SAVE $226: You can request an invite to the Prime-members-only deal of a $149.99 Amazon Fire TV 50-inch Omni Series — that's 60% off its regular price of $375.99 and the TV's lowest price yet. Note that Amazon won't be able to grant all requests to access this exclusive deal.

Prime Day 2 is fast approaching. Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days will be happening next week, on Oct. 10 and Oct. 11. Prime members (including those of us cheating the system a little by taking advantage of the Prime free trial) can start the celebration a bit earlier — what with the invite-only deals Amazon has been rolling out lately. There are about 10 such deals on the site right now (though not all of them are made equal). A too-good-to-be-true (and yet true) Amazon Fire TV markdown is the latest invite-only deal to hit the scene.

As of October 5, the Amazon Fire TV 50-inch Omni Series 4K UHD smart TV is being offered to Prime members for only $149.99 instead of $375.99. This whopping 60% discount makes this TV's lowest price ever by leaps and bounds. Note that requesting an invite to this deal (which you can do by navigating to the invite-only item link and hitting that "Request invite" button) won't guarantee your access to it. Amazon has a super-secret way of choosing just who gets the perks; if you're one of the lucky "winners," you'll be notified of the fact and provided a link to shop the TV for $226 off on Oct. 10 - Oct. 11.

The Amazon Fire TV 50-inch Omni Series is quite a dreamy TV option. It boasts 4K Ultra HD quality, a crystal-clear and high contrast display, hands-free Alexa compatibility, and surround sound audio that will suddenly make trips to the movie theater unnecessary. Use this baby to play your favorite games (Prime members get the benefit of a wide selection of free games on Luna), stream over a million movies and TV episodes, and beyond. For your peace of mind, Amazon also put a "microphone off" switch on the Omni Series TV, so you never have to feel like your old pal Alexa is spying on you.

Click that shiny "Request invite" button and enter the unofficial lottery to snag this smart TV for its lowest price ever.
