Rugster Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Anyone had a look at this so far? I think it's like a mini version of their "Black Friday" but for prime members only. Not much catching my eye so far but a few deals later on look like they might be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Div Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Going to have a look later. To be honest the £70 a year I spend on Prime is probably the best value for money I get on anything all year round. We get order stuff every other day from that place and absolutely rip the arse out of the free next day delivery. It probably saves me £50 a month on shipping fees. Then they throw in an ever improving movie service, music and now this. It's a total no-brainer, absolutely brilliant VFM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Prime a few years ago when it was much cheaper before they added Amazon TV to it and doubled (I think) the price and I cancelled. They offered me another free trial recently and I took it and same as you, I order stuff regular as clockwork and the next day delivery is absolutely superb. Not just the fact it's next day, but some of the bulkier stuff I order would cost a fortune in shipping fees normally. I don't really use the movies or music though, should really look into that more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 f**k all on TVs. Well decent sized ones anyway, disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Looks shite mostly although I did pick up The Revenant for £3.49 on Amazon video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky88 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 It's still important to shop around. Amazon might not always be the cheapest even with free delivery - the 70 quid a year delivery is a bit of a gimmick imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I've been thinking about getting rid of my Sky package altogether and just signing up to Amazon Prime, does anyone currently do this? I have Netflix at the moment and I'm wondering if having Sky is worth it all with the Champions League no longer on there and only really Super Sunday to look forward to (which year on year I get more bored of). I enjoy a lot of BBC shows but it seems you get iPlayer on Prime? I watch BT sport for football and UFC but I can get that online too. Sky Atlantic shows would probably be the only thing I'd miss.

I took Prime out purely for the next day delivery stuff. The TV, Films and Music stuff is just a wee bonus but I hardly ever use it whereas Netflix gets absolutely hammered in my house!

Virtual Insanity Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Yeah Prime movies are really pretty poor. Some decent TV stuff, the music I presume is good but I've got Spotify separately. Delivery is great or the free £1/£3 credit if you don't need it in a rush. Have bought plenty of stuff I don't need today but most of it is returnable.

Bought a 'dodgy' box off some guy I was put in contact with. Cost me £200 and its comes with sky and all the channels, box office etc also included. It updates itself and all that but I'm sure after the first year the subscription goes to £30 a year which is still better than what sky charge.

What are the authorities avenues for finding out that you've got one of these bad boys installed (aside from openly admitting you've got it on a public forum )?
