Really, because I find the site frustrating for the posting of so many barely-literate opinions and garbage non-facts that could have been avoided with the most trivial research.
Chromecast Ultra is simply an otherwise-identical higher-resolution version of Chromecast and is an alternative if you need 4k, no more. If you don't have 4k you're spending more than three times the amount for absolutely nothing. Most people can't even use the feature yet. What you are saying is nonsensical.

The Firestick is a bit slow/laggy. I own these devices:
Firestick: Cons: Slow/Laggy/Wifi Only Pros: Has all the TV Catchup Services, ITV Hub, My5, ITV Hub, an actual interface unlike the Chromecast. Mobdro works reasonably well.
Chromecast: Cons: Wifi only/ No interface / Only Facilitates Streaming Pros: Simple
Nvidia TV Shield: Cons: Lack of software support e.g. all the catch-up TV services, Web browsing is a total nightmare and rubbish. Pros: Possibly the fastest Android device, it's so good you can't believe it's Android, excellent for retro gaming as well and Kodi. Modbro works almost flawlessly. Plex server works fantastically.
Droibox Ares: Cons: Supplied remote is a total and utter waste of time, some apps available such as some of the catchup TV services will crash or not load. Pros: Fast as it's using S905X (S912 is even faster but boxes cost more), it can do retro gaming, needs a decent touchpad keyboard to get the most out of it. This device is the best for web browsing, very fast, and the two finger scroll works a treat if you have a cheap touchpad keyboard controller. Modbro works really well, not tried Plex.
LG WebOS 2.x TV Cons: Built in Apps for Amazon and Plex are rubbish, Amazon app makes the Grand Tour look like it was filmed with a potato, Plex app crashes when searching most of the time. Pros: Convenient if you don't have any of the other devices I have I guess. The smart TV features are almost worthless unless I've taken one or more devices round to a mate's house and forgotten to take them back.
Out of all the devices I have the Chromecast is the weakest and the least used, all I used it for is streaming from my phone/tablet to little TV in the kitchen when I'm cooking.
Some people here will know that I dislike Kodi and that hasn't changed, if you want to run Kodi then obviously the Chromecast can't do that. If I had the simple choice of Firestick or Chromecast, Firestick wins everytime.

Good spot OP but will it drop further on Friday, that is, bagged it from Curry's for £15 previously.

Goooooood point that?.
£15 each was the price I bought 2 NOW TV Version 2 Boxes last Black Friday! (at a time when the standard/common price for the exact same thing was averaging at £25+ in the Shops! (+ in most other places too?).
So definitely worth baring all that in mind also ..... :-)

Been meaning to get one for a while. I'm thinking pick one up from Argos while they have them and if any better deals on Friday, could always return it if unopened

Blimey, you would genuinely go to the hassle of taking it back to store for the sake of 3 quid?

Why do you say £3 - people are saying they have got them for £5 cheaper before.. May even be cheaper than that on Black Friday as well. Also, like people have also said, why not take it back to the store if you are passing as there are Argos stores everywhere?!

how do you get the cash back. reading t&c's it appears to not be included for collection?
therefore if paying postage it will be an extra £4
or am I missing something?
thanks
