Knew there’d be a cheaper country out there for HBO Max. Argentina has come good and I managed to easily take out a sub over there with my Australian card.

Step 1: VPN to Argentina ON.
Step 2: Go to the deal link, and take out your account subscription with a new account.
Step 3: You may notice you get charged a bit more than the cost of the subscription, this was refunded to me a few hours after taking out the sub.
Step 4: VPN off, and enjoy!

Receipt for proof.

I used my Macquarie card with fee-free Currency conversion.

Enjoy!

    The annoying thing about the good 75C855 and sound system deals on here are that I'm forced into Platinum tiers for all streaming services to capitalise on the TV and Sound quality I've paid for :D

    • edshays on 04/04/2025 - 14:04
      +1

      I have the 85c855. I feel ya.

      Disney+ is the only one that doesnt paywall resolution, but the price keeps going up (as expected). Paywalling resolution is like going to a restaurant and paying extra to have them serve it at the correct temperature, instead of letting it sit in the cold for ten mins as punishment haha

        Yeah it's getting ridiculous. I'm even contemplating sailing the high seas for the first time in 10 years to see if BluRay quality makes a difference.

        • deanylev on 04/04/2025 - 15:55
          +1

          Regular Blu Ray quality makes a massive difference, let alone 4K Blu Ray w/ HDR and Dolby Atmos. Since buying a S90C / Q930D I got very into physical media collecting, and almost exclusively watch movies that way.

          • AlbiesDad on 05/04/2025 - 00:21

            @deanylev: https://youtu.be/WbKCZpQN72c?si=K4VgMC8fI4UONzgC

            How come this guys YouTube video from 7 years ago shows a negligible difference between Blu Ray w/ Dolby Vision vs. Apple TV w/ Dolby Vision? I presume streaming quality has improved significantly in the past 7 years too.

            • deanylev on 05/04/2025 - 01:25
              +1

              @AlbiesDad: This video shows content bought off iTunes, which is a totally different ballgame to streaming services. Apple is also the exception to the rule, even content on Apple TV+ is served at a staggeringly high bitrate compared to over providers (Severance streams at around 40Mbps, compared to around 10Mbps for Netflix's 4K content).

              I presume streaming quality has improved significantly in the past 7 years too.

              You will find it is quite the opposite, these companies are constantly trying to see how low they can crank bitrates without people complaining. Your thinking is along the right lines, as there are have been great advancements in video codecs over the years, but companies simply use those advancements to save on bandwidth costs, not increase fidelity.

              • AlbiesDad on 05/04/2025 - 02:00

                @deanylev: Very insightful, thank you. I fear this is yet another rabbit hole I'm finding myself entering.

              • Jenbrook on 09/04/2025 - 16:41

                @deanylev: You know what’s strange though is that Apple TV streams so much more smoothly than Netflix, I guess they have better bandwidth and compression?
                I get ATV+ through India for about $20 a year everything else I sail the seas and use subler for meta data and artwork and host it in my headless Mac mini iTunes server.

                • deanylev on 09/04/2025 - 16:46

                  @Jenbrook: Doesn't surprise me - Netflix is so mature that they hyper optimise just about everything, whereas ATV+ is still early days, and is a total side business for Apple, meaning they can just throw money at it. Same reason the quality is so good :P

      • LordAnubis on 04/04/2025 - 16:57

        No Prime Video works in 4K unlike Disney the app actually works though

      • deanylev on 05/04/2025 - 01:30

        Charging more for higher resolutions makes a lot of sense from a business perspective, streaming something at 4K, which is 4x the resolution of 1080p, is going to cost them 4x as much bandwidth (assuming the bitrate is scaled linearly with the resolution).

        The restaurant analogy doesn't really work since serving food cold wouldn't save them any money, the equivalent here is really that you're being served a bigger portion of the same meal.

        And to your point about Disney+, they do exactly the same. The only services that only have 4K plans are Apple TV+ and Prime Video.

    • ozchobie on 04/04/2025 - 12:48
      +3

      Definitely Max. Binge app navigation is a joke. And you’re getting the best shows on binge with max anyways, which are mainly hbo tbh.

      • BigglesKDH on 04/04/2025 - 16:16

        Agreed, the Binge GUI is horrible, you horizontally scroll through shows and then when you select that show to get more details when you then back out, the list you have scrolled through jumps all the back to the start and you have to scroll all the way back to where you where, so infuriating.

    • Rkel403 on 04/04/2025 - 13:02
      +3

      The HBO content was the only thing bringing customers to binge (this is now removed). With Binge, all that’s left is now is heaps of reality tv and some uk shows - following on from all the price hikes and introduction of ads not at all worth the bloated monthly cost for a rubbish service.
      I would also be reluctant to sign up for annual sub to Max ( unless it was massively reduced compared to monthly 40-50%). Most people who have previously been on binge have seen the best of the HBO back catalogue, so there’s not going to be much to keep up with outside the 10weeks a year that there’s a new show you want to watch (house of dragon, last of us) .
      For me I’ll be dropping binge and only maintaining Max 3-4months of the year

  • ozchobie on 04/04/2025 - 12:46

    Got mine free from foxtel. Supposedly getting the basic plan with full hd but happy with the audio and video quality on my oled watching White Lotus. Getting good surrounds on my bedroom sonos setup.
