Amazon prime films

Hi,


Am I just missing something here or is the selection of films on prime video just really really poor? The TV shows don't look much better?


Anyone know if you can cancel the £59 special offer same as with the 30 day free trial?


Bit disappointed :-(

    Sorry don't know - ask Amazon. Prime's main benefit (stating the obvious) is next day delivery on anything (no stupid £20 free post limit). (Subject to availability of products under Prime.)

    If you've only just signed up I'm sure given Amazon's customer service they would let you cancel. I'd do it immediately though and not wait... either that or just accept you've signed up for the free delivery and any video/music streaming is just an extra.
  • I trialled Prime and thought the same about the films and TV.
    Used it for some free delivery etc then cancelled.
  • I personally think that Amazon Prime is really good value, you now get the films and TV, free next day delivery, Kindle lending library and Amazon music. I pay the £79 and I'm still very happy with what you get for the money.
  • decided to let it run so can have cheap delivery for a year, watch as many films, top gear and music as poss then drop em next year. going to stick with nowtv.

    If you are after films etc just put Kodi on your device whether android (Fire Tv, Fire Stick, phone), PC or Mac, or even on a Raspberry Pi 2.
    For example you can sideload Kodi on to a Amazon Fire stick without affecting the other software on the device and have access to films, and live TV. Kodi is not very well known and Amazon would prefer you paid for and used their prime video service.
