Amazon at this point is doing everything to get people to buy its Fire Phone short of knocking on their doors, handing them a gadget, and paying them a few bucks to take it.
The company has just sliced $250 off the price of an unlocked phone, meaning you can now get one for just $199. The price reduction was spotted by Recode.
That’s a pretty big drop from the original unlocked price of $649.
And if you act now, you don’t get a set of steak knives, but you do still get a free year of Amazon Prime, with the free shipping, video streaming, and other assorted goodies. Typically, a year of Amazon Prime costs $99.
Back in September, the company slashed the price of the phone to 99 cents for people who signed a two-year contract with AT&T.
The latest reduction comes after Amazon posted a $170 million charge in its last earnings for unsold Fire Phones.
UPDATE: Amazon said the $199 price is a limited time offer, available just through Cyber Monday.
