Clarkson, Hammond and May sign with Amazon Prime for new car show

Does Prime have 4K content? If so I might be tempted, if not I will probably give it a miss.

 

[spoffle]

Well explained

What?

 

[chanjy]

Would you care to explain why me referring to people watching any new series without paying for Amazon prime as stealing deserves a facepalm?

 

[Type_R]

Joined Prime earlier this year...have never looked back!

To be fair I do buy a lot of stuff from there.

More for my money...excellent!

Also made my money back when they price matched a 4k monitor 2 weeks after I got it...£65 saved

 

[atpbx]

No, not paying for Prime.
I have not used amazon for anything in nearly two years.

 

[JonnyGeee]

Don't use amazon a lot, don't need to spend another 79 quid a year on top of TV license just to watch top gear.

Such a shame it's not on normal TV.

 

[cheesyboy]

Good news that it's not on ITV.

Probably will subscribe to Prime now. Was considering it anyway as, boringly, I can save about £1/week on nappies for our youngest as a Prime member compared with the supermarkets

 

[Sagalout]

I currently subscribe to Netflix, NowTV and Prime (for the postage mainly - only watched Vikings on it). Probably watch NowTV the most and will drop Netflix.

Great coup for Amazon

 

[Gambisk]

Well this is the push I needed, I'm ditching the TV license, Virgin TV when I move house in the next month or two. I'll probably drop Netflix and Google music and put all my eggs in the amazon basket. Video & music streaming plus better shipping looks like a great bargain for all of £80 a year.

Is that really a deal breaker for you?

 

[Jono8]

However, all that seems to be happening is they spread the same content between an ever increasing number of subscription services.

Indeed. It's crap.

 

[agnes]

I'll continue to source elsewhere, no ads, 5 mins to download, full HD. Done.

Free as well.

Sky is going in November, not renewing. It's an absolute waste of money. £100 a month I could spend much more wisely elsewhere.

Guessing he's bought a 4k TV and then realised only Netflix hosts any sort of premium 4k content.

Sure, no way am I paying £79 just for Top gear.

Guessing he's bought a 4k TV and then realised only Netflix hosts any sort of premium 4k content.

I bought a 4K TV for gaming and don't even subscribe to Netflix, I knew Netflix was the only 4k provider before I purchased my set a year ago but read that Prime was going to have 4k content at some point too but did not look into it after that.

I wasn't born yesterday.

 

[JonnyGeee]

Netflix 4k isn't actually 4k though.

 

[Yaayuh!]

I have Sky and Netflix, I'm sure as hell not subscribing to Prime as well.
I hate exclusivity deals.

Because it isn't stealing? Calling it stealing is an attempt to emotionally charge it.

 

[spoffle]

Basically Aspergic pedants kick off when people say copyright infringement's stealing, etc.

Yeah, no. It's simply a fact, next you'll be claiming anything illegal is criminal and dishing out insults to anyone who points out that it isn't.

 

[nutcase]

Oh well, I'll just have to be satisfied with the Dave reruns. Can't see me wanting to stump up for that.

Of course it's stealing. It's the digital equivalent of walking into WHS Smith, picking up a DVD and walking out with it without paying!

If it's not stealing, what is it?
