"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JR -
Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostGood view from up here, isn't it. One of my friends downloads films; the classics and new film as soon as they become available, regardless of quality. He says it's "for the kids". As a result, the kids have seen all the classic films way before they've been able to really appreciate them (and don't watch them again as "already seen that", and they've never been to the cinema. And it's not as though he can't afford it. I really don't understand the mentality of having to have the latest films immediately. I'm happy to wait a few months.
Currently watching Netflix's Dirk Gently. Violent, quite grisly and very very funny.
I completely agree with your sentiment, but the big boys dug their heels in and tried their damnedest to keep the industry from changing. Fortunately they lost the war.
Take Spotify - I can't remember the last time I even touched an MP3 because it's so damned convenient. Meanwhile I still can't output certain legit streaming services to HDMI (4OD).
I pay for Netflix because it's cheap and great when i want it. I use Spotify all the damned time. And we rent loads of films via the Apple TV because it's a doddle. But then you get other services where it's literally easier to just download it.Comment

So it is a service which costs £6.58 per month and for that you get
Free delivery on some stuff - very useful this time of year
Lots of free movies, box sets etc - some can be great some can be rubbish
Only real disappointment for me is that kindle books are not included but meh...
So for all those who would rather commit a crime than pay £6.58 a month
1) AYSYACOTBAC
2) Do you regularly steal a bottle of wine from the Off Licence?

Originally posted by d000hg View PostYou get SOME kindle content don't you? The Library feature possibly not that I use it. Music is the big one you leave off; with Android/iOS devices you can download even Prime video and music to your device which is really handy.
Guaranteeing just the day is not that useful, a guaranteed 1-4 hour slot would be preferable. Obviously it varies what they can do depending where you live.
And yeah loads of music to be had.....
If I said I only just found out and have had prime for a year would you think me a muppets???
Think we tried the trial this time last year and let it renew because for 7 quid a month why the hell not!!

If everyone made use of all Amazon services they would either have to put the price up or remove stuff."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

But I've saved a small fortune in delivery charges so I'm pretty happy anyway. TGT is a bonus really, I find their other TV/film either too old ("seen it") or also available on Netflix. Mostly. I didn't like Mr.Robot.Comment

Originally posted by Platypus View PostSame issue here. I've had Prime since they introduced it and I didn't know there was any music included

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

We're enjoying Bosch and the free films are better selection than Netflix. Shame the video interface (on PS3 at least) is so terrible - really bad UX.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
