Dammit! I'm going to have to pay the £75 or whatever it is now lol

 

[Simon998]

That'll be another download then. Bollocks to paying £79 for Prime. I had the trial and half the content was asking me to pay a further fee to watch it.

 

[Lewis.]

Should have been netflix, il not bother with prime.

 

[Steve C]

Nope, not for me.

 

[Crow555]

Downloaded here as well. Amazon Prime isn't worth £79 a year. Netflix has much more content and can be pointed at the US version as well.

Amazon primes UK content is much much better than UK Netflix, their movie catalog is far more up to date..

..but for all those with access to Torrents i'm sure you will be able to download it for free anyway!

 

[Coog]

Amazon is grand. I'd watch Netflix more but now that Topgear (or whatever it will be called) is coming it'll be even more worth it. Hopefully they don't charge extra above the normal subscription fee.

 

[Crow555]

Based on our free trial, we didn't think so.

 

[PaulYDP]

Get Amazon Prime for free through work so happy days for me - have to agree though I rarely use it and most things I do find that I want to watch it asks me to pay for it!

Amazons new releases in the last week alone. They seem to have struck more deals with production companies than Netflix. Amazon also lets you access thousands of albums, and you get free first class delivery on any items ordered.

I have both Netflix and Amazon, and I much prefer Amazon.

Not bad, the films are only 2 years old lol.

71, Imitation Game and Paddington were all released last year

 

[Coog]

I'm sure those have been released for more than a week. We watched '71 at least a fortnight ago for sure.

We don't watch normal TV so it's either Netflix or Amazon. Netflix is much better but Amazon is only like a fiver a month, which is what I roughly spend on chewing gum or bottles of coke. It's hardly a huge outlay.

 

[Crow555]

I guess since we normally opt for TV boxsets over movies that may be where the differences lie.

 

[Ben]

Still cheaper than a TV Licence.

Indeed, we stopped ours a few months back, bought both Amazon and Netflix and haven't missed the TV at all!

 

[Phil_EK9]

Unless, the instant video trial is missing a lot of content it's terrible. Sure, they've got some decent TV shows and the odd good movie but it's not a patch on even UK Netflix (For me at least). Even the operation is better.

 

[Father Stack]

Thing is, you're not paying £79 for the instant video service. You're paying £79 for Amazon Prime. If you buy lots on Amazon it's definitely worth it.

I thought you still needed a TV licence if watching online TV services?

 

[Coog]

No you don't but you won't be able to view it through a normal TV without a license.

 

[KyleR]

How soon after broadcast do shows get uploaded to Prime and Netflix?

 

[Graham2]

Only required if you watch or record live TV.

We only watch on laptops, iPads and a big computer monitor! Never watch live TV anymore!

 

[Coog]

Topgear was pretty much the only thing I watched on normal TV tbh.
