    Your title is very misleading, reads as $3/6 months, not $3*6 Months.

      Agreed. I signed up and did not get a free trail. I was hoping for a good one too, like somewhere around the Grand Canyon.

      Crap catalogue. Offline viewing is excellent.
      I had it as part of Prime. In the 12mths I had it, I couldn't find anything I wanted to watch.

        Clearly you haven't watched Goliath or the man in the high castle then! Two of the best shows I've watched in a long time. And now with the grand tour as well. But overall the Netflix catalogue is definitely better.

          The man in the high castle too - S02 starts this weekend

        • deadpoet on 15/12/2016 - 10:39

          People are saying The Man in the High Castle isn't available in Australia. Aussies get screwed again :(

          [edit] But other people are saying it's working for them? Weird…

        • B3 on 15/12/2016 - 18:48

          I just loaded up the Aus app on my tv and Goliath doesn't show up anywhere or in the search results.

      Aside from the poor selection of content, isn't the main problem that a lot of content, you only can watch a few episodes at a time, then they expire as new episodes come out? Like some iView shows?

      So you can't watch any of the series they do have unless you happen to catch the window of the first few eps are showing…?

      • dwhes on 15/12/2016 - 10:21

        I have not experienced that with any show. Think you are thinking of Hulu.

        • ItsMeAgro on 15/12/2016 - 10:55

          Ah, OK.

          Is Amazon the one where it's hard to find what's available to watch, then? The included shows are mixed in with ones you have to pay extra money to rent?

  • dasher86 on 14/12/2016 - 22:15

      So they show The Man in the High Castle on the AU website as one of the teasers for buying into Primevideo… but it's not actually available in Oz? Seriously weird. Bait n Switch at its um, prime.

      (As an aside I watched TMITHC through other means when it first came out… found it really dull after the first couple of eps. But that might just be me)

        It's not just you. I stopped watching after a few episodes as well.

      • Whatisthatvelvet on 15/12/2016 - 09:12

        Yeah the first couple of episodes were really good. But it gradually went down after that. Could have been so much more

    • uradox on 15/12/2016 - 00:07

      That show works for me. I only have SD as an option though, no HD :|

      Definitely worked for me on the Android App.

      It definitely is available. Probably an error on your end. Try clearing your cache?

    Can anyone post a list/screenshot of what's available please? Might have to binge on a trial when I have 7 days for full gluttony. :)

    I hate this model of doing things i.e you sign up without knowing what you're actually buying. Netflix started that way but at least had enough content to make it worth hanging in there. As we've seen re High Castle, you don't necessarily get what it says on the tin.

  • sirrobin on 14/12/2016 - 23:34

  • melmac77 on 15/12/2016 - 00:17

    Is the app available in the Australian store yet? Can you airplay to an apple tv? If you can is it offloaded correctly ie is the phone still usable while playing the video.

    • aidhan on 15/12/2016 - 02:02
      +1

      The app is available on the Australian store and there seems to be airplay capability but I have no idea about the offloading though.

      • NeonKitten on 15/12/2016 - 10:02
        +1

        AirPlay with The Grand Tour was absolutely horrible for me on an Apple TV 4. HD picture, sure, but it kept skipping frames, skipping audio, and the audio was about 5 seconds out of sync. I actually had to download the PS3 app to be able to watch on my TV without having my brain fried ;)

        • entropysbane on 26/12/2016 - 10:54

          Yes so appalling is the airplay ability I would think it deliberate on Amazon's part. Why it decided as a strategy to not do an separate Apple TV app is beyond me. I won't go beyond the trial.

  • swiggity swag on 15/12/2016 - 02:16

    Does this include 2 day shipping?

  • db1 on 15/12/2016 - 07:01

    Great deal, had not renewed my Amazon subscription, too much just for the video. If you use Getflix like I do then you can stream all the Amazon video content in a web browser.

  • wfdTamar on 15/12/2016 - 07:07

    Be warned, the quality of the streaming can be very variable. It seems a choice of Amazon as The Grand Tour looks fantastic, always in perfect quality, but some other shows deteriorate to blotchy sub,sub SD quality - almost like very bad CCTV.

    • snowcold on 15/12/2016 - 08:49

      • k3nnis on 15/12/2016 - 09:02

        Ok thanks. So no UHD for Xbox one S?

        • snowcold on 15/12/2016 - 09:26

          Don't think there is an app for that. I have updated the post with link to the supported devices page.

        • NeonKitten on 15/12/2016 - 10:04

          @snowcold: There actually is an Xbox One app (as well as apps for PS3 and PS4) but for whatever reason, Amazon has decided they're not going to support them in Australia. They can be gotten from the US app stores using the usual workarounds - though I'm not sure if they'll work with an Australian Prime account (I am on the US trial still, so can't test that).

        • francisdrake on 15/12/2016 - 16:58

          @NeonKitten:
          I can confirm that the Amazon Video app for PS4 as downloaded from the US PSN store works with an Australian Prime Video account.

  • damoo on 15/12/2016 - 08:18

    Do they have the new yorker content?

  • hen dawg on 15/12/2016 - 11:38

    • nickj on 16/12/2016 - 08:59
      +2

      Wow, that's pretty rubbish. A quick google showed that casting a chrome browser tab, or casting your Android device screen, were the suggested workarounds. Both are a hassle, and the quality is just not as good as native chromecast support (e.g. Lag), in my experience.

      I get that Amazon want everyone to buy a fire stick instead, but the clear lesson from the streaming video services is that to succeed you need a large library + excellent native apps for every viewing platform. Instead they've got a minuscule library + no chromecast support! I don't get it, struggling to see the deal here.

      • hen dawg on 16/12/2016 - 13:59

        Yea. Not interested in their offering if can't Chromecast. Plus Stan has some of their best originals anyway, Transparent and Mozart in the Jungle

  • Amaris on 15/12/2016 - 17:23

      You can use it in Australia but there is alot less content, stick with Getflix.
