Amazon: we haven’t launched Prime, just opened access to our shows
Tech giant Amazon has said it has not launched its Amazon Prime streaming service in Australia, despite allowing Australians to access some of its content.
Overnight tech reporter Trevor Long discovered he could sign up for the Amazon Prime service from Australia without a geo block, and access some of its video content.
Here they come. Pull your pants up 7,9 and 10.
It’s like they’re saying to the local market “you’ll fucking know when we LAUNCH Amazon Prime”. This is just a taster.
Prime must be close to launching, there’s no way you would hand over approx $12/mth for the limited number of Amazon Originals on offer.
Goodby Foxtel. With a Pick n Mix from Amazon, Stan, Netflix, YouTube Red and all the Freeview Channel and ABC and SBS who is going to pay through the nose for Foxtel? I only need it now for F1 now and I can watch those races in the local Pub.
First, I didn’t realise that Jeff Goodby had launched an agency in conjunction with Foxtel. I wish them all success.
Second, who could be arsed having a Pick n Mix from Amazon, Stan, Netflix, YouTube, Red, Freeview, ABC, SBS … the list goes on. And when they all want their $10 a month it will end up costing more than Foxtel anyway.
I’m quite happy to pay my 1c each year for Manchester United TV, Liverpool FC TV and Chelsea TV – 3 cents well spent.
And no, I don’t work at, with or for Foxtel.
Anazon to my card details to suscribe to the Prime service then blocked content I wanted to watch because I was in Australia.
There was no mention of Geoblocking in the signup process. So much fortruth in advertising hey Amazon?
