JANUARY SALES 2019 - Unearthing The Special Offers Across All UK Roku Retailers - ROKU UK BARGAIN #01




Hi, everyone !!



Just thought I'd share details of a special offer on the Roku Streaming Stick+ (Streaming Stick Plus) [Model: 3810EU] which I came across during my regular price-checks from UK Roku Resellers. As of the time of writing, it's only Currys and PC World who have this deal... which is, in so far as I am aware, the lowest price (currently) available for purchasing this item brand new. Unfortunately, it is not available for delivery from either retailer but you can still order it online for collection in store and, if you have a branch nearby, many of their retail outlets will have them in stock and on display.

Unsurprisingly, priced at only £49.99 from Currys and price-matched at £49.99 by PC World stores, the 4K-capable Roku Streaming Stick+ (Streaming Stick Plus) [Model: 3810EU] represents a terrific saving when compared to the original selling price of £79.99 and a further reduction of ten pounds on the previous special offer of £59.99 during the festive period towards the end of last year. While this may not be the absolute lowest price at which this device has been available since it first launched, it is still a superb bargain that's well worth considering for all the additional features (not to mention the thousands of extra streaming apps and services) which are available versus the other 4K options that are out there at the moment - including the bargain basement 'NOW TV' offering which, like all of the NowTV-branded streaming products is restricted to a choice of just forty-five apps (FYI: that is actually five streaming apps less than the first (white) NOW TV Box had when it launched in 2013!).


If you're considering an 'HD-only' streaming device, Roku has that covered for you, too... better yet, it's (currently) available for less than half the cost of their 4K-capable flagship model. According to my research, the best deal on their Roku Express [Model: 3900EU] comes courtesy of Tesco stores... who are asking only £24.00 at Tesco supermarkets nationwide for this entry-level streaming device. For those who don't have access to this retailer, or would prefer to shop elsewhere, it won't cost you too much more from certain other UK Roku retailers... with the Roku Express only £24.99 at Currys, as well as being price-matched at £24.99 through the Very Network and you will even find this model available at the same low price of £24.99 from Media Streaming Market online. Lastly, for just one penny more, you will find the Roku Express [Model: 3900EU] is only £25.00 from UK Asda stores who also have the second lowest offer on the flagship Roku Streaming Stick+ [Model: 3810EU] that is priced at a very reasonable £55.00 from Asda supermarkets nationwide. While this might be five pounds more than Currys are asking right now, it is also five pounds less than many other retailers. This, while not the lowest price, I thought was still worthy of a special mention... especially given how the 'Where To Buy' webpage on the "Official" Roku UK website does not even provide a link to this product on the 'Asda' website and, consequently, many UK shoppers and would-be purchasers of Roku devices in the UK may not even have been aware that this was an option. Then again, since 'Costco' no longer appear to stock Roku products in the UK - returning a "Product Not Found" error message when I tried searching their website - and, likewise, 'Sainsburys' say "Product not available" on the pages of both (current) UK Roku models... it seems that Roku don't appear to be keeping an eye on what their recommended Roku UK retail partners are offering. Luckily for you, I still am! ;-)


Should any other special offers come along, throughout the course of the January Sales for 2019, you can expect similar posts to appear on this blog as and when I find them... so, to avoid missing-out on any UK Roku bargains, be sure to bookmark my blog and visit regularly throughout the month if you wish to keep on top of any Roku UK deals that might be happening. Other than that, you can expect my usual 'Weekly RoundUp' posts to continue every weekend but I may (time-permitting) throw-in the odd extra article if anything exciting comes our way (in terms of Roku-related news) from 'CES' (i.e. the Consumer Electronics Show) taking place in Las Vegas over the course of next week! ;-) :-D



Until the next time, then...



That's all folks !!
