Greetings everyone, JB currently have the newly released Amazon Echo Show 8 on promotion for 2 for $199 ($99.50 each).

This is $15 cheaper than the pre-order price per item, and $130 cheaper than the RRP :)

Showing as Awaiting Stock on the listing but it seems like there's some stock near Melbourne available for pickup.

Seems like this might be a site glitch marked the same promo as the Echo Show 5, but worth a try.

Introducing Echo Show 8 - HD 8" smart display with Alexa

  • With an 8” HD screen and stereo sound, Alexa can help manage your day at a glance
  • Ask Alexa to show you movie trailers, TV shows, movies, sports streams or the news
  • Call friends and family who have the Alexa app or an Echo device with a screen

As always, enjoy!

    Won't let me proceed to payment. I'm in Brisbane though.

      I can in Melbourne. But I don't want any of them.

  • louud on 26/02/2020 - 02:23

    yea not letting me either

  • Pedg13 on 26/02/2020 - 02:59

    Ordered, just had to get it delivered.

  • alvian on 26/02/2020 - 03:34

    Received automated order confirmation for delivery. Let's see if JB honours the deal.

  • chrism238 on 26/02/2020 - 05:56

    Will be pissed if this is not a pricing error, particularly as my Amazon pre-order delivery date has been pushed-back until mid-April.
    If Amazon's own stock is running dry due to COVID19, I doubt that JB could get very much.

    I pre-ordered 2 from Amazon at $114.50 each - 8% shopback and free delivery.
    That comes to $105.34. SUPPOSED to come Friday. Fingers crossed

    • anamul on 26/02/2020 - 06:48

      My delivery date got pushed back to mid April

    • cnut on 26/02/2020 - 07:41

      Mine says arriving today. 🤔

      The deal for 2 sounds good, but I still have 2 of the 5 inch models.

        Hi cnut, what is the best thing about the Echo Show in your experience?

        Sitting on the fence as to whether the screen is really that useful compared to just using dots for our use case.

        • cnut on 26/02/2020 - 07:55
          +4

          The things I’ve done so far:

          • Checking the weather and seeing an actual forecast shown for the week/day is useful compared to just the high/low she normally says
          • The morning alarm makes the screen slowly turn bright 10m before your alarm goes off. Sometimes I find this wakes me up before the alarm goes off which is nice.
          • I’ve used it to watch YouTube in bed without having to use my phone.
          • I’ve used it to also watch YouTube while I was doing something on the PC. Like a guide for a game I was playing for example.
          • My girlfriend used it for recipes once or twice in the kitchen.
          • With wifi bulbs, you can adjust the brightness with sliders on the screen (you can do it via voice too but sometimes the slider is nicer)

          To me it was a $115 tablet “replacement” that had Alexa built in.

          I’m sure they do more than that, but it’s mainly what I’ve been using mine for.

          • 0FoxGiven on 26/02/2020 - 11:03

            @cnut: How do you watch youtube? via the browser?

            • cnut on 26/02/2020 - 11:54

              @0FoxGiven: Yeah. Works well enough. News works well too via the ABC skill for instance with full video.

              • fookos on 26/02/2020 - 15:20

                @cnut: There are also skills to watch Seven’s Sunrise program and sports highlights on Fox Sports etc.

                You can also watch shows on Prime Video is you’re a member.

      • Transparent on 26/02/2020 - 09:12

        Funny, says release date if 26 Feb

    • itwasnotme on 26/02/2020 - 16:49

      I pre-ordered and got mine this morning. A day earlier than predicted.

  • OzLocutus on 26/02/2020 - 08:07

    Looks like it's just been removed…let's see if they honor it!

    • Astronaut Joe on 26/02/2020 - 09:00

      Interesting

      The Echo 5 now shows as 2 for $199, which implies the Echo 8 deal was a mistake.

      The Echo 8 has now disappeared from the website altogether, even for preorders. I wonder if they are having stock issues - as Amazom themselves seem to be having - so have removed it to save themselves grief.

    I'll pay 99.50 to anyone that wants to offload one (that got the JB deal) ?? Really wanted to get this.

  • Graffin on 26/02/2020 - 17:32

    I had one that was to be delivered tomorrow, but I cancelled it. It seems the clock face on the Show 8 is just as tiny as it is on the 10's.

    If you want to see the time from the other side of the room, you're better off with the Show 5 (even the old Echo Spot had a larger clock).

    It's disappointing that the Show 8/10 doesn't have a full display clock like the Show 5 (and Google/Nest Hubs do). Another thing that irks me is that you're almost forced to buy the massively overpriced stands for the Echo devices otherwise the camera (and display) angle is just at the wrong height.

  • Dex38313 on 26/02/2020 - 18:25

    Mine arriving tomorrow from amazon

    I got mine today from my pre-order. It's definitely big.

  • kampret on 27/02/2020 - 16:04

    Looking good. My "2x Amazon Echo Show 8 $199" order status now says Shipped.

    • louud on 27/02/2020 - 17:19

      Same here, got the email. Let's see.

  • 0FoxGiven on 28/02/2020 - 08:43

    I got mine delivered yesterday. Thanks OP

  • alvian on 04/03/2020 - 12:47

    JB delivered on the deal. The amount of packaging is insane.
