      chromecast wont work apparently, need the amazon fire stick

    • theguyrules on 19/06/2018 - 10:38

      Yes there is an Android TV app

    • greennick on 19/06/2018 - 16:10

      you need to have a TV/device that is compatible with the Amazon Prime app or an Amazon Fire. It does not work with Chromecast or any other non-Amazon casting, unless you use a screen cast, but they generally suck.

      This is the whole reason I cancelled prime video after trialling it earlier when it was half price.

      Another example of Amazon wanting to control more than they deserve at the expense of the consumer.

      • kulprit on 19/06/2018 - 16:28

        Will try and side load the Amazon TV app onto my Mi Box and hope it goes well.

    Using Prime in Amazon US, you get 20% off all pre-orders for video games. Do we get that here?

    • kulprit on 19/06/2018 - 09:27

      Not that I can see yet, but it would make me move over. I guess also, if you look on the Amazon US site, they charge full retail for games. While Amazon AU already have discounts (see Mario Tennis Aces)

      • leeson865 on 19/06/2018 - 09:28

        Good point. The 2 day delivery is pretty tempting though.

        • kulprit on 19/06/2018 - 09:29

          Release day delivery promised on pre-orders. I guess a small refund if it fails? Also could be in the arvo.
          At the moment I take the day off work for big releases and can pick the game up retail when they open.

  • kulprit on 19/06/2018 - 09:24

    Can you make a family account to share it? Or at least the video part?

    • aorusozbarg on 19/06/2018 - 12:37

      Yeah you can. Just link your account to your partners account. I believe you can watch two different videos on separate accounts, but can't watch the same thing on two different accounts.

    How do you get the $59/year? After 30 day trial, can I sign up for a year for $59? If I cant, wont the annual cost be ($4.99 x 5) + ($6.99 x 7)?

    • twocsies on 19/06/2018 - 10:28
      +1

      From the first paragraph of the relevant link above:

      At the end of the Amazon Prime free trial your card will be charged $59 for an annual membership or $6.99 per month with a monthly membership.

    • Teh White Mamba on 19/06/2018 - 10:35
      +1

      59 a year will most likely be the default renewal after 30 days that is what mine is set to. Go to "Your Account" and then manage prime.

    • Turd on 19/06/2018 - 10:36
      +2

      Go to your account then click the "Prime" box

      Then under Payment Options select the $59/ year one.

      You are automatically placed on the monthly $4.99 one after your trial.

      • Qmar on 19/06/2018 - 10:40

        Thanks!

    • Qmar on 19/06/2018 - 10:43

      It would seem the best way to do this is to get the $4.99 a month first till December then sign onto the annual membership?

      • Turd on 19/06/2018 - 10:52
        +1

        Yes

    • Shwayne on 19/06/2018 - 16:47

      For now it's $4.99 until the end of the year so there's no point switching to annual unless you're 100% sure you're going to stay subscribed (you save about 88c for the year changing to annual right now).

  • ironworthy on 19/06/2018 - 10:52

        Yep fingers crossed. I IMd them:

        Yes, in US it is included.
        Amazon prime photos is yet to launched in Australia.

    Looks like Amazon AU is finally getting into the real deal now. Looks like at least they are serious about the Australian market. These prices are extremely reasonable for Prime, but unfortunately the number of items are very limited.

  • mooreshady on 19/06/2018 - 11:35

    Is there expiry to this free trial?

    • crazyboy on 19/06/2018 - 11:38

    • boxall on 19/06/2018 - 11:57

    Seems good but I'm not going to be sinking my money into Amazon since they're blocking us from the US site (yes, I realize they say they'll allow access through the AU website but I'm feeling very reserved about that). Plus they won't tell you who will be delivering your goods. I'm lucky where the AusPost crew are really good but other shipping companies here are utter crap.

    I will certainly be waiting to see how this all pans out.

    • stockastics on 19/06/2018 - 13:20

    • netsurfer on 19/06/2018 - 14:59

      I'm lucky where the AusPost crew are really good but other shipping companies here are utter crap

      So you bought something from Amazon AU and it was delivered by AusPost? After that, you will not be spending any money on Amazon AU?

      • pikapika on 20/06/2018 - 09:20

        No, I never mentioned I bought anything from Amazon.au. I'm just saying Auspost here are good (because I know a lot of people who despise them) and the rest of the delivery services here are very unreliable.

        I have enquired in the past about who does their deliveries because it was unclear. The assistant told me the goods could be delivered by a few postal services but couldn't say who. If I knew that I could have my stuff just delivered by Auspost then I wouldn't be as worried but since it can come via anyone I'm not bothering to use them.

        • emoticon on 20/06/2018 - 16:56

          Well my friend, you’re in luck. Amazon does use Auspost to deliver packages. Have ordered from them before and regular delivery always had an Auspost E-Parcel label stuck on the package.

          I even have my orders delivered to my P.O Box.

          If you’re gonna boycott anyone, boycott Harvey Norman who are pushing for protectionist policies which harm real competition - like the one forcing Amazon United States to Pay GST on goods located in the U.S. that are sold to Australian customers.

          Imagine other nations forcing Australian businesses to do the same.

    • aeon on 19/06/2018 - 13:50

      Prime reading = 1000 titles (titles will change over time), included with Amazon Prime
      Kindle unlimited = all titles, not included with Amazon Prime, costs $13.99 a month

      • greater mimic on 19/06/2018 - 16:21

        Awesome, thanks mate. Follow up questions for anyone. Is there a way to see what books are on Prime Reading (without being signed up)? And I think I read somewhere about being able to borrow 1 book per month, does anyone know how that works?

  • exacto on 19/06/2018 - 14:12

    All the books say "The content isn't downloadable for your region".

    • aeon on 19/06/2018 - 16:01

    Having an issue with an order - really slow for Amazon AU to process it (not yet despatched). Customer Support offered free upgrade to priority shipping (basically the same one Amazon Prime members get). I am interested to see what that's like. Considered the order got upgraded at 8:50PM and it is quoting 2 days (item not yet despatched).

    At the same time, I am a bit concerned. Just don't want Amazon Prime becoming essential to get decent delivery from Amazon AU.

    • doweyy on 20/06/2018 - 22:24

      Just a heads up, Priority Shipping is actually one level above what Prime Users get (Expedited Shipping), priority will always be at a cost because they place you ahead of everyone else.

    Last month I accidently signed up to the Amazon US Prime, clicked by accident then forgot to cancel after the first free month so my fault 100%.
    Only noticed when I checked my CC. Quick online chat and funds ($17) where returned to my CC but also have the same amount in my Aussie account as a gift card. So I get double return? If so cant complain at all.
    Signed up to the Aussie Prime this time and will keep it. Might grab some socks and toothpaste.

  • tlaing on 20/06/2018 - 20:56

    Does anyone here have experience with Prime in two countries?

    I currently have a prime US membership and i'll likely keep that going for the amazon music and photos cloud drive benefits.

    I am aware the benefits are country specific (US gives US shipping, Aus give Aus shipping) but what about the online benefits like prime video?

    I currently get 2 concurrent streams with my US membership. If I add prime Aus to the same email address/account will that increase the concurrent streams to 4? If not i'm likely better adding Prime Aus to a new seperate account and having some of my other devices use that account.

    Keen to hear other peoples feedback.

    • Huntz on 20/06/2018 - 22:17
