15/2015 10:13:00 AM

I got "nursery fresh" diaper genie refills for 20% off. Still active. http://www.amazon.com/Nursery-Fresh-Refill-Diaper-Genie/dp/B00CXH2M2W/ref=sr_1_15?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1436971591&sr=1-15&keywords=diaper+pail

7/15/2015 10:55:04 AM

If anyone gets Greenies for their dog...they're a pretty good deal. Got a large bag for $17. Same bag at Petco is $32 and chewy.com has them for $23.

7/15/2015 11:07:33 AM

#HappyTrolledDay

Walmart actually has better deals

[Edited on July 15, 2015 at 11:25 AM. Reason : walmart]

7/15/2015 11:17:13 AM

There's a 270 diaper genie count deal that's about to go on in 30 minutes.

7/15/2015 11:27:43 AM

not better than #MayPac fight.

7/15/2015 11:30:06 AM

I tried getting the wipes deal (60% off) for my sister, and even though they were still "in stock" and I had applied the coupon code, no dice at checkout.

Everything else I tried for was "sold out" even though I clicked on it the second it was supposed to be available.

Bust.

7/15/2015 11:41:50 AM

i was going to buy a new tv for my mom, but so far I've only seen the 50" 4k tv

7/15/2015 11:44:48 AM

I just bought a few things that I was going to buy anyway...except for maybe the Kindle. But my wife has been wanting to destroy her Nook for a while now...that thing is garbage.

We always buy Greenies and we needed a new keyboard for our mobile devices. So it made sense.

7/15/2015 11:49:36 AM

Almost impulse bought an external battery pack, but I can't really think of many times that I would need it.

7/15/2015 11:55:56 AM

They're especially handy when travelling...or just when you forget to charge and have to go somewhere.

7/15/2015 11:57:18 AM

I'd get a paperwhite if it were on sale, but it isn't. I've got a nook with the light, and I don't think I could do an ereader now that doesn't light up.

7/15/2015 12:01:50 PM

lol diaper genie sold out in 3 mins

fuck it i'm out
