I just saw this on cnet.com. If you're thinking about buying the Amazon Echo Show 8 from Amazon for the $99 Black Friday deal, you may want to wait til Cyber Monday.
I was going to bite the bullet when the $99 deal was posted on here and even did my trade-in but wondered about Cyber Monday since a lot of companies do their best electronic deals on Cyber Monday.
I even went as far as to contact Amazon through chat asking if they would price match Best Buy's $80 BF deal. They escalated my request so at least they were informed and I'm sure others did the same as me by chatting with them.
This isn't written in stone but this is what was posted on cnet.com:
In fact, if you're thinking of buying a smart display for the holidays, the Show 8 might just be the best product for the price. Not only is it already discounted to $100 for Black Friday, but it will hit $80 for Amazon's Cyber Monday sale [aboutamazon.com].
FYI for those concerned about losing their 25% discount before Cyber Monday:
All anyone has to do is go to Amazon>Manage your trade-ins>Trade-in order#> & click under Trade-in order# to see your expiration date on your discount. If you're in the right place you will see your date. It will show a pic of your device.
I did my trade-in when the $99 deal first came out and my discount does NOT expire until February 29, 2020.
I'm waiting until Cyber Monday!!

This question is important
I mostly use them to see the time, set timers, listen to music, and make voice calls , or say OPEN YOUTUBE, or OPEN SILK and I have created lots of bookmarks to my favorite websites, and made the FONT size big. I use the shutter on the camera for privacy.
Now I did pick these Show 5's on prime day and Best Buy sales for about 35 dollars a piece. I have 2 more in boxes on shelf, that I might gift or put in kitchen, etc.
Do I want bigger size, I'm sure some of us are trying to decide NOW, since the Show 8 came out. It will not have any NEW features and will be bigger size, ... I have watched YouTube Video on the Show 8 tday ...that just came out and I was not blown away.
What do you guys think that have both the Show 5 and are thinking of picking up Show 8? What is your decision making process? I'm thinking of waiting until July Prime Day to see if it is discounted to 50 dollars (since the Show 5 was discounted for 35 dollars for me). Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Never mind. It won't even let me cancel my order, which I ordered twenty minutes ago, lol
My order won't ship until Dec3 so I can still cancel. I believe you can too
That's weird. Mine is arriving this Friday.
